Interstellar Desk Plant

Tactics

 * The plant's fruit will disappear if left for too long (~30 seconds).  This, combined with the delayed spawn time, makes the plant much more suitable for tanks or melee characters (or other builds relying on close-range on-kill effects) than hit-and-run characters.
 * Aside from the above tip, the 8 HP per plant and +3 for each stack of the item is underpowered considering how quickly that becomes a negligible amount of health and that it has to be manually picked up.  Consider the, whose health boost (and stack) is larger, spawns instantly from a defeated enemy and seeks out the character over at least a full screen.

Unlock
To unlock it go to the dry lake and use CHEF to cook any crabs you find, / must be the attack that kills the Sand Crab.

Trivia

 * This item may be a reference the Ender's Game sequel Speaker for the Dead, in which trees grow from the bodies of creatures on Lusitania.
 * The item appears in the game's sequel "Risk of Rain 2" on the multiplayer loading screen. It appears next to the console on the desk.

Bugs

 * The plant seems to spawn either randomly or sometimes far from the body of the enemy that presumably triggered it.
 * In the shipping details, it says "caracasses" instead of carcasses.
