The '''Deceptive Long Legs''' is an [[Arachnorb family|arachnorb]] in ''[[Pikmin: Dusk and Dawn]]'' that lies on the final sublevel of the [[Dweevil's Nest]] and sublevel fifteen of the [[Crown of Bugs]]. No matter the location, it is always found in a round arena covered by beige grass, a [[treasure]] resting on it, its horns protruding from the ground but barely visible in the darkness of [[cave]]s. Once a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] tries digging up the treasure, it will spring up, throwing them and [[leader]]s off of itself, and begin to stomp around. In the Dweevil's Nest, the treasure on its head is the [[Pikmin: Dusk and Dawn/Treasure Hoard|Challengers Device]], a treasure that unlocks Challenge Mode. In the Crown of Bugs, the treasure on its head is the [[Pikmin: Dusk and Dawn/Treasure Hoard|Scented Lumber]], a green, tree-shaped car air freshener.


In the final sublevel of the [[Dweevil Nest]], and on sublevel 15 of the [[Crown of Bugs]], lies the Deceptive Long Legs. It is located in a round arena with beige grass. A [[Pikmin:Dusk and Dawn/Treasure Hoard|Treasure]] resting in the center of it, with the Boss' horns poking out of the ground. Once a Pikmin tries digging up the treasure, it will spring up, throwing Pikmin and Leaders off of it. After getting up, it will begin to stomp around, occasionally lowering its head to the ground, leaving a window for you to throw your Pikmin onto its head.
The Deceptive Long Legs is a much larger boss variant of the [[Deceptive Dweevil]]. Its head is covered in dirt and vegetation, its giant horns holding a large chunk of soil, grass, and vines securely in place. Two of its four rock-covered legs are used for [[Blunt force|crushing]] and the other two for [[Blunt force|stabbing]]. It has a smooth, rounded head with four glowing eyes and a distinct lack of mandibles.  
 
 
The Deceptive Long Legs is a much larger boss variant of the [[Deceptive Dweevil]], sporting 4 legs, covered in dirt and rock. 2 of which are used for [[Blunt force|crushing]], and the other two for [[Blunt force|stabbing]].

It has a distinct lack of mandibles, but its giant rock-covered legs make up for the danger factor. Due to the rocks on its legs, it is impossible to have your Pikmin climb up to its head, so the proper strategy would be to wait until it lowers its head towards the ground, and throw your Pikmin at it.

The Deceptive Long Legs is an arachnorb in Pikmin: Dusk and Dawn that lies on the final sublevel of the Dweevil's Nest and sublevel fifteen of the Crown of Bugs. No matter the location, it is always found in a round arena covered by beige grass, a treasure resting on it, its horns protruding from the ground but barely visible in the darkness of caves. Once a Pikmin tries digging up the treasure, it will spring up, throwing them and leaders off of itself, and begin to stomp around. In the Dweevil's Nest, the treasure on its head is the Challengers Device, a treasure that unlocks Challenge Mode. In the Crown of Bugs, the treasure on its head is the Scented Lumber, a green, tree-shaped car air freshener.

The Deceptive Long Legs is a much larger boss variant of the Deceptive Dweevil. Its head is covered in dirt and vegetation, its giant horns holding a large chunk of soil, grass, and vines securely in place. Two of its four rock-covered legs are used for crushing and the other two for stabbing. It has a smooth, rounded head with four glowing eyes and a distinct lack of mandibles.

Due to the rocks on its legs, it is impossible for Pikmin to climb up to its head, so the proper strategy would be to wait until it lowers its head toward the ground and then throw Pikmin at it. Yellow Pikmin, as usual, make the fight significantly easier, as they are able to latch onto its head at all times. After a while of being attacked, it will tense itself before jumping into the air and falling to the ground, crushing any Pikmin or leaders under it. In Hard Mode, when it lands, boulders will begin falling, crushing any Pikmin under them.

Notes

Olimar's notes

Deceptive Long Legs / Gigarachnia terrarale / Arachnorb family. Unlike its brethren, my Pikmin cannot climb up its legs to access its head, I must wait until it drops low to the ground before I begin my attack.

Louie's notes

Pry the rocks off of its body, then wash the dirt off thoroughly. Once clean, boil for 2 hours until a rich blue color. Crack the shell open, and serve with your choice of dip for a snack you won't forget. As a bonus, the horns can be used as forks.

Chacho's notes

Maybe the dirt contains gold? Perhaps the rocks contain rare fossils? I'm stretching myself here.
