'''Beady (Baldy) Long Legs''' is an enemy in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. The only attack it has is stomping around, which it does more quickly when damaged, and its multiple feet crush any [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] they land on. When defeated, it crumbles into dust that disintegrates after its belongings drop from its orbicular torso. The creature is in both the main game and [[Challenge Mode]] of both games in the series.

The Beady Long Legs is an enemy in the Pikmin games. The only attack it has is stomping around, which it does more quickly when damaged, and its multiple feet crush any Pikmin they land on. When defeated, it crumbles into dust that disintegrates after its belongings drop from its orbicular torso. The creature is in both the main game and Challenge Mode of both games in the series.

In Pikmin 2, the Beady Long Legs has a more brownish tone to its body, while in the first one it is just yellow. It also has slightly different shaped feet. Appearances in the second game are more common, and have much less health, slower movements, and different cries. It first appears as a boss in Pikmin, where it is found in The Forest Navel, protecting the Guard Satellite ship part, and again in The Final Trial in Challenge Mode. In Pikmin 2, one appears on sublevel 5 of the Citadel of Spiders, where it drops a key which unlocks Challenge Mode, one on sublevel 14 of the Hole of Heroes, one in the Twilight Garden in Challenge Mode, and one that can be found in front of the landing site in the Perplexing Pool after day 30. Killing it here yields 20 small "1" pellets.

The Beady Long Legs does not appear in Pikmin 3, but there are two new Arachnorb bosses similar to it, the Shaggy Long Legs and Baldy Long Legs.

Notes

Olimar's voyage log

This creature is so large, it would tower over the Dolphin. All the Pikmin can do is cling to its feet and try to slow it down. Its large round torso is its sole weak point - since Yellow Pikmin fly highest, they should be most effective against it.

Reel notes

Waxy secretions form this creature's distinctive armored shell.

Olimar's notes

Although this creature is commonly associated with spiders, it is actually the result of a separate evolutionary line of insectoid creatures. Since the spherical body section supported by the creature's legs carries most of its internal organs, there appear to be no other features that would correspond to a head or abdomen.

Louie's notes

Poisonous. Consumption results in prolonged writhing and uncontrollable mirth.

How to kill

Pikmin

The player should have no more than 30 Pikmin (Yellows work best, as they are thrown higher), as a larger group can be hard to control and may cause a few deaths. When it has done 8 stomps (two with each leg), it will lean down. It will do this twice, so you should ignore it the first time, and then as soon as it begins to lean again, quickly throw Pikmin at its body. This will allow you to attack for a longer period of time. When it shivers, it is about to shake Pikmin off. Call the Pikmin quickly, or else they might fall off for a few seconds and lose their bud or flower status.

The Beady Long Legs can also be harmed by Pikmin attacking its feet; this is far more challenging and time-consuming, though in Pikmin 2 it can be made easier by using Purple Pikmin.

Captains

Even when petrified, its body is suspended too high for captains to reach.

Glitch

In Pikmin, there is a rare and dangerous glitch that causes Beady Long Legs to leave its arena. This glitch is most likely to happen when you leave the arena without killing it. Pikmin and/or Olimar have to be left at the gate to the small arena. The creature will then try to attack these, possibly leaving the arena. Once outside of the barriers, it will continue to pursue you. If you now run to the island where the Libra is, the enemy may fall into the abyss below, causing the game to crash (the game will also crash if you do not kill it after it leaves the arena after a certain amount of time).

If one wishes to attempt this glitch, the best place to do it without receiving any consequences is The Final Trial in challenge mode. Go to the arena in the back of the level and try this glitch on the Beady Long Legs in the arena.

In Pikmin 2, this is fixed. An enemy that has fallen into the abyss dies, and anything it might have been holding reappears above the ground near the place it fell.

Trivia

The prototype Beady Long Legs.
  • The Beady Long Legs is shown during the last few seconds of a pre-release trailer of Pikmin. Here, the creature appears to be taller and have a reddish tint to its skin, as well as being in an outside area similar to the Forest of Hope.
  • When at low health, the Beady Long Legs will acquire a reddish tint and start smoking at the joints in Pikmin. In Pikmin 2, the creature's body will start to flake away at low health.
  • In the Citadel of Spiders cave in Pikmin 2, a shadow of a spider web is displayed on the arena floor. This also applies to one of its appearances in Challenge Mode in Pikmin 2 and to the arena of the Raging Long Legs in the the Hole of Heroes.
  • It is unknown how Louie knows how to cook it, because in his only appearance so far, Pikmin 2, the Beady Long Legs falls apart very shortly after defeat.
