Behavior

Female Shooting Spiners patrol their webs until a target moves nearby. In this state, they only detect a target by horizontal approximation, meaning it doesn't matter how far away vertically the target is. Once they spot potential prey, they stop in place, hang on through a string of web, and start lowering until they're leveled with their victim. Once this happens, they spin around a bit and spring their spiny legs to try to stab their foe, which can be too far away or not. Any Pikmin that are touched by the extended legs will be killed, and Olimar can take damage with this. They then retract their legs and climb back up the string. After climbing the entire thing, it goes back to its initial state. If while it's trying to come to the same level as its prey, said prey ends up moving too far away horizontally, it will just spin and extend the legs right there, and then go back up.

Locations

The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Hey! Pikmin.
Particularly: List all places the enemy can be found in.

Strategy

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

The female Spiner can be taken out in a single hit with a Pikmin. Be cautious to time a throw so the Spiner's legs will be retracted when the Pikmin lands. This means you should either attack before or after it does its own attack.

If you need to lure it down, you can do so safely. Carefully inch your way closer, and once the creature starts going down its string of web, stop. You should be far enough away for it to not reach you with the legs.

Notes

Hey! Pikmin logs

I was startled to learn that all members of this species are born male, but some metamorphose into females as they grow older. On second thought, it's a little embarrassing I was so surprised. The universe is a big place with all kinds of possibilities I never considered. Who am I to say this one or that one is weird?
