Karma Flower

Karma Flowers, or Wheel Flowers, are yellow flowers which can be found growing at specific locations throughout regions. When consumed, a ring will appear around the player's karma symbol. Upon the player's next death, the the ring will be removed & they will not lose a karma level. A karma flower will then also spawn at the location of the player's last death. This always happens when playing Monk. Karma flowers are autoconsumed during hibernation when stored in a shelter. Eating multiple Karma Flowers does not stack the effect. They are visible on the map as a pulsing red crossed circle.

If the player attempts to starve while under the effects of the Karma flower the protection will disappear permanently.

Karma flowers do not spawn for Hunter. When Hunter permanently dies, a karma flower is set to repeatedly spawn in that location for existing Monk and Survivor runs on the save file.

Trivia

 * Hitting a karma flower with a spear counts as "consuming it" and will remove it for future cycles.
 * Scavengers sometimes grab the Karma flowers if they pass nearby, this can happen offscreen.
