Reaper Vine

Reaper Vines are enemies encountered in Metroid Prime.
==Description==
Reaper Vines are plant-like creatures found on Tallon IV, consisting of large, tentacle-like vines that swing around a scythe-shaped appendage, attacking anything near them. A small eye can be found near the base of the scythe, which, if hit, will cause the vine to retract into the hole in the wall the Reapers grow from. Reaper vines usually move slowly, but when Samus gets close, they will start to swing around wildly, making it harder to hit the eye. A charged Plasma Beam shot will kill a Reaper Vine. They can be seen in the Chozo Ruins. There is an underwater creature known as the Aqua Reaper also found on Tallon IV in the crashed Frigate Orpheon and Phendrana Drifts; this organism seems to be a distant cousin of the Reaper Vine, but more closely resembles a squid's tentacle.
There are two species that are similar in appearance and behavior to the Reaper Vines and Aqua Reapers but are not known to be related: the Darkling Tentacle from Dark Aether and the Whipvine seen on the BOTTLE SHIP.
Reaper Vines can be seen in the Watery Hall, Arboretum, Sunchamber Access and Sunchamber Lobby.

===Logbook entry===
===Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion: Prima's Official Strategy Guide===
;Reaper Vine
:"Reaper Vines have sharp scythelike appendages that can slice and dice an opponent. These wild vines stick out of the walls and flail wildly as you approach. Blast them near their tips to make them retract into their holes. Reaper Vines only stay in their holes for a short time when shot. There is no way to permanently destroy them."
;Reaper Vine
:Found In: Chozo Ruins, Tallon Overworld
:Recommended Weapon: Any
:"Reaper Vines protrude from holes in the walls or holes in the ground, or are simply planted in the ground. Shooting them only makes them retract for a short time. They are most commonly seen blocking your path. Shoot them and be on your way."
===Metroid Prime: The Official Nintendo Player's Guide===
;REAPER VINE
:"Reaper Vines can't get up and move around, but that doesn't mean they aren't deadly. Each vine has a single eye and a razor-sharp claw on its tip, and it will swing the claw at any enemy that enters its field of vision. Lock onto the eye and fire a few blasts to scare the Reaper Vine back into its hole. It won't stay down for long, so move quickly."
===Metroid Prime Official Strategy Guide===
;REAPER VINE
:MORPHOLOGY
:"A powerful, rock-dwelling tentacle, it appears to be part of a much larger organism. A single eye upon the Reaper Vine keeps a constant vigil, but its vision is limited to 10 meters. A scythe-like appendage on its tip is honed to lethal sharpness. The Reaper Vine will swing this blade wildly at anything that enters its zone of perception."
:COMBAT TIPS
:"Reaper Vines are indestructible, but they can be stunned, causing them to retract into their holes, allowing Samus to move past them. When a Reaper Vine comes out of a hole and swipes at her, hit it in the eye with the Power Beam and it will disappear for a few short seconds."
===Metroid Prime Official Perfect Guide===
;REAPER VINE
:"Reaper Vines retract once you blast them with your Power Beam; but if you make contact they'll inflict damage."
==Trivia==
*When shooting the eye with any beam other than the Plasma Beam while standing very close, the Reaper Vine will pull Samus with it towards the wall as it retracts. However, this does not inflict damage.
