Bloodroot

Bloodroot (or frutadenoches hemoterra) is a plant that grows in blacjoc deposits on Darness.
==Info==
Bloodroots are peculiar plants, with spongy, ruddy red root tubers made of starch and a crimson-colored liquid used to hold oxygen for later release. The liquid contains much of the same substances as real blood does, like plasma, hemoglobin, and life force, making it an effective blood substitute in surgery and for hemovorous creatures.
Every month for one week, bloodroots produce golden cup-shaped flowers full of the blood-like liquid normally found in their roots. The liquid attracts flies and other insects, which land on the petals of the flower, slip off the oily petals, fall into the blood, and quickly drown. Once the week is over, the bloodroot sucks the blood back into its tubers and digests the nutrient-filled liquid.
The tubers are edible raw, if very rancid in taste, but are very tasty when cooked properly. Sometimes, they are cut into chips or fries and served as a crunchy, blood-filled snack. The flowers can also be pressed to extract the bloodroot oil, which is commonly used in local cuisine.
It is in the same genus as the splüklouine (frutadenoches jakolater).
==Trivia==
*They react very mildly to the effects of shadow ooze, since bloodroots have grown around the stuff for millennia and have gotten used to it. An overdose causes the tubers to turn dark blue and the blood to become the navy color of crustacean blood, but other than that nothing changes.
