Changes: Reaper Vine

Revision as of 18:02, 15 December 2014

Reaper Vines are plant-like creatures found on Tallon IV, consisting of large, tentacle-like vines that swing around a scythe-shaped appendage, attacking anything near them. A small eye can be found near the base of the scythe, which, if hit, will cause the vine to retract into the hole in the wall the Reapers grow from. Reaper vines usually move slowly, but when Samus gets close, they will start to swing around wildly, making it harder to hit the eye. A charged Plasma Beam shot will kill a Reaper Vine. They can be seen in the Chozo Ruins. There is an underwater creature known as the Aqua Reaper also found on Tallon IV in the crashed Frigate Orpheon and Phendrana Drifts; this organism seems to be a distant cousin of the Reaper Vine, but more closely resembles a squid's tentacle.

There are two species that are similar in appearance and behavior to the Reaper Vines and Aqua Reapers but are not known to be related: the Darkling Tentacle from Dark Aether and the Whipvine seen on the Bottle Ship.

Trivia

When shooting the eye with any beam other than the Plasma Beam while standing very close, the Reaper Vine will pull Samus with it towards the wall as it retracts. However, this does not inflict damage.
