Glow sap: Difference between revisions

'''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 into a medicine capable of curing [[Leafling]]s 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]]).

*[[Yonny]] suggests that the reaction to ingesting glow sap differs from person to person. This is likely why the [[Koppai|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 [[Hocotatian]]s have more tollerance to oxygen.

*Olimar's notes on the [[Smoky Progg]] suggest that when a [[Mamuta]] absorbs glow sap, it dramatically affects their reproduction, causing their eggs to mutate in 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]]}}
