The conditions in this cave may support a microcosm of unique, possibly predatory lifeforms. Try to counter unanticipated threats by anticipating them.

The Jelly Shroom Caves is a large cavernous system found deep below the Grassy Plateaus, Kelp Forest, and Safe Shallows The entrances to this area are usually found as honeycomb crevices on the seabed.

Description

The Jelly Shroom Caves are characterized by a dense population of huge translucent, purple Jellyshrooms, along with cavern structures, such as stalactites and stalagmites.

The cave system has two predatorial species, and two passive species. The most notable of these are the Crabsnakes residing in Jellyshrooms, and the Oculus, both of which are found only in this biome.

A signal can be used to show the cave system entrances.

An abandoned seabase made by the survivors of the Degasi can also be found in the Jelly Shroom Caves.

Trivia

• The abundance of Stalactites suggests that these caverns were dry-standing for several million years, only later being flooded presumably when the ceiling collapsed due to erosion - this might explain why its native ecosystem is so uniquely different from all bordering biomes.
