Living Algae

Living Algae is extremely similar to ordinary sea algae, and it is nearly impossible even for experts to tell the two apart even at a distance. Like ordinary seaborne algae, living algae is a leafy plant that floats in large colonies on the surface of the waves with the aid of air bladders. It has a brownish green color and a coarse texture. It is able to drink seawater and absorb sunlight, and provides a food source and shelter to many pelagic fishes.
Unlike ordinary sea algae however, living algae has an agressive streak. Living algae uses mimicry to appear as normal algae and has a limited intelligence which it uses to kill living creatures and trap them in its tangle of algae vines for nutrients. Living algae allows fish to nibble on and shelter in it, but occasionally uses its mass as a limb to trap and kill fish to eat. When colonies of living algae grow large enough, they begin to seek out larger prey. Such colonies may crawl onto the beach or reach onto the decks of smaller ships to attack people. In this state, the living algae takes a stout, amorphous, bipedal shape and attempts to knock unconscious and drag living beings back into the water with it. For this reason, it is wise to treat large brown algae blooms with caution.
