{{Smallspoiler|* [[Degasi Seabases]]

{{Spoilersection|Drooping Stingers can also be seen hanging from the ceiling of the [[Degasi Seabases|Degasi Seabase]] in the [[Jellyshroom Cave]].}}

It is highly recommended not to touch/get close to the stingers as they can severely harm the player, temporarily obscuring their vision with a green haze and dealing near-fatal injuries. Running into one will deal 50 damage over 3 seconds and speed up the decline in [[Food & Water|nutrition]], similar to the effect of [[Gas Pod]]s released by [[Gasopod]]s. The damage will heal back rapidly after a short time.

They can also damage the [[Seamoth]], dealing 25 damage over 5 seconds on contact, which will slowly heal back. If the Seamoth is brought below 50 health by a Drooping Stinger, it will explode.

Drooping Stingers can be moved using the [[Propulsion Cannon]]. Be cautious, however, as they can still cause damage while tractored.

==Appearance==
Despite being classified as flora, the Drooping Stinger resembles a real-life [[wikipedia:Cnidaria|cnidarian]], an animal phylum with its entire body made of gelatinous, translucent substances which emit a bright violet [[Bioluminescence|bioluminescent]] glow.

Its main body sports an umbrella-like base from which drops out a long, single, spiral-shaped tendril downwards. Multiple smaller tendrils hang off of the base.

1. Zero photosynthetic cells detected. Implies carnivorous adaptation to low-light environments.

2. Follicles along the tentacles are capable of detecting contact with foreign bodies, triggering an electromagnetic charge in the 600-watt range. Prey is likely paralyzed and consumed over many weeks.

Prey: Small fish

Assessment: Avoid

==Trivia==
* The Drooping Stingers were originally planned to produce sound. <ref>https://trello.com/c/GJOTVhoj/66-l3-creepy-caves-hanging-stinger-sounds ''Dated Nov 18, 2014.''</ref>
* It is mentioned on the PDA that it uses electrical charges offensively/defensively, instead of using venomous stingers. Despite this, the damage effect from it is green.
