'''Raging Long Legs''' ({{j|ゾウノアシ| | '''Raging Long Legs''' ({{j|ゾウノアシ|Zou no Ashi|Elephant Feet}}) is a boss in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is related to the [[Beady Long Legs]], but has bigger, hairier feet, a bigger body (to the point where any Pikmin can reach it), is glossy black with purple veins, and moves more slowly. It is also much stronger, and so takes longer to kill. Like the Beady Long Legs, the beast shakes Pikmin off and starts stomping angrily if enough damage is dealt to it that it becomes agitated; this is more dangerous due to the size of its feet. The fact that it has a larger body means any kind of Pikmin can be [[throw]]n onto it without waiting, which makes attacking easier. | ||
The size of its feet means they harm Pikmin and enemies alike. It dies in the same manner as the Beady Long Legs, ejecting its possessions from its body, crumbling into dust. If this creature does not have any treasure to drop, it will instead drop 30 [[Mitite]]s. It can [[Health#Regeneration|regain health]] if given the time. | The size of its feet means they harm Pikmin and enemies alike.

The Raging Long Legs is distinguished from the [[Beady Long Legs]] with the word "raging", which may have been given because it goes into a rage fit when it takes heavy damage. In Japan, it is called {{j|ゾウノアシ|Zou no Ashi}}, which literally translates to "Foot of Elephant". This is apt, given that its feet are quite massive. Its scientific name is ''pseudoarachnia furiendis'', where ''pseudoarachnia'' is a genus name used on the [[arachnorb family]], and ''furiendis'' is similar to the Latin ''furor'', which means rage, once again tying in to the creature's short temper. Internally, the boss is known as <code>bigfoot</code>, once more because of its large feet, but perhaps also as a nod to the legendary [[wikipedia:Bigfoot|Bigfoot]]. | |||
