Shaggy Long Legs is a miniboss in Pikmin 3, and a member of the Arachnorb family. This Arachnorb has masses of long, shaggy hair covering several parts of its body. Its color scheme depends on the habitat that it dwells in. This species of Arachnorb does not stop to rest as do the rest of the members of its family. However, it does stop to shake off Pikmin, which are able to climb the Shaggy Long Legs' legs.

There are 2 variants of this creature found in the game; A black and purple variant found in the Tropical Wilds, and a black and white variant found in the Distant Tundra.

A different creature called the Baldy Long Legs is essentially the counterpart of this creature, appropriately named due to its lack of hair.
