The '''Arachnode''' is a spider-like enemy in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It is the first arachnid-based enemy in the Pikmin series with an interactable web. While dormant on its web, it has a black and yellow striped and sphere-shaped body. This shape and coloring comes from the eight legs wrapped tightly around its body; the actual body is a small black orb with yellow circles instead of stripes. Its behavior and anatomy differ from both the [[Arachnorb]] and [[Dweevil]] family: they both have noticeably longer and thinner legs than the Arachnode, and neither eat Pikmin when fought. The game gives no information as to the relations of the different families.
Their webs act as the primary hazard for [[Winged Pikmin]]. When Winged Pikmin are carrying anything back to the Onion, and an Arachnode and its web are in the way, the Winged Pikmin will get stuck, putting them at risk of being devoured.

The Arachnode will remain dormant until Pikmin are thrown, or in the case of [[Winged Pikmin]], fly into its net. After a while, it will stand up and wander to the Pikmin, consuming them quickly once it has reached them. It may also wander around the web freely in order to avoid Pikmin being thrown at it. The web will collapse once the Arachnode is defeated.

Winged Pikmin carrying objects back to the [[Onion]]s and [[S.S. Drake]] will get stuck in webs that are along their route, but they can nonetheless carry Olimar underneath the web that is in the Formidable Oak without any trouble.


== Strategy ==
[[Rock Pikmin]] will kill an Arachnode in a single hit. Though it is not grounded, the Arachnode does not count as an airborne enemy, and Winged Pikmin deal little damage, so using them is only recommended if no Rock Pikmin are present and the Winged group is rather large. The Arachnorb can eat Pikmin from either side of the web, yet can only be attacked from the side it is on.


Pikmin caught in the web can be saved by whistling at them. This is important especially with a small squad, as Pikmin shaken off by the Arachnode will usually get stuck in the web.
To defeat it, a Pikmin or leader must be thrown at its web. After being caught in the web, the creature will try to eat the immobilized Pikmin or leader. At this time, throw another Pikmin (preferably Rock Pikmin as they can make short work of the Arachnode) directly at it to cause damage. Once defeated, its web will break apart and the creature will be ready to be taken to back to the [[Onions|Onion]]. If you're quick enough, you can quickly land three consecutive hits from Rock Pikmin on it, instantly killing it. One thing to note is that the Arachnode can eat your pikmin from the other side of the web, but you ''cannot ''attack it from the other side of the web.

The Arachnode is a spider-like creature in Pikmin 3. When undisturbed, they'll take on a cocoon-like appearance, but once a Pikmin or leader is caught in its web, it will reveal its true form and try to attack them.

Their webs act as the primary hazard for Winged Pikmin. When Winged Pikmin are carrying anything back to the Onion, and an Arachnode and its web are in the way, the Winged Pikmin will get stuck, putting them at risk of being devoured.

Notes

Pikmin 3 Website

"An eight-legged creature that traps its prey in a sticky web."

Strategy

To defeat it, a Pikmin or leader must be thrown at its web. After being caught in the web, the creature will try to eat the immobilized Pikmin or leader. At this time, throw another Pikmin (preferably Rock Pikmin as they can make short work of the Arachnode) directly at it to cause damage. Once defeated, its web will break apart and the creature will be ready to be taken to back to the Onion. If you're quick enough, you can quickly land three consecutive hits from Rock Pikmin on it, instantly killing it. One thing to note is that the Arachnode can eat your pikmin from the other side of the web, but you cannot attack it from the other side of the web.
