Tiger Plant: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 01:25, 12 February 2016

Template:Infobox:Fauna Flora The Tiger Plant is an aggressive life form belonging to the flora category. It is commonly found in rocky areas of the Grassy Plateaus and its caves, active during both day and night.

Currently, the Tiger Plant can be harvested for its seeds, by cutting one with a knife.

Appearance

The Tiger Plant resembles real life sponges , featuring a cluster of red, tendril-shaped stalks with green spikes protruding from it. Its surface is also covered with a dark brown stripe pattern.

Behavior

When the Tiger Plant has a line of sight of a nearby target, usually being the player, it will trigger the attack animation and launch its spikes.

Each stalk launches a semi-homing spike aimed towards the target. The spikes fly through the water with high velocity, leaving a visible trail.

The damage dealt is insignificant but adds up rather quickly. It is encouraged to freeze Tiger Plants using the Stasis Rifle whenever scavenging the ocean floor within their vicinity.

It is noteworthy that Tiger Plants do not attack the player if they are in the Seamoth.

Data Bank Entry

This plant has adapted to sense fluctuations in the water at up to 15m, and is capable both of prehensile movement of its tubes, as well as the propelling of thorns at speeds of up to 10m/s.

Although capable of incapacitating small herbivores, this plant lacks carnivorous digestive organs. Would-be predators caught in its defensive perimeter serve as a warning to other herbivores not to approach; and then as they decompose they serve as fertilizer for the Tiger Plant.

Assessment: Avoid or incapacitate
