Drooping Stingers

Template:Infobox:Fauna Flora The Drooping Stingers is a life form belonging to the flora category, which spawns mainly in caves, where they are attached to the ceiling.

It can also be found hanging in the south west Kelp Forest blocking small cave openings.

It is highly recommended not to touch/get close to the stingers, as they can severely harm the player, capable of dealing near fatal injuries. They can also damage the Seamoth on contact.
