'''Glow sap''' is a nectar-like substance produced by [[Lumiknoll]]s. A Lumiknoll will produce one glow sap after being active for one night. [[Yonny]] can synthesize a glow sap unit into a medicine capable of curing [[Leafling]]s by using DNA from a "non-leafified" individual of the same species.

Consuming raw glow sap can lead to negative side effects and isn't capable of curing a Leafling. However, it also acts as a preventative against conversion into one, as shown by [[Yorke]] and [[Nelle]], who are deposited into an [[Onion]] and remain unchanged; Yonny suggests that as long as glow sap is present within the system, it destroys leaves before they can sprout.

Since Lumiknolls can only produce one portion each, glow sap is a finite resource. There is exactly enough glow sap available to cure every Leafling (excluding the [[Sage Leaf]], who chooses to go uncured anyways).

== Trivia ==
*Although [[Oatchi]] can be cured using a glow sap mixed with [[Gift of Friendship|viable cell samples]] from [[Ancient Sirehound|another, non-leafified space-dog]], glow sap has zero effect on [[Moss]]. This is likely because she was born as a Leafling and thus technically has nothing to cure.
*[[Yonny]] suggests that the reaction to ingesting glow sap differs from person to person. This is likely why the [[Koppai|Koppaites]] ([[Yorke]], [[Nelle]], [[Don Bergman]]) and [[Louie]] seem to enjoy it, with Louie describing it as "yummy" and "warm and fuzzy", while [[Dingo]] becomes sick with a high temperature after consumption.
*Consumption of large amounts of glow sap appears to increase one's oxygen tolerance.{{cite quote|Do you have time to discuss glow sap? I'm curious how it affects those who drink large quantities of the substance. Even someone who has no tolerance for oxygen, like that Hocotatian, can suddenly tolerate the gas in small amounts.|Yonny|the Rescue Command Post}}
*Olimar's notes on the [[Smoky Progg]] suggest that when a [[Mamuta]] absorbs glow sap, it dramatically affects their reproduction, causing the egg yolk to mutate into a Smoky Progg.{{cite quote|However, by examining the genes adhered to the Smoky Progg's eggs, it has been confirmed that they are, in fact, Mamuta eggs! This discovery allows for the possibility that Mamuta that do not develop properly and hatch become Smoky Proggs. If, hypothetically, a Mamuta were to remain aboveground at night and absorb glow sap, that might impact the nutrient levels within its egg's yolk. That change could lead to the embryo's inviability or break down its enzymes, then...|[[Olimar]]|his [[Olimar's Notes|notes]] about the [[Smoky Progg]]}}
