Creepvine (Subnautica)

Creepvine is a life form belonging to the flora category. It is the main type of flora of the Kelp Forests. By knifing them, the player can acquire Creepvine Samples, which are vital ingredients for making First Aid Kits.

Appearance
Creepvines are towering, green, kelp-like plants. They attach to the seabed, with some reaching the water's surface.

The central stipe is surrounded by smaller kelp blades. These blades increase in size and density the closer they are to the surface.

Some Creepvines feature Creepvine Seed Clusters about halfway up the stalk, which emit a yellow bioluminescent glow.

Planting
Creepvines can be grown by the player via the Exterior Growbed or double stacked Alien Containment. Both Creepvine Seed Clusters and Creepvine Samples can be planted to grow mature plants.

While planted, Creepvine Seed Clusters produce large Creepvines that have seeds, while Creepvine Samples only grow to be a long, thin, seedless Creepvines.
