A '''Whipvine'''<ref>Name from ''Other M'' Prima Strategy Guide</ref> is a stationary, plant-like entity that appears in ''[[Metroid: Other M]]'', in the [[Biosphere]] onboard the [[Bottle Ship]]. It usually appears as a small, orange pod affixed to a wall, and is invulnerable to all weapons. However, when [[Samus]] approaches, the pod will open and extend a long, coiled tentacle similar to the [[Reaper Vine]] of [[Tallon IV]], or will begin shooting sparks. If Samus gets within the creature's reach while it has a tentacle, it will grab her, shake her about, and electrocute her before letting go, destroying the vine in the process and begin to shoot sparks instead. This attack, although non-lethal, is one of the few sources of damage that can interrupt the [[Screw Attack]]. The Whipvine is also capable of swiping at Samus more quickly- although it will be unable to electrocute her, the vine will remain intact to be used later. When open, Whipvines are vulnerable to a single [[Missile]] blast, the [[Plasma Beam]], or the Screw Attack. |

Whipvines seem to be symbiotically related to the Bottle Ship's [[Kihunter]]s: five of the plants can be seen on the supports surrounding the Kihunter hive on the [[Biological Experiment Floor]], and will attack [[Samus]] in a coordinated pattern along with the Kihunters. Whether this is a natural relationship or the result of [[MB]]'s tampering is unknown. |

A Whipvine[1] is a stationary, plant-like entity that appears in Metroid: Other M, in the Biosphere onboard the Bottle Ship. It usually appears as a small, orange pod affixed to a wall, and is invulnerable to all weapons. However, when Samus approaches, the pod will open and extend a long, coiled tentacle similar to the Reaper Vine of Tallon IV, or will begin shooting sparks. If Samus gets within the creature's reach while it has a tentacle, it will grab her, shake her about, and electrocute her before letting go, destroying the vine in the process and begin to shoot sparks instead. This attack, although non-lethal, is one of the few sources of damage that can interrupt the Screw Attack. The Whipvine is also capable of swiping at Samus more quickly- although it will be unable to electrocute her, the vine will remain intact to be used later. When open, Whipvines are vulnerable to a single Missile blast, the Plasma Beam, or the Screw Attack. Whipvines seem to be symbiotically related to the Bottle Ship's Kihunters: five of the plants can be seen on the supports surrounding the Kihunter hive on the Biological Experiment Floor, and will attack Samus in a coordinated pattern along with the Kihunters. Whether this is a natural relationship or the result of MB's tampering is unknown.
Their behavior is similar to the Aetherian Sporb.
