A classic trope usually seen within the Fantasy genre, the Hedge has both a literal and metaphorical purpose within any story that features it. Physically, it is a place of painful passage, thorns and brambles, that acts as a hazard for the main character(s) as they try to either pass it, or escape it. More often than not, it is connected to fairies or some other mysterious group of creatures, as the trope is linked to the idea of a natural barrier to some greater prize (or terrible horror). Fantasy-wise, the Hedge usually appears within Enchanted Forests, and may serve as a strange and hostile biome in its own right. However, sometimes the Hedge is conjured by a fairy, witch, or other magic-user as a barrier around a specific place, and thus can appear anywhere the summoner demands. Also, the thorns tend to quickly eat whatever dies or lets its guard down within it. The Hedge is most often a home for various forms of life, whether carnivorous or not. Sometimes it's a kingdom in-and-of itself, being ruled by an Evil Overlord, Sorceress, Bandit King or similar character. Outside of the previously stated genre, the Hedge can be a torturously difficult labyrinth made from plants and fungi, or a hideaway for smaller characters against the Big Bad. Metaphorically, however, the Hedge of Thorns can stand for something that tears at the psyche as well as the body of anyone who tries to get through it (fairies often are linked to madness). It also acts as a test of character, since it can stand between the Hero(ine) and the Bright Castle that holds what (s)he seeks. Usually the ordeal of the Hedge, as previously stated, is one of mental endurance and brinking on insanity, since it questions one's principles and bravery, as well as capability to adapt to the harshness of the reality that exists within the Hedge. Note: the Hedge can also be a catch-all term for lands belonging to the Fae. |

Guild Wars 2 has the Heart of Maguuma, a jungle overrun with the barbed vines of Mordremoth. Just breaching the first ring of the Heart sees the Pact all but shattered, a major hero dead, and three more missing in action. And it's even more harrowing for Sylvari players as the entire time they're suffering Mind Rape from the Dragon. | |

Donkey Kong Country Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest has a few levels set entirely in brambles. They really do act as a test of character, because they're all really freakin' difficult. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze has two bramble levels: One in Lost Mangroves and another in Bright Savannah. Cranky Kong's pogo cane lets him bounce off the thorns safely. |

The Simpsons has the Eliminator, featured in the Season 8 episode "The Secret War of Lisa Simpson". It serves as a final test for the cadets of the military school, and consists in a rope suspended several feet over a thick bush of thorn-filled brambles. All cadets (including Bart and Lisa) must go through it. | |

Serina: The cactaiga, a biome that develops during the glaciation of the Ultimocene, consists of a dense growth of cactus-like sunflower descendants that covers a good quarter or so of the world's sole remaining habitable continent. They endure the powerful winds of their environment, which can snap trees like toothpicks, by growing in an interlocking mass of plants all mutually supporting each other. This makes the cactaiga very difficult to live in, as the whole thing consists of a solid mass of slashing spines and vicious thorns, with virtually no open space between individual plants. Most of the area's megafauna goes extinct once the cactaiga forms, as it literally squeezes out both edible plants and animal populations; this only changes with the arrival of the thorngrazers, who can chew their way through the plants using their massive tooth plates and keratinized spikes that defend their faces from the thorns, and which literally eat their way through the mass to create open spaces and paths that allow other plants and animals to find shelter from the ice age storms within the resulting maze of thorn-walled pocket environments. Following the Great Thaw, however, the warmer environment proves too much for the cactaiga and it dies out save for holdouts in Serina's harshest environments. | |

Tales Series Tales of Hearts: The legend central to the story is a fairy tale about a sleeping princess in a forest of thorns. However, the twist is that it is not, in fact, a literal hedge. the Forest of Thorns is a codename used to identify an ancient control unit known as the Mysticete. It also happens to be the Flying Whale worshiped by the church and the place where Lithia's physical body has been preserved in stasis, since it's a remnant of a very advanced alien civilization that was destroyed 2,000 years before the game's time. Tales of Arise: Shionne is afflicted with the "Curse of Thorns", that manifests as thorny vines and inflicts great pain to whoever touches her. This curse left her a pariah, and as a result she became cold and aloof, almost a literal "rose with thorns". An actual hedge of thorns appears when Shionne gets a huge Heroic BSoD and is subsequently captured by Vholran. When the party tries to rescue her, the Thorns manifest around the entire hall she's being held in, forcing the party to cut their way through them. The hedge disappears once Alphen manages to break Shionne out of her despair. |

The various vines and branches of the hedge move out of the way for the protagonists when they want to enter or leave, a curtesy granted by Hyperion and Leilusa, the pantheon's deities (and the protagonists bosses) who enchanted it. | |

