Biology
Tangela's whole body is covered with thick blue vines, concealing its identity. It will tangle and get entangled with nearly anything. Its vines snap off painlessly and easily if they are grabbed, allowing it to escape, and the lost vines grow back the next day.
The vines have a distinct scent, and in some parts of Galar, are used as herbs.
