PDA entry
- Tentatively Rotsac lucifer, the light-bringing rotsac. A tunicate-like animal which ferments decomposing biomatter inside its body.
- 1. Hidden body
- The rotsac's larval swimming body transforms into a spherical adult form. Because fermentation does not require oxygen, the rotsac actually stops breathing as it matures.
- 2. Swollen with hydrocarbons
- The rotsac contains isoprene, useful for fabricating rubber and lubricant. High diacetyl levels give the rotsac a strong caramel funk.
- 3. Bioluminescence
- Glow may attract animals (especially sun-seeking microorganisms) to defecate or die on the rotsac. Bioluminescence seems to play an important role in this world's ecology. Regular experiments with light reactions are advised.
- 4. Symbiote
- Often found glued to the cradle shootroot, an unrelated species of starfish-like bottom-dweller that provides the rotsac with an anchor while it grows.
- Assessment: useful source of organic polymers for rubber and oil.
- Consult your Noetic Advisor to research optimal search areas.
