Gabe's Feather

The Gabe's Feather is a flora species found mainly in the Blood Kelp Zone. The Gabe's Feather Seed can be obtained by using a knife.

Each plant has 120 HP and can therefore be slashed 6 times with a knife before being destroyed. One slash grants 1 seed, while the last slash, destroying the plant, nets an additional seventh seed. They can then be planted in an Alien Containment or an Exterior Growbed. It takes 1200 seconds (20 minutes) for a fully mature plant to grow from a seed.

The Gabe's Feather is purely meant for decoration and has no purpose or use in crafting.

Appearance

The Gabe's Feather features a bioluminescent cyan, feather-like branch with jagged tips growing out from its reddish brown stem. The Feathers are bioluminescent and have dark brown vein-like lines all over them.

Data Bank Entry

This plant grows almost exclusively in deeper waters, where its hand-like leaves have evolved to filter sediment from the environment. It is likely dependent on the excretions of fauna populating the waters above and around it.

Trivia

• Gabe's Feather was named after Valve Corporation president Gabe Newell due to the plant having two large fronds and an underdeveloped third frond. This is a reference to both the Half Life and Portal series' only having two entries and never receiving a third entry despite massive fan demand.
• The Gabe's Feather greatly resembles certain species of the real life sea pens.
