'''Tangle Weed''' is a creature that can be found on [[Tallon IV]], [[Phaaze]], and other planets. It is a form of carnivorous plant that traps organisms in its tendrils before digesting them. | |||
==Morphology== | |||
Tangle Weed does not have the strength to hold down large organisms, making it harmless to [[Samus Aran|Samus]]. It does, however, slow Samus's movements down considerably if she walks over them by injecting paralyzing toxins from its thousands of barbs.<ref name="Corruption Logbook" /> If Samus attacks the plants with any weapon, Tangle Weeds will retract into the ground and remain there for a moment. Because of this cautious nature, Tangle Weeds cannot be destroyed by Samus. Tangle Weeds seem to be a common species considering they appear in many worlds. They adapt to their local environment, keeping distinct characteristics but the same basic behavior. These plants are related to the [[Venom Weed]], a similar plant with damaging toxic characteristics as well as paralyzing toxic abilities. | |||
Samus first encountered Tangle Weed patches throughout [[Tallon Overworld]] and [[Chozo Ruins]] in Tallon IV. Tangle Weeds serve more as a nuisance than anything else, considering that they are unable to damage Samus and Samus is unable to destroy them. | Samus first encountered Tangle Weed patches throughout [[Tallon Overworld]] and [[Chozo Ruins]] in Tallon IV.
