Dense Biozone

"Whoever said plant life needs access to sunlight has obviously never visited Hoxxes. This region is dominated by what can best be described as a subterranean rainforest - masses of writhing, (mostly carnivorous) plant life, producing entire microcosms of life deep within the crust of the planet. Tread with care."

- Ingame description

Dense Biozone is one of the biomes of Hoxxes IV. Dense Biozone is a large and remote habitat, housing many different and unique species of plants and creatures. It features extremely large and twisting cave coral filled rooms. The walls are covered with small green blossoms which glow in the dark, emitting a small amount of light. The rock making up the caves is durable, taking two hits for it to give way.

Hazards
The biome-specific hazards for Dense Biozone are tall ejector cacti, which shoot out spiked projectiles in multiple directions at once, and small, spheroid cave urchins which can be found primarily on the ground. Both hazards deal damage to the Player and other Creatures. If proper caution is taken, these hazards can be destroyed safely.

Dense Biozone also has white Explosive Plants, which explode violently when sufficiently damaged. These explosions are able to trigger other nearby plants, which can then cause a deadly chain-reaction. These plants can also be found in Glacial Strata in the same white color and can also be found in a red color in Fungus Bogs and Magma Core.

It will occasionally rain, reducing the brightness of flares and other light sources.

Enemies
Most enemies can be encountered in Dense Biozone, including Spitball Infectors, Cave Leeches, and Glyphid Dreadnoughts. Naedocyte Shockers are exclusive to Dense Biozone and Glacial Strata.

Biome Features
houses several different types of vegetation, such as various grasses growing on the floors and Elevator Plants, along with the hazardous Ejector Cacti mentioned above.

Ores
As with every biome, some of the Ores that can be found in Dense Biozone are determined by the mission type, such as Morkite and Aquarq. The crafting materials found in Dense Biozone are Bismor and  Umanite, with Bismor being abundant and Umanite being scarce.
