Creepvine (Subnautica)

The Creepvine is a Life Form belonging to the Flora category. They are the main type of flora in the Kelp Forest Biome. By cutting them with a Survival Knife, the player can acquire a Creepvine Sample. Some Creepvines have Creepvine Seed Clusters on them that can be collected from the stem by hand.

Appearance
Creepvines are tall green kelp-like plants. They attach to the seabed and some will almost reach the water's surface. The central stalk or stipe is surrounded by small kelp blades. These blades increase in size and density near the surface. Some Creepvines also have a collection of bioluminescent Creepvine Seed Clusters about halfway up the stipe.

Planting
Creepvines can be grown by through the player via the Farming Tray. Both Creepvine Seed Clusters and Creepvine Samples can be planted to grow mature Creepvines. While Creepvine Seed Clusters will produce large Creepvines that have more Creepvine seeds, if a Creepvine Sample is planted it will produces a long, thin, seedless Creepvine.

Data Bank Entry
A kelp species concentrated in large forests, in shallow, sandy waters. Loose roots anchor the plant to the sea floor, from where it grows steadily toward the surface in pursuit of sunlight.

The stem is fibrous and rich in iron, making it both a viable food stuff, and base material for fabrication of textiles such as rope and bandages.
