'''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.
'''Glow sap''' is a nectar-like substance in {{p4}} that is generated by [[Lumiknoll]]s. All Lumiknolls at the end of a [[night expedition]] will produce one glow sap each. [[Yonny]] can synthesize glow sap into medicine that can be used to cure [[Leafling]]s, at a rate of one glow sap per cure.


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.
Glow sap can be consumed raw, although it can have negative side effects. Even raw, it still acts as a preventative against Leafling conversion, as shown by the three [[Koppaites]], who are explicitly shown to be immune to conversion even when directly deposited into an [[Onion]]; Yonny suggests that so long as glow sap is present within the system, it wilts and destroys leaves before they can sprout, effectively preventing the transformation.


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).
Lumiknolls that have already produced glow sap in a past night expedition will not produce more glow sap if the expedition is repeated, leaving glow sap as a finite resource. There is exactly enough glow sap available to cure every Leafling after completing every night expedition.

*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.
*The medicine is created by combining glow sap with DNA from a "non-leafified" individual. The DNA must be from the same relative species as the Leafling to be cured; while DNA from the [[Rescue Corps]] is enough to cure all humanoid Leaflings, it fails to cure an infected [[Oatchi]] until the glow sap is mixed with [[Gift of Friendship|viable cell samples]] from [[Ancient Sirehound|another, non-leafified space-dog.]] It also notably has zero effect on [[Moss]], 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.
*[[Louie]] describes the taste of glow sap as "yummy," and notes that he feels "warm and fuzzy" after ingesting it. The [[Koppai|Koppaites]] ([[Yorke]], [[Nelle]] and [[Don Bergman]]) also seem to enjoy the sap, using it in lieu of [[juice]] to survive on PNF-404. [[Dingo]], however, becomes sick with a high temperature when consuming it. [[Yonny]] suggests that the reaction to glow sap differs when ingested from person to person.
*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}}
*Glow sap is known to dramatically affect the reproduction of [[Mamuta]]s. Olimar's notes on the [[Smoky Progg]] suggest that a Mamuta absorbing glow sap prior to laying an egg causes the egg yolk to mutate into a Smoky Progg.
*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]]}}
