Generation VI
It ensnares prey by extending arms made of vines. Losing arms to predators does not trouble it.
Its vines grow so profusely that, in the warm season, you can’t even see its eyes.
Generation VIII
Tangrowth has two arms that it can extend as it pleases. Recent research has shown that these arms are, in fact, bundles of vines.
Vine growth is accelerated for Tangrowth living in warm climates. If the vines grow long, Tangrowth shortens them by tearing parts of them off.
Draped with long vines, it resembles a shrub in appearance. It swings bundles of vines as though they were arms, wrapping them around prey to ensnare them.
