A sweet, blue-colored fruit that grows on trees near the inn, serving as a primary food source for Erin and the Goblins.
A round, slightly fuzzy blue fruit that grows on ten-foot-tall trees featuring incredibly thin but tough grey trunks and large green leaves. The toxic seed core, if compromised, leaks deadly poison that causes frothing-mouth death within an hour. The poison also causes the fruit's flesh to rapidly decompose, making it actively wet and juicy. The inner seed core of the fruit is highly toxic and causes a painful death within hours if consumed, but the outer rind is safe to eat. Safe fruits have perfectly intact seed cores, while contaminated ones exhibit hairline cracks inside. The fruit has sweet, cool, and refreshing juice, but contains a pulpy mess inside its seed core that smells terrible and is highly poisonous.
Erin discovers these growing on thin, tough trees and manages to acquire one by kicking the tree in frustration.
Erin discovers that while the outer fruit is sweet and edible, the seed core contains a noxious fluid. She uses the toxic seed to repel a rock crab, and the goblins later forage for the fruit.
Erin gathers and eats them to stay hydrated, carefully saving their seed cores for potential use.
Erin peels and pulps a pile of these fruits, mixing them with water to create a sweet, chunky juice to accompany her meal.
Erin discovers that compromised seed cores leak a deadly poison into the fruit, making the flesh actively juicy and mushy, which nearly kills her and forces her to change her survival strategy.
Erin feeds the blue fruit to Pisces, who explains its deadly toxicity, but he is surprised to learn Erin knows how to safely eat around the inner seed core.
Erin eats several of these, noting their sweet taste before throwing up, and examines the highly poisonous seed core.
Pisces requests an Amentus beverage, which Erin refers to as 'blue juice'.
