The '''Man-at-legs''' is a member of the Arachnorb family, and first appeared as a boss in [[Pikmin 2]]. Unlike the two other Arachnorbs, it is a bio-mechanical creature and has very spindly legs and almost no feet, making its battle strategy different. It moves around quickly, and stops only to use its machine gun-like weapon to attack, usually when you have agitated it with attacks. It has its flaws, though; there is a visible laser it uses to target the Pikmin, making it obvious where it's going to shoot. Unfortunately, the blasts come very quickly, so the laser is not of much use when avoiding the enemy. These enemies, thankfully, are usually found in arenas that have raised ground that can be used as shields against the blasts. When it dies, it explodes; this is quite different from its relatives. When it explodes it releases the [[Stellar Orb]]. As a side note, this enemy cannot be [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] while it is dormant. | The '''Man-at-legs''' is a member of the Arachnorb family, and first appeared as a boss in [[Pikmin 2]].

The name is a pun on "man at arms", a professional soldier during the Middle Ages. All knights were technically men-at-arms, but not all men-at-arms were knights; seargents were non-noble men-at-arms. | The name is a pun on "man at arms", a professional soldier during the Middle Ages.
