Parsnik

Parsnik () is a monster the protagonist encounters in Undertale, appearing throughout the Ruins only on Hard Mode. It is a stronger variation of Vegetoid, with snakes on its head.

=== Appearance ===
Parsnik looks slightly different from its normal counterpart. Its figure is now somewhat skinnier, and its face is different too: its mouth has a more snake-like look, while two white pupils can be seen within its eyes. On top of its head, it has wiggling snakes.

== Trivia ==
* Parsnik's name comes from parsnip, a root vegetable that Parsnik resembles, and the suffix -ic, which parallels the suffix -oid in Vegetoid's name.
** Additionally, it is spelled -ik in order to reference the word snake, and humorous misspelling of it like snek.
* Its appearance is likely a reference to Medusa.
