Bramble
Bramble are monsters and enemies in Risk of Rain Returns.
Description
Brambles are an aggressive plant-like species that sprout from a mobile quadruped plant base. Their most notable feature is a extendable piece of vine that connects their head to their body, allowing them great vertical freedom. They have two mouths with two mandibles each, and a shining blue eye.
Brambles are capable of spitting caustic venomous projectiles that are expelled from both of their mouths simultaneously.
Despite their mouth being lined with 'teeth', they do not bite to attack. It is unknown if Brambles are carnivorous or if their mouths have a use otherwise.
Behaviour
Brambles are turret-like enemies that make up for their low health and damage by being able to reach the player at almost any height and overwhelm them with continuous projectile fire.
Bramble's heads are susceptible to attacks along with their body. This trivializes them if dealt with quickly as they have a long cooldown after attacking. Dodging their first shot allows for dispatching them quickly. They are also unable to cross ledges or gaps, jump, or climb ropes and are susceptible to staggers and stuns.

Monster Log
While walking through overgrown ruins I found myself surrounded by strange rustling that I could not place. Stepping into a massive temple, vines whipped the entryway shut and the ivy began slithering down the walls. These living Brambles spit caustic venom and I'm thankful to only have holes left in my gloves. Their hypnotic sway distills fear in me and I recognize some higher intelligence in their movements. The bark at their base facilitates some kind of locomotions, though I can't identify any apparant muscular system inside that would drive it. After the encounter, the resulting coughs and spasms left me on edge as I scaled the tower and left the echoes behind me.
