Dexivine

Dexivines are enemies from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Long, vine-like tentacles, they appear in the Forbidden Woods and the Wind Temple. They rise from the ground when they sense Link approaching and proceed to lunge at him when he passes by. They are quite strong and difficult to escape once ensnared. Once they manage to grab Link with their three-parted mandibles, the Dexivines will proceed to leech on his Magic energy until he can break free. Dexivines can easily be cut with Link's sword and many other weapons in his inventory, but they will regrow within a matter of seconds. This can lead to speculations whether they can regenerate on their own, or are part of a larger, submerged organism.

Etymology
Dexivines were never officially named, but have come to be dubbed "Dexivines" by fans. This name is based on Dexihands, slightly similar enemies from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Despite this name however, they more closely resemble Tailpasarans from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Wind Waker variation of Floormasters.
