Spitter Plant

Spitter Plants is an enemy that appears in Crash Bandicoot 2. They first appear in the level Diggin' It where they spit exploding, bomb-like seeds from their mouths at the player.

They cannot be defeated with a spin due to the spikes they have guarding their entire lower half, but once Crash gets close enough to them, they will hide themselves around their spikes and cover their heads. At this point Crash can easily finish them off with a Belly Flop as jumping on them just causes Crash to bounce.

Crash can also defeat them by digging underneath them and spinning them. They may also be the source of Wumpa Fruit as they drop a significant amount after being defeated.

In the beta version of Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, the Spitter Plants' heads were supposed to be purple before being changed to red.
