The Bloom Parasite is a mobile parasitic organism associated with the Bloom — the Proteavirus beta infection spreading through Proteus's biomes via Bloom Canker nodes. It infects other fauna (notably Epicureans) making them significantly more aggressive and dangerous. The Bloom Parasite itself is catalogued on the official wiki as a mobile organism. Biome data indicates association with Blighted Coral zones. Detailed PDA entry not yet fully documented in EA 1.0.
Where to Find
Notes
Hazard: Infects and empowers other fauna — parasitized Epicureans are significantly more dangerous.
Tips:
- If you see a parasitized creature (erratic movement, visual Bloom effect), retreat — these variants deal significantly more damage.
- [sonic-resonator] and [feedback-resonator] can destroy Bloom Cankers that spread the parasite — clearing cankers in an area reduces parasite activity.
