Shade Region (Abyssal Caverns)

Information
The Shade region is a dark area, with plants glowing with the theme of dark purple.

Wildlife
Most creatures down here seem to go insane from the plants when they eat them, often attacking each other. Most creatures avoid this area, such as Deerhorse, and even Wendigoa. For some reason, some creatures stay here, such as the Nocturnical, or the Phantaspera. Some creatures are used to the plants, and it has been found that unaware herbivores and omnivores have been eating fallen Shadefruit- which have high levels of Elemedium- or have been eating the ferns, which also have high levels of Elemedium.

Nature
There is several different plants unique to the region, including a plant that is hard to grow outside of these caves.

Shadefruit
Shadefruit are often year-round, which provide moderate amounts of collected vitamins from unknown sources and have just a little bit of elemedium (for bioluminescence) in them. Most times, the Shadefruit trees have strangely purple leaves and have quite the dark wood. Shadefruit, if consumed, are known to just make most drowsy, while sometimes the Shadefruit has a liquid that could make some go psychotic for a short amount of time by just consuming it, but these cases are rare and the fruits are often tainted by unknown means- most likely near spoiling or too old. Those that make it out with a lot of Shadefruit might sell the fruit to laboratories that are doing projects on medical science.

The vines the Shadefruit grows on currently serve no purpose.

Shade Fern
Shade ferns are dangerous to consume, because of the high amounts of Elemedium in them. It is not recommended to consume the leaves, or even the stem, at all.

Shade Mushroom
The mushroom is even more poisonous than the fern, having a dangerous amount of Elemedium. Barely anything should eat it at all, unless resistant to that much Elemedium, which it isn't exactly worth it either to eat it.

Area-exclusive
For some reason, some subspecies decide to reside in this biome within the caverns. (Work in progress)

Trivia/Notes

 * The Shade region was the first region to be completed in the Abyssal Caverns.
 * It was planned to have some abnormal infection down here, but it would've been way too similar to the hellish infection that already exists on the surface.
