Vicious Viner

Vicious Viners are prehistoric plant enemies found in the Eggipus Dimension in Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time.

Overview
Vicious viners are more skin to obstacles than enemies. They use their long, thorny tongues to block the path and attempt to eat the player character. They have two modes of movement, quickly thrashing their tongue across the path for a few seconds at a time, or slowly sweeping their tongue across the ground. The only way to defeat a vicious viner is with the use of Aku Aku's protection, so the best method of dealing with them is to simply avoid them. Kupuna-Wa's time-slowing abilities are sometimes necessary to avoid fast-moving vines. Vicious viners are found in the levels Blast to the Past and Fossil Fueled.
