Tentacle-flowers are enemies located in the Dream Forest.

They are resistant enemies who freely wander on their platform, turning backwards whenever they reach an obstacle. Contact with them hurts Rayman, and he must also avoid the Livingstones that they keep spitting.

Only one tentacle-flower is encountered in the original game, in Moskito's Nest; however, more of them can be found in Rayman Designer.

In the games

When punched, a tentacle-flower normally spits out a Livingstone or small Livingstone and continues to move. However, when a tentacle-flower is punched in the mouth, it spits out Livingstones, loses some health and falls to the ground, stunned for a few seconds before rising up again. The more damage a tentacle-flower takes, the more Livingstones it spits out at once. After being punched in the mouth six times, it is defeated.

The tentacle-flower

Careful!

Appearances can be deceiving; it will be up again in a few seconds!

Similar plants

In the PC and Game Boy Advance versions of the game, Moskito's Nest features what seem to be enormous old tree-trunks in one level. They look curiously similar to tentacle-flowers. The level containing the boss fight itself also takes place upon a curious plant which evokes the tentacle-flower.

These trunks in Moskito's Nest bear a strange resemblance to the tentacle-flowers

When fighting Moskito, similar trunks can be seen once again in the background