Total Drama: "That's Off the Chain!": Izzy steers her bike through a wall of thornbushes. It doesn't wipe the smile off her face, but Leshawna, her co-rider, is less amused. The chipmunk they picked up along the way loses all its fur from being cut by the sharp branches. "The Treasure Island of Doctor McLean": The trail from the swamp to the clearing where Sam and Gwen are to be found is blocked by a thornbush forest. There is no way through it, but Dakotazoid clears a path by clocking a mutant alligator through the bushes. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Spike Growth is a 2nd level spell that creates an area of difficult terrain which causes damage to anyone who moves through it. In the 5th Edition, black and green dragons cause plant life to warp into moss-hung tangles of knotted vines, slashing thorns and choking brambles in the vicinity of their lairs, which they respectively make within dense forests and deep swamps. The effect only fades after the dragon has been killed or driven off. One of the first evil-infested locales ever described for a D&D adventure, the Caves of Chaos, encompasses a rocky ravine approachable through a briar-choked forest of forbidding thorny tangles. |

The Satanic Rites of Dracula found a novel way of polishing off the Count: luring him into a tangled hawthorn thicket. Hawthorn being (at least according to Van Helsing) what Christ's crown of thorns was made from, the spiky branches prove as effective as holy water would've been. | |

The Ancient Magus' Bride: Elias Ainsworth is nicknamed "Thorn Magus" or "Child of Thorns" for a good reason. A black hedge of thorns often appears around him when he casts his spells, and while sometimes it's just a cosmetic effect, he can also send these thorny brambles to attack his foes. | |

Tales of Arise: Shionne is afflicted with the "Curse of Thorns", that manifests as thorny vines and inflicts great pain to whoever touches her. This curse left her a pariah, and as a result she became cold and aloof, almost a literal "rose with thorns". An actual hedge of thorns appears when Shionne gets a huge Heroic BSoD and is subsequently captured by Vholran. When the party tries to rescue her, the Thorns manifest around the entire hall she's being held in, forcing the party to cut their way through them. The hedge disappears once Alphen manages to break Shionne out of her despair. | |

Tales of Hearts: The legend central to the story is a fairy tale about a sleeping princess in a forest of thorns. However, the twist is that it is not, in fact, a literal hedge. the Forest of Thorns is a codename used to identify an ancient control unit known as the Mysticete. It also happens to be the Flying Whale worshiped by the church and the place where Lithia's physical body has been preserved in stasis, since it's a remnant of a very advanced alien civilization that was destroyed 2,000 years before the game's time. | |

My Little Pony 'n Friends: In "Would-Be Dragonslayer", when the heroes find a castle surrounded by an impassable wall of thorny vines, they immediately think of the usual reasons this trope shows up in fairytales and heroically charge through to rescue the princess trapped behind it. As it turns out, the princess is getting married to a knight and her fairy godmother raised the hedge to keep trouble away. | |

Changeling: The Lost: The Hedge, which is the border between the "real world" and the fae world of Arcadia (not in any way to be confused with the trope of the same name). There are actual thorns and a wide variety of other dangerous features, including living creatures, and it's generally an unhealthy place to be. Oh, and getting dragged through those thorns as a human rips your soul to pieces, which you then (possibly) only gather together once you escape from Arcadia. There's other ones in the rest of the New World of Darkness, like the one that surrounds the Whispering Wood (a Circus of Fear that slowly mutates people in ways symbolically connected to their sins). |

Brain Dead 13: A hedge of thorns forms a giant maze, and can be deadly. In one death scene, if Lance goes the wrong way, he accidentally runs into the thorny hedge and comes back out as a skeleton; in another, if he goes through the wrong gate and is trapped, a tentacle vine grabs him while he tries to get out and pulls him into the hedge. | |

In Rapunzel the Prince is blinded as he falls on it, in Iron Stove the Princess must go past hers to save her prince and it turns out to be an illusion, in Briar Rose the thorns and vines catch anyone but later split when the destined Prince arrives, etc. | |

Kingdom Hearts: Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep: Maleficent creates her hedge of thorns around the castle bridge where they block off the exit during Aqua and the prince's battle with her. The thorn forest reappears in Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-, Maleficent's thorn hedge is nearly all that's left of Enchanted Dominion now that it's been pulled into the Realm of Darkness and fallen prey to The Heartless. Kingdom Hearts: Maleficent recreates her thorn hedge on a much smaller scale in a tower in Hollow Bastion, where it's possible to run up some of the thorny vines to avoid some of her dragon form's attacks. Kingdom Hearts II: Maleficent fills Disney Castle's Hall of the Cornerstone with thorns as the start of her attempt to corrupt the place with darkness. |

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption features the Thorn Jungle zone in planet Bryyo. The Space Pirates installed one of the sources of the defense barrier protecting the Leviathan Seed in this region, requiring Samus to storm the area in order to disable said source. The local flora is uniquely colored with shades of pink and orange, and several overgrown roots can be seen along the way. Late in the game, it's possible to connect this area with that of the Cliffside, and doing so is part of the process to obtain one of the Energy Cells of eventual use in GFS Valhalla. | |
