Vine Eater

Vine Eaters are enemies appearing in the arcade version of Donkey Kong 3. They appear only when the timer runs out and are immune to Stanley's Sprayer. They will chew through the vines suspending Donkey Kong from the roof of the greenhouse. Stanley must defeat Donkey Kong before the Vine Eaters devour the vines, or Donkey Kong falls and Stanley loses a life.

Trivia

 * While they are not in the NES version, they appear in the boxart which reuses artwork from the arcade version.
