Zone Designation: CANDY GROVE

Code: ZN-CG-02
Zone Type: Resinous Biosphere
Status: Stable
Threat: Class I (PASSIVE)
Classification: CLEARED FOR PUBLIC ACCESS

Zone Overview

A shimmering, toxic garden of candy-glass flora. The air is hallucinogenic. Plants lure and absorb travelers.

Featuring hyper-sucrose plant biomes; crystalline flora; and sticky overgrowth conditions; the Grove's ecosystem is self-sustaining, with diverse plant life and small fauna adapted to the unique environment. It is designated as a low-risk area and is currently open for public habitation for designated citizens operating under Bureau-issued permits.

Hazards

• Hallucinogenic Atmosphere: Volatile pollen blooms induce vivid sensory drift in unprotected travelers. Bureau-issued filter masks are mandatory beyond Permit Tier II.
• Carnivorous Plants: Sucrose-laced bloomtraps and root-tongues will engulf small fauna and unanchored equipment within minutes. Tether all field gear.

Notable Locations

• The Sugarpane Cathedral
• The Drip Hollow
• Lullaby Reach
• The Boiled Field

Associated Logic Types

Entities born from Candy Grove's ecosystem are often classified as "Resinous" logic types, exhibiting traits of both organic and crystalline structures. They are known for their slow, methodical behavior and their ability to manipulate their environment by secreting a sticky, resin-like substance that can trap other entities or create new growths. These logic types are generally non-aggressive but can become dangerous if provoked or if their habitat is threatened.

Additional Notes

The Grove's flora is suspected to communicate via infrasonic root-pulse. Field agents have reported hearing faint, melodic patterns — colloquially termed "lullabies" — in the moments preceding documented sleep paralysis events. Citizens experiencing recurrent auditory phenomena should report to the nearest Sighting Submission Terminal.
