Favorite Movie: Little Shop of Horrors

Snare is an immensely powerful plant with vicious jaws that make short work of any Troll unlucky enough to get caught in them. Once an enemy is caught in Snare’s inescapable jaws, he is free to fling them away or swallow them whole. Snare can also spit a deadly bile, and cause powerful ground tremors to knock down and damage foes.

Basic Techniques

Bite (RT)
This is Snare’s basic attack, which snatches an enemy so Snare can chew on him, dealing damage (and consuming Snare’s Spirit). 

Spit Baddy (RT after a successful Bite attack)
After Snare grabs an enemy with his jaws, he can spit the enemy out, causing damage to the enemy and anyone he flies into. This attack is great for earning Brutal bonuses – just spit enemies into hazards such as lava, off cliffs, etc.

Root Tremor (LT)
Root Tremor is a ground-based attack that fires in a straight line, knocking down and damaging any enemies in the path of the roots. It can also uncover underground enemies, like Trolls hiding under shells.

Root (LT+RT, Left thumbstick to control head swing)
Activating Root makes Snare immobile. Once activated, use the left thumbstick to swing Snare’s head in any direction, knocking down any enemies hit by his head. (Tip: move the Left thumbstick in circles if you wish to attack everything around you). If  Snare has an enemy (or anything else) in his mouth, move the left thumbstick forward and backward to build momentum, then press the right trigger to hurl the enemy.

Roam (LT+RT)
This deactivates the Root power and allows Snare to move again.

Advanced Techniques

Lockjaw (LT)
This attack basically eats and swallows whatever is in Snare’s mouth. Bite the target, then press the Left trigger to swallow them for a tasty snack and a Brutal bonus.

Toxic Bile (LT+RT to activate Root, then RT)
When rooted to the ground, Snare can spew forth a short range, caustic poison to destroy his enemy. Activate the Root power, then pull and hold the Right Trigger to spew Toxic Bile. Direct the spray with the right thumbstick.

Rootquake (RT)
Rootquake upgrades the Root Tremor power so it fires in four directions (forward, back, left and right) simultaneously and for a greater distance. 

Spirit Up
This increases Snare’s Spirit Bar.
