The '''Groovy Long Legs''' ({{j|ダマグモインフェルノ|Dama Gumo Inferno|Inferno Orb Spider}}) is a member of the [[Arachnorb family]] and only appears once as a [[boss]] in {{P4}}. It is one of two bio-mechanical enemies seen in the game, with its carapace suggested to have been completely replaced with a spinning disco ball, with its numerous eyes serving as both photoelectric sensors and lights. The beast's four bony white legs are wrapped with strands that look similar to electrical wire and the second set of joints on all of its limbs have sets of four holes containing exocrine glands.

The torso contains a speaker that plays all of the audio heard from the creature in-game.


Like most [[Arachnorb family|Arachnorbs]], the Groovy Long Legs attacks by stomping its four large feet around. This is where shared qualities end though, as the rest of its strategy involves spewing neurologically manipulating gasses below itself, which, when coming into contact with Pikmin, [[control|hypnotizes]] them to dance uncontrollably. It then switches the color of its eyes before speeding up the rhythm of its stomping in an attempt to squash anything afflicted by the chemicals underneath it.

The gas emitted from the posterior of its first leg joints includes a chemical substance that, after making contact with another organism's brain, temporarily controls that organism's actions. The Groovy Long Legs uses this natural phenomenon, called the "Endless Dance," to make its prey jump between its legs while it moves around in bizarre rhythms.

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
An Arachnorb that, though it retains some organic matter in some of its internal organs, has a carapace made up mostly of inorganic matter. The gas emitted from the posterior of its first joints contains a chemical substance that acts on the brain of its prey and temporarily takes over its actions.
Feature #1: Multiple eyes
:The 19 glowing eyes (photoelectric sensors) allow it to precisely locate its prey.
Feature #2: Endless Dance
:The way the Pikmin bounce around single-mindedly is called the Endless Dance.
Feature #3: Machine or creature?
:The coating that covers its body and the dangling cords are made of a high-molecular compound similar to vinyl chloride.

* While below half health and in its blue state, the Groovy Long Legs' legs will shake upon taking a step. The same happens to the [[Baldy Long Legs]].
* Though its eyes have been replaced with artificial sensors, this still makes it the only member of the [[arachnorb family]] known to have any kind of visual organ.
** Although the split in the orb of the [[Baldy Long Legs]] will glow red in [[Night expedition]]s similar to the eyes of other enemies, it's unknown if these are also eyes.
