Like its vines, Lickigela's tongue will be replaced by a new one within 24 hours if severed. A severed tongue flops and wriggles for several seconds afterward, a sight many consider unnerving.
Its vines snap off easily and painlessly if they are grabbed, allowing it to make a quick getaway. Whenever it sees something unfamiliar, it always licks the object because it memorizes things by texture and taste.
