Drooping Stingers

The Drooping Stinger is a life form belonging to the flora category, which spawns mainly in caves, where they are attached to the ceiling.

It can also be found hanging in the south west Kelp Forest blocking small cave openings.

It is highly recommended not to touch/get close to the stingers, as they can severely harm the player, capable of dealing near fatal injuries (very low on Health). They can also damage the Seamoth on contact.
