Brain Coral

The Purple Brain Coral is a type of life form belonging to the coral category. It produces bubbles refilling 10 units of oxygen.

It is found in many biomes, namely the Safe Shallows and their caves. The fact that the Purple Brain Coral spawns in caves is very helpful and in some cases life-saving, as it spawns about three oxygen bubbles at a time, filling up the player's oxygen level by a total of 30 points.

Purple Brain Corals spawn bubbles day and night. If attacked by the player with a Survival Knife, the Purple Brain Coral will turn white after some hits and stop producing bubbles. While this suggests that the Purple Brain Coral is dead, it will continue to pulse.

Appearance
The Purple Brain Coral has a purple, hemispheric body. The bubbles are released from the circular protrusions with green holes in them that cover the body of the Purple Brain Coral.

Data Bank Entry
