Grub Pods don't directly represent a threat to you, but their frequency makes them a common sight, as you'll need to waste quite a bit of ammo on them throughout the game. Grub Pods are numerous and can be found almost anywhere after and especially on the Hydroponics Deck. Eggs produce a unique sound, which one witness in the original exploration team described as "music". However, they are also a source of annelid tissue, which can be researched and used by the soldier for beneficial effects. In addition, they erupt violently when approached too closely by entities not part of the Many, showering the area with their harmful contents. They are apparently unsuited for life aboard starships and need to be tended lest they die prematurely. Grub Eggs are large, waist-high, flesh-colored spherical pods that hold Grubs.Įggs are birthed from a special site within the Many's biomass containing large polyps with huge vertical orifices, where they are created from consumed biological matter, usually humans, both alive and dead.
