Bloodvine

Bloodvines are a flora species that dominate the Blood Kelp Zone. An oily substance called Blood Oil can be harvested from their stems.

Appearance
Bloodvines are very tall and thin, emitting a bright bioluminescent white glow. It grows on the seabed, attached to an extensive root system. The central stalk or stipe is surrounded by bare kelp blades but the top-most ones have many smaller protrusions. At its very top, there is a small mouth-like opening.

Blood Oil can be found on the ground or nearby its stems, and can be used for farming to grow Bloodvines in an Exterior Growbed or double-stacked Alien Containments.

Trivia

 * Art Director Cory Strader stated in an interview with RockPaperShotgun that the opening atop the Bloodvine was originally intended to be a mouth, and that the Bloodvine would use this mouth to consume small fish it caught in its tendrils. Whether this is still a canonical feature of the Bloodvine is unknown.
