Vinebacker

Vinebacker
The Vinebacker is a enemy in Xibalba. It is a hulking monster that seems to be a large ape with a face and part of its body covered in moss and vines.

Once the player either damages or enters the radius, the Vinebacker will roar, and strike the ground. A fissure of what appears to be small plants will erupt and travel towards the player, with a limited amount of "tracking" or changing trajectory to find the player. Strafing one direction or the other can easily avoid this attack. Getting too close to the Vinebacker will result in a direct, powerful physical attack.

The Vinebacker has the third largest health pool in the game, with 3 shots from the Shotgun, one from the Rocket Launcher, and a good deal of firing from the Rapid Laser.
