rdfs:comment
  • Torvus Bearerpods are a genus of plant found in the Torvus Bog area of planet Aether. The plants are large, bulbous pods that when destroyed, release a toxic gas that gradually disperses. They may also leave energy or ammunition behind. Caution is advised when raiding them for items. They could be seen as an equivalent to the Blastcap, another species that grows near and even in water and releases corrosive fumes when attacked.
  • The Torvus Bearerpod is an Aether plantform engineered by the Luminoth to be an organic storage unit during their war with the Ing. It is suited for the brackish environment of the Torvus Bog, and like the Agon Bearerpod, it contains useful items within it.

Name
  • Torvus Bearerpod
Text
  • The Torvus Bearerpod grows around useful items. The hard outer shell can be destroyed by weapon fire. The Luminoth use the hardy plants to store supplies for operations in the Torvus Bog. They are resistant to the harsh chemicals and diseases that run rampant in the swamp, and emit a deadly cloud when destroyed. This has discouraged their consumption by local animals.
Weakness
  • All weapons-fire
Distinctions
  • Releases caustic cloud when destroyed
temp
  • Field cache for Luminoth military.
  • Morphology: Torvus Hanging Pod
  • Designed to hold crucial munitions and supplies for Luminoth warriors. Some may still contain useful items left over from the war.

abstract
  • The Torvus Bearerpod is an Aether plantform engineered by the Luminoth to be an organic storage unit during their war with the Ing. It is suited for the brackish environment of the Torvus Bog, and like the Agon Bearerpod, it contains useful items within it. The Torvus Bearerpod has a robust build, with rough bonelike growths on its sides and several branches on top, which are curled in a way resembling the "hair" of a Warrior Ing. Its environment is home to various toxins, which it feeds on to produce a lethal gas within itself. The toxic nature of the Bearerpod deters other creatures from eating it, keeping the plant and its contents safe. When something tries to crack the pod open, the poison gas it produces bursts out, in a similar manner to a ruptured Puffer or Preed. The gas cloud disperses after a few seconds, allowing one to loot the pod's contents.
