It's thick blue vines are constantly jiggling and swaying. This appears to be a defensive technique, as the movement unnerves enemies and deters herbivores that might have otherwise mistaken Tangela for a shrub. Any moving object that gets too close to a Tangela will be ensnared by it's vines. This also appears to be a defensive technique, rather than a predatory one, because Tangela's vines will easily and painlessly snap off if the target pulls on them, suggesting that the ensnaring is intended to scare off potential predators. | It's thick blue vines are constantly jiggling and swaying.
