Template:Infobox:Fauna Flora The Spike Plant is commonly found in Grassy Plateaus and Caves. It is agressive to players and creatures and active during day and night.

When it detects a target nearby, it plays attack animation and shoots a small cluster of spikes at the apex of the animation. Each one originates from the end of each arm and aims towards the target (with a little random variance on the end point it flies towards).

The spikes fly through the water instantaneously, leaving a visible trail like lerk spikes. If it hits anything (other than itself), it stops.

When spike hits something live, it does Puncture damage [1]. It doesn’t damage other Spike Plant 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 near the Spike Plant vicinity. Spike Plants do not attack when the player is using the Seamoth submarine.
