Gasopod

Template:Class 2 Fauna The Gasopod is a fairly large defensive herbivorous life form belonging to the fauna category. It can be found in the Safe Shallows slowly cruising through the water.

The Gasopod is able to damage the player by releasing its green, acidic gas pods from its tail. These can be used as ammunition for the Propulsion Cannon.

Gas Pods can be harvested if the Player is quick enough to harvest them before they explode. These can be used to craft Seamoth Gas Torpedos.

A slow-moving lifeform capable of filling the water with a poisonous and corrosive compound capable of dissolving even synthetic fibers.

Filtration System:
Multiple gill layers appear to render this creature impervious to the noxious clouds it produces.
Algae Gland:
A bulbous, sack-like appendage on the rear end. A luminescent yellow algae grows inside the sack and produces the poisonous compound. Abdominal muscles contract when the creature is stimulated, causing the algae gland to emit the noxious compound into the surrounding water.
Large Pelvic Fins:
Capable of powerful movement through the water when moving in small herds.

Gasopods appear to be social in nature, and may even use their emissions in their relationship rituals.

Assessment: Use caution
