Necrolei Cyst

 | Property | Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Category** | Raw Materials | | **Biome** | Necrolei Hills |   ![Necrolei Cyst](Necrolei Cyst.png)   The **Necrolei Cyst** is a harvestable polyp and the source of [[Necrolei Bud]]s.   ## Appearance Necrolei Cysts have a simple, round body with green flesh that sits atop six long and slender stilt-like legs. The top of the orb has small pink blisters unevenly distributed around it.   ## Uses Use a [[Survival Multitool]] to harvest the Necrolei Buds for acid production.   ## Databank-**Source:** Scan a Necrolei Cyst+> **Necrolei Cyst**+>+> 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*  -> DATABANK ENTRY COMING SOON-  ## Gallery-![Necrolei Cysts with Necrolei Bud intact](Stilt Orb with cysts.png)+![Necrolei Cysts with Necrolei Bud intact](Necrolei Cyst with cysts.png) *Necrolei Cysts with Necrolei Bud intact*  -![Necrolei Cysts with Necrolei Bud harvested](Stilt Orb Harvested.png)+![Necrolei Cysts with Necrolei Bud harvested](Necrolei Cyst Harvested.png) *Necrolei Cysts with Necrolei Bud harvested*  -![Bright stalks at night make them stand out](Stilt Orb night.png)+![Bright stalks at night make them stand out](Necrolei Cyst night.png) *Bright stalks at night make them stand out*
