[edit] Description
As their name suggests, Sap Sacs are vines bearing large sacs filled with a bright orange sap that is very sweet, making them a staple of the diet of many creatures on Tallon IV. To avoid extinction, the plantform has evolved a curious defense; whenever a sac is compromised, it explodes violently. Destroying one will yield Energy for Samus to pick up. It has an aquatic relative known as the Aqua Sac.
[edit] Exploitation
Sap Sacs are useful tools in certain situations for causing instant death to surrounding creatures, much like an "explosive oil drum" seen present in many popular shooters. In most cases, a Bloodflower will grow near to one, providing an easy way to dispatch a tricky enemy. Just shoot the Sap Sacs when any particular creature happens to wander a little too close. These cause Bloodflowers to burst into flames.
