Shaggy Long Legs is a miniboss in Pikmin 3, and a member of the Arachnorb family. This Long Legs' body is completely covered by a mass of shaggy hair. Its color scheme depends on the habitat that it dwells in. This species of Arachnorb does not stop to rest as do the rest of the members of its family. However, it does stop to shake off Pikmin, which are able to climb the Shaggy Long Legs' legs.[1]
A different creature called the Baldy Long Legs is essentially the counterpart of this creature, appropriately named due to its lack of hair.
Strategy
The Shaggy Long Legs cannot receive much damage as long as its hair is attached to its abdomen. To remove the hair, the player can use Yellow Pikmin to throw up at the creature's body. Although they will fall off, they will pull off small sections of its hair until all of its hair falls off, allowing its body to be freely attacked. Alternatively, Winged Pikmin can be used in conjunction to pull its hair up and out of the way so other Pikmin can attack.
An easier method is to use Rock Pikmin. Throw Rock Pikmin at the Shaggy Long Legs' feet, and they will start to climb up its legs, pulling off hair as they pass by the joints. Once all the hair is pulled off of its body, they will latch on and attack it freely.
While any Pikmin type can climb up the legs, Rock Pikmin's immunity to being crushed makes them a better choice for battling this creature. Using Winged Pikmin after all its hair is gone is also a viable strategy since they'll automatically charge at its main body without the need to climb its legs.
