Despite their morbid appearance, the "Blood Bubbles" possess a deep, iron-rich sweetness, often compared to a concentrated pomegranate nectar with a savory finish. If an unworthy predator approaches, the bubbles burst

The Painter "paints" by allowing the sap to crystallize in the air, creating three-dimensional sculptures that are entirely edible.
