The top of the orb has small pink blisters unevenly distributed around it.   ## Harvesting   [Necrolei Bud](Necrolei_Bud)s that grow on top of the Necrolei Cyst can be harvested by using the [Survival Multitool](Survival_Multitool).   After a while they will regrow, allowing to be harvested again.   Necrolei Cysts can be grown inside of a [Growbed](Growbed).   ## Databank Entry   > **Polyp stage of the *Anthobrachia necrolei* jelly's lifecycle. A source of strong acid.** > > Either a juvenile necrolei, or a mature jelly that has rejuvenated into its larval form. There is no apparent limit on the number of times a necrolei can return to cyst form. The organism may be biologically immortal, like Earth's *Turritopsis dohrnii*. > > The interior of a cyst is more acidic than a vulture's stomach. Hydrochloric acid protects the cyst from attack while it strobilates: budding off flowerlike clones. These buds (or medusae) swim in the current in search of rich decay. The cyst is both the beginning and end of the necrolei's life cycle. > > The buds inherit hydrochloric acid from their cyst clone-parents, making them a convenient and renewable-if dangerous-source of strong acid. > > **Assessment:** collect necrolei buds to process into strong acid. The necrolei converts ecosystem death into useful industrial products. Consider the alignment of self-interests which made this miracle possible.  -*Source: Scan a Necrolei Cyst*+*Source: Scan a [Necrolei Cyst](Necrolei_Cyst)*   ## Gallery   ![Necrolei Cysts with Necrolei Bud intact.](Necrolei_Cyst_with_buds.png)-*Necrolei Cysts with Necrolei Bud intact.*-  ![Necrolei Cysts with Necrolei Bud harvested.](Necrolei_Cyst_Harvested.png)-*Necrolei Cysts with Necrolei Bud harvested.*- -![Bioluminescence at night.](Necrolei_Cyst_night.png)-*Bioluminescence at night.*+![Bioluminescence at night.](Necrolei_Cyst_night.png)
