Gnarly

Gnarly
This mutation turns the player's legs into rough tree trunks, allowing them to create a ring of bramble where they stand, trapping one enemy in place for a short period. The enemy cannot move or rotate, but can still perform any attacks that don't require moving. It is useful for controlling fast enemies, such as Sabertusks or Muteens. Gnarly is compatible with Beast Mode.

Overgrowth
Gnarly can be upgraded to Gnarly Overgrowth, which increases the number of enemies the player can trap at a time to 3.

Tumbleweed
Gnarly can be upgraded to Gnarly Tumbleweed, which contains trapped enemies in a ball of bramble that can be kicked around by the player.
