Here, take some plants before Phase 3 (Space or click) Frondomedusus ciervobocinus Alias: Antlered Leafystalk Niche: Oxygenator Desc: The Antlered Leafystalk, as the name may suggest, is named after the two leaves atop its bulb, which look like, well, a deer's antlers. They have lost their venomous spines, the tentacles instead ending in three small leaves. These leaves, however, taste bitter and are mildly poisonous if ingested; the "antlers" at the top are much safer to eat. These plants, unlike their ancestors, have moved away from consuming plankton and chemicals, and instead are able to conduct photosynthesis, thanks to their large leaves. Life Cycle: This plant has a very similar reproduction method to the Stingerstalk - its bulb breaks off and soon disintegrates to spread seeds. An Antlered Leafystalk seedling (as well as an adult with a recently lost bulb) grows its "antlers" almost immediately, although these antlers do not branch off much, if at all, looking similar to the short antlers of a spike deer. These "antlers" will begin growing just before the plant reaches maturity at around 2 years of age, and will continue to grow until either the bulb breaks off, or the plant dies. These plants can live for up to 5.5 years. - Frondomedusus caerulabacca Alias: Bluefruit Leafystalk Niche: Oxygenator Desc: The smallest of the Stingerstalk's descendants so far, the Bluefruit Leafystalk usually grows only to 50 cm in height (although, some extremely large specimens have been seen at around 55cm). Oddly enough, this plant has fewer and rather stiff tentacles, like the branches of a tree, but more flexible. On these branch-like tentacles, alongside small groups of leaves (Which, unlike the Antlered Leafystalk, are not poisonous), small, spherical, blue fruits, which is where it gets its name. These fruits taste rather sweet, sometimes even a few days before they ripen. The bulb is much smaller than that of its relatives'. Life Cycle: Unlike its relatives, the Bluefruit grows its seeds inside its fruit, relying on animals to eat said fruit to spread its seeds. Bluefruits do not begin to grow their fruit until they reach maturity at 1 year, and can live for 3.5 years. - G. a. amplus Alias: Giant Stingerstalk Niche: Producer Desc: Quite a bit larger than its relative, the Giant StingerStalk grows up to 150 cm tall. It has one large spine at the end of each tentacle instead of two smaller ones, and its venom is notably more effective, able to severely weaken, and occasionally even kill small creatures. This plant has longer tentacles than its relatives, catching more plankton to help sustain its larger size. It additionally has several, much smaller tentacles - which lack spines and are virtually defenseless - on the sides and top of the bulb, which is more easily broken than its smaller relatives. Life Cycle: Basically identical to the regular Stingerstalk's. The bulb will break off, disintegrate to dispense seeds, and said bulb will grow back. However, the Giant Stingerstalk's bulb grows back faster, usually taking only 4 months to regrow. These plants live for about 3.2 years.
