IDENTIFICATION:

Obdulucus pontivea resembles a fleshy black climbing vine or borrowing root supported by the retention of pressurized bioluminescent fluid. (Typically ranging from cyan to teal) If no bioluminescence is visible form the outside, Obdulucus pontivea may be differentiated from ██████ ████ by testing the rigidity of the flesh from 3-4 meters away with a prodding implement.

Pontivea is differentiated from similar Obdulucus species by its "bridging" behavior. When the species detects the pressure of climbing fauna along its vines, it will slowly adjust its shape to form a hardened flat platform.
