'''Beady Long Legs''' is an enemy in both [[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. To defeat it, one must throw pikmin at its orb-like torso. Yellow pikmin are recommended for this because the torso is high up.

To defeat it, one must throw pikmin at its orb-like torso. Yellow pikmin are recommended for this because the torso is high up. Swarming the feet will slow down the movement of the foot but is highly dangerous because the pikmin may be crushed. When defeated, it crumbles into dust that disintegrates after its belongings explode from its torso. The creature is in both the main game and [[Challenge Mode]] of both games in the series. In the ''[[Pikmin (game)|first Pikmin game]]'' it stomps faster than in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', and its feet stick into the ground. In ''Pikmin 2'', it's slower and its feet don't stick into the ground. | ||
In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', the Beady Long Legs has a more brownish tone to its body, while in the first one it is just yellow. Appearances in the second game are more common, and have much less health, slower movements and different cries. It first appears as a miniboss in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin 1]]'', where it is found in [[The Forest Navel]], protecting the [[Guard Satellite]] [[:category:ship parts|ship part]], and again in [[The Final Trial]] in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 1)|Challenge Mode]]. In ''Pikmin 2'', one appears on [[sublevel]] 5 of the [[Citadel of Spiders]], where it drops a [[The Key|key]] which unlocks [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|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 every palindrome day in front of the landing site in the [[Perplexing Pool]] after day 30. (False, as Beady Long Legs seems to be "found" every 3 days. Last fought on day 179 and then on day 183, but in another game only appears on Palindrome days.) If you walk on a small, white circle on the ground, it will fall out of the sky. Also, on the same day, [[Dwarf Bulbear|dwarf bulbears]] and a [[Bulbear|bulbear]] come to the same area, so take care of the beady long legs quickly. Killing it here yields 20 small "1" [[pellet]]s. | In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', the Beady Long Legs has a more brownish tone to its body, while in the first one it is just yellow.

The best way to defeat the Beady Long Legs is to wait until it lowers its body and quickly toss Pikmin onto it, then call them back before it shakes them off. [[Yellow Pikmin]] are ideal since they can be thrown higher, thus they can reach the head without having to wait for the enemy to lower it. The number can be varied to balance risk and speed: the more used, the quicker the enemy will die, but it becomes harder to avoid any Pikmin losses.45 [[Yellow Pikmin]] should work fine. Sprays can also be used to your advantage during the battle. Another less safe way to defeat the Beady Long Legs is to attack one of it's feet with about 30 Pikmin this will cause it to lower itself making it so you can use any type of Pikmin to to maximum damage. You must watch out for its other 3 legs though as those will still be moving. | The best way to defeat the Beady Long Legs is to wait until it lowers its body and quickly toss Pikmin onto it, then call them back before it shakes them off.
