Inspiration, the giant snakelike tree-vines in old vid game

 Flashback on the Amiga… see al82 retrogaming longplay. 

I want to use descriptions or pictures of those giant vine things. Describe as “looks like the unmoving body of a giant green snake, twisting and turning…. But completely still” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNTnRM77XuE

Also see SHADOW OF THE BEAST, 1989 on Amiga. Music great. But beginning, text description / story parts are great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9BltSvKMlQ

• * idea for entering a tree giant tree with insect theme. Plus maybe some fire salamanders ot things in wall shooting at you.
• Giant snails slugs. Eyestalks on walls. Giant floating eyes bobbing up and down  (puzzle how to pass) . 
• Giant wasps    More dire breathing things (that eat giant  insects)  
• A ghost?
• Giant creepy (bigsby) hands come out of ground to grab you  many  black purple and red, clawed. Make mysterious  .

Here's the original, it has a billion different monsters and cool backgrounds. The animation might be old and clunky, but it has some great visual ideas, too:

Backgrounds look so good. 

The giant hands out of the ground... can do it in D&D with Bigby's Hand, etc. and just change the "look" to this creepy style.
