Drooping Stingers: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 02:22, 21 January 2016

Template:Infobox:Fauna Flora The Drooping Stinger 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 (very low on Health). They can also damage the Seamoth on contact.

Appearance

The Drooping Stingers resembles a real life cnidarian, with its entire body made of gelatinous, translucent substances, giving off a bright violet bioluminescent glow.

Its main body sports an umbrela-like base from which drops out a long, single, spiral-shaped tendril downwards.

Data Bank Entry

Zero photosynthetic cells detected. Implies carnivorous adaptation to low-light environments.
Follicles along the tentacles 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 officially announced on the Subnautica website. The concept art was done by Cory Strader.
It is mentioned on the PDA that it uses electrical charges offensively/defensively, instead of using venomous stingers - a trait shared by many real life cnidarians.
