Tiger Plant

Template:Infobox:Fauna Flora The Spike Plant is a life form belonging to the flora category. It is commonly found in rocky areas of the Grassy Plateaus and its caves. It is agressive to the player and creatures and active during day and night.

Appearance

The Spike Plant consists of small clusters of red-orange, padded tendrils with several green-yellow spikes protruding from them. Its surface is also covered with a line pattern.

Behavior

When the Spike Plant has a line of sight on a target within 15 meters, it triggers the attack animation and launches a small cluster of spikes at the apex of the animation.

Each arm launches a spike aimed towards the target, although not with perfect precision. The spikes fly through the water instantaneously, leaving a visible trail. When a spike hits something live, it does puncture damage . It doesn’t damage other Spike Plants of any kind.

The damage dealt is small but can add up quickly. It is encouraged to freeze the plant using a Stasis Rifle whenever scavenging the ocean floor in the vicinity of a Spike Plant. Spike Plants do not attack the player is using the Seamoth submarine.

A 3D model of the Spike Plant can be found on Sketchfab.
