Krynoid Creeper Vine

Thick, choking tendrils of alien vegetation burst through walls and floors in the facility’s corridor, their glossy green stems pulsing with an unnatural life. The vines writhe like serpents, their barbed tips scraping against metal surfaces as they advance, blocking secondary routes and sealing off sections. Henderson reports their rapid spread, forcing the Doctor and Sarah to step carefully over snaking coils that threaten to pin them in place.
