The '''Sprite bulb''' is a floating, blue plant-based slime. It aids its allies in battle by curing wounds much like the [[Healslime]], only it does so by spreading a peculiar pollen instead of with magic. The friendly foliage can't easily control how the pollen spreads, however, and will accidentally heal adventurers as well.
