The Creepvine is the primary flora of the Arctic Kelp Forest.
Appearance
The species possesses a long yellow stalk that anchors it to the seabed. From the stalk, many long, wavy leaves grow and share the yellow colouration of the stalk. Its seed pods emit a constant bioluminescent pink glow.
Description
The species is identical in shape to the Creepvine of The Crater, with the only difference being that the leaves and stalk are yellow in color, while the seed pods that hang from the plant are red.
Use
After harvesting one or many of its Creepvine Seed Clusters, it will produce more one-at-a-time after roughly 1/3rd of a day. When cultivated in an Exterior Growbed, it can be struck 5 times with a Survival Knife to harvest Creepvine Sample, destroying the plant on the fifth strike and all potential Clusters with it.
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 base material for fabrication of textiles, as well as a basic foodstuff.
