A glow sap from Pikmin 4.
Glow sap is a nectar-like substance produced by Lumiknolls. A Lumiknoll will produce one glow sap after being active for one night. Yonny can synthesize a glow sap into a medicine capable of curing Leaflings by using DNA from a "non-leafified" individual of the same species.
Consuming an unsynthesized 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 shown to be spitted out an Onion unchanged; Yonny suggests that as long as glow sap is present within the system, it destroys leaves before they can sprout.
Since Luminknolls can only produce one portion, glow sap is a finite resource. There is exactly enough glow sap available to cure every leafling (excluding the Sage Leaf).
Trivia
- Although Oatchi can be cured using a glow sap mixed with viable cell samples from 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 Koppaites (Yorke, Nelle and 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.
- Consuming glow sap can help species like Hocotatians have more tollerance to oxygen.
- Olimar's notes on the Smoky Progg suggest that when a Mamuta absorbs a glow sap, it dramatically affects their reproduction, causing their eggs to mutate in a Smoky Progg.[1]
