Tangle Weed

From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki

Samus scans a group of Tangle Weed.

Tangle Weed is a plant species first seen on Tallon IV in Metroid Prime. It entangles creatures that pass through it, slowing down larger creatures (such as Samus), or stopping smaller ones entirely. Shooting at or near it will make it retract into the ground. Tangle Weed reappear in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and while scannable are not entries to the Logbook. They can also be observed in the Drop Shaft on Phaaze in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

There is a poisonous variant on Tallon IV known as Venom Weed.

[edit] Metroid Prime Logbook Entry

Metroid Prime: "Plant life with basic sentience. Retracts into the ground if threatened. Tangle Weeds are only dangerous to small organisms. They are covered in tiny barbs designed to trap potential meals. Tangle Weeds lack the strength to do anything more than hinder larger lifeforms."

[edit] Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Logbook Entry

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: "A simple bioform of plant life of which there are many species across many worlds. While each breed may have characteristics native to their respective ecology, they all possess identical behavior. Tangle Weeds constantly sway their brightly colored leaves to attract potential prey to land on them. The thousands of microscopic barbs lining the Tangle Weed's body will snare and inject a paralyzing toxin into their victim. While small organisms are unable to escape, Tangle Weeds lack the strength to do anything more than hinder the movement of larger life-forms. When attacked, they will retract into the ground until they no longer sense a threat."
