Alpine Roots are large root plants and a food source forSnowHorns inStar Fox Adventures. They grow from the ground in bothSnowHorn Wastes andDarkIce Mines. However, the SnowHorns are incapable of digging out Alpine Roots by themselves, butTricky can unearth them with theFind Command.
Appearance
Alpine Roots are large, beetroot-shaped yellow plants with dark, horizontal stripes running along their surface. They have two leaves on top, which indicates their location when buried underground.
History
Alpine Roots first appear at the very start of SnowHorn Wastes, around the andFox must feed them to a SnowHorn, who otherwise refuses talking to them from being hungry. Each Alpine Root is located under a dirt patch near the walls of the area. Fox can only feed each Alpine Root individually. By feeding the first Alpine Root to the SnowHorn, he rewards Fox with aMedium Scarab Bag. By feeding him the second Alpine Root, the SnowHorn stomps on the ground, which causes the nearby geyser to stop and theice block to fall onto the ground.
Later, in DarkIce Mines, Fox must feed another two Alpine Roots to a SnowHorn after rescuing him from twoSharpClaws. When Fox feeds him the Alpine Roots, the SnowHorn allows Fox to ride on him.
After acquiring theDinosaur Horn, Fox can use it from aHorn Pad to summon a SnowHorn and ride it through an area struck by a blizzard. There are numerous Alpine Roots appearing on the trail, which the SnowHorn must eat to keep its energy while going through the blizzard.
