They appear exclusively in some vine levels of the [[Forest (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Forest]], and Ape-Eating Plants are first encountered in the level [[Vine Valley (level)|Vine Valley]]. These carnivorous plants are a blue, medium-sized variant of [[Chomp (Donkey Kong Country series)|Chomps]] with a tongue in the shape of a [[swinging vine|hanging vine]]. Ape-Eating Plants always appear on the ceiling where they hide behind some leaves while sticking their tongue down. When the [[Kong]]s 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 Chomp]]s, the player is able to force the Kongs out by shaking the controller (pressing {{button|3ds|x}} or {{button|3ds|y}} repeatedly in the port). 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.

| | Vine Chomps are always located in the ceiling, and they hide in their leaves waiting for a [[Kong]] to approach its vine. When the Kongs grab onto the vine, the Vine Chomp then starts to slowly pull the vine back to its mouth, trying to eat the Kongs. Vine Chomps cannot be defeated by any means of attack. |
