Spore Puff



Spore Puffs, sometimes called Smoke Bombs or gas apples/onions, are an object which can only be uniquely found in Farm Arrays, usually in underground or indoor rooms. They are pale grey balls with green patches and a smoking fuse. These spore-like objects can be used different ways.

Rain Deer feeding
Spore Puffs are mainly used to attract Rain Deers, their usage being almost a requirement in order to progress through Farm Arrays. Throwing a Spore Puff will cause nearby Rain Deer to head towards that point, emitting a shrill shrieking sound. When close, Rain Deer will descend, and lower their heads to eat any Spore Puffs which are on the ground, or have been dropped. This gives the player the opportunity to jump and ride on their antlers, which is useful for crossing the fields of Worm Grass in Farm Arrays. Throwing a Spore Puff in the opposite direction of travel while riding Rain Deer will cause them to go to the spot it landed, however they might change the direction again after reaching the spot, making this strategy nonviable most of the time.

Toxic spores
The gas released by a thrown Spore Puff deals considerable and usually lethal damage to arthropod creatures. The more a creature gets covered by the spores, the more damage they take. This is mostly only useful against larger centipedes since most other creatures affected by the spores have very low HP and die instantly to the slightest contact with them. It is possible to instantly kill smaller sized centipedes with a single Spore Puff, however, the larger ones are harder to kill due to their higher HP and require a more precise throw in order to cover enough of their long bodies and deal enough damage to them. This is easier to do when they are curled up or standing still. The creatures affected by the spores include:
 * Batflies
 * Bees from Beehives
 * Centipedes (any size)
 * Centiwings
 * Red Centipedes
 * Dropwigs
 * Eggbugs
 * Noodleflies
 * Coalescipedes
 * Big Spiders
 * Spitter Spiders
 * Squidcadas
 * Bugs

Beehive collection
Spore Puffs can be used to pacify beehives, allowing them to be picked up and carried without activating in order to be used as a weapon later. They will also kill all active bees and neutralize hives that are part of the way through activation.

Trivia

 * Looks to the Moon notes that Spore Puffs are the flowering bodies of a fungus, which eventually burst to release their spores.
