Bubble Fruit



The Bubble Fruit, referred to in-code as the WaterNut, is a small, blue fruit commonly seen next to bodies of water. When first found, Bubble Fruit function as inert projectiles, functionally identical to rubbish. They can be thrown long distances or placed into stomach for later use.

Shortly after touching a body of water, Bubble Fruit will 'pop', making a popping sound and expanding into a clear, gelatinous bubble. The 'popping' animation will eject the fruit out of Slugcat's hands if the fruit was being held. A 'popped' Bubble Fruit can no longer be thrown as a weapon and instead can be consumed for 1 food pip (1/4 of a food pip as the Hunter). When held in water, popped Bubble Fruit can increase Slugcat's buoyancy.
