The '''Carnivorous Plantlife'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier. ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide. Page 26.</ref> of ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' is a family of venus flytrap creatures possessing pear-shaped heads upheld by a thorny stem. They also have crimson coloration and voluminous mouths. They can only be encountered in [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|Bramble Scramble]], a level in [[Bright Savannah]].

Unlike the similar-looking [[Venus Trap Platform]]s, which, dangerous as they are, may prove to be helpful, carnivorous plants are completely malevolent.<ref>"These angry fellows are much like the tooth-toting carnivorous plants that sport platforms at their base. The main difference here is that these hungry plants do not help you access routes or gain entry to secret areas. They pretty much just want to devour your entire body whole." &ndash; ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide</ref> Their leaf crowns are ornamental and do not serve any other purpose. They pop from bramble pits and, while facing the sky, crunch the air continuously, waiting for the [[Kong]]s to drop between their jaws. This can injure the characters and take away one heart from their health counter. Nevertheless, the Kongs are able bounce on the plant safely, though without inflicting damage, when it briefly closes its mouth. Carnivorous plants can be defeated using three [[Roll Attack|roll attacks]], three [[Cane Bounce]]s, or a projectile, such as a [[Tuff Tuck]] or a [[barrel]].

[[Chomp (Donkey Kong Country series)|Chomps]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' look and behave similarly. However, even though they attack in one place, Chomps are admittedly more aggressive, as they attempt to snatch their prey by dashing forward, instead of being completely sedentary like the carnivorous plants from ''Tropical Freeze''.
