Raging Long Legs 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 size of its feet means they harm Pikmin and enemies alike. The fact that it has a larger body means any kind of Pikmin can be thrown onto it without waiting makes the battle easier.
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 Mitites. It can, however, regain health if left alone.
This rare boss is only seen on the last sublevel (15) of the Hole of Heroes, the single sublevel of the Cavernous Abyss in Challenge Mode, and in the Angle Maze stage of 2-Player Mode if the selected layout is the one with a large central area.
Strategy
Pikmin
Despite wielding feet much larger than the Beady Long Legs, this does not make it too much more of a threat. It is possible to stay underneath the creature's abdomen with a small squad of Pikmin without having to fear being crushed. This is because this enemy can't move its feet directly underneath its body, even when enraged, and so there is always a safe area right underneath the large orb. Since the Pikmin should be called back just before the enemy can shake them off, the amount of Pikmin that can be used are limited anyway, so a group of about 15 is recommended.
Captains
The Raging Long Legs is impossible to defeat with Captains.

Trivia
- The Raging Long Legs has the most health out of all creatures in Pikmin 2, even more than the Titan Dweevil, the game's final boss. However, the fact that the Raging Long Legs is an easy target, even with Purple Pikmin, and that its only attack is stomping, drastically reduces the potential difficulty of the battle.
