Gooieduck

Gooieducks are common, edible objects found in Subterranean and the Outer Expanse. They hang from thread-like roots from ceilings, and are a bright light blue color.

Food
Gooieducks are a useful and abundant food source. When eaten, they fill 2 food pips, but the has to chew through its hard exterior first, which creates an audible sound and may alert creatures to the Slugcat's presence. The total animation time for eating one is about the same as eating two edible items that would fill only one pip, suggesting that this longer time is used to give eating a Gooieduck the same opportunity cost for time taken to eat as less filling food.

Gooieducks will repel for a short time, allowing the Slugcat to pass through smaller patches safely as long as they hold onto it.
