Ape-Eating Plants,[1] originally known as hungry plants,[2] are carnivorous plant enemies that appear in Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. They are blue, medium-sized variant of Chomps with a tongue in the shape of a vine. Ape-Eating Plants only appear in some vine levels of the Forest world, and their first level appearance is Vine Valley.
Ape-Eating Plants always appear on the ceiling where they hide behind some leaves while sticking their tongue down. When the Kongs grab its tongue, the plant slowly pulls the tongue back to its mouth, attempting to eat the Kongs. Its tongue is necessary for progressing higher into the level, and the Kongs must quickly get off its tongue to avoid being eaten. If it does, although a prompt does not appear to indicate this like with green Chomps, the player is able to force the Kongs out by shaking the controller (pressing 
or 
repeatedly in the 3DS version). If successful, the Kongs escape unharmed; otherwise, after a period of time, the plant spits them out and they lose a heart. Ape-Eating Plants cannot be defeated by any attack.
