蛾冻,也被称为“死亡飞蛾冻”、“皇后蛾冻”或“蜂王浆”,是在后室发现的一种物质。
描述
蛾冻是一种营养丰富的果冻状腹部分泌物,由雌性死亡之蛾产生,用于喂养幼蛾并维持其巢。蛾冻通常呈紫色,稠度与蜂蜜相似,但略薄。蛾冻中含有强大的信息素,能吸引雄性死亡之蛾,使它们在食用时进入一种入迷状态并对它上瘾,使它们完全服从特定巢群的女王,并愿意做女王希望做的任何事来换取更多蛾冻。
蛾冻被描述为特别甜,尝起来像蓝莓,回味时留有有薰衣草和玫瑰的味道。
当然,蛾冻的主要来源是雌性死亡之蛾,雌性死亡之蛾的高度攻击性也使获取蛾冻成为一种危险且威胁生命的尝试,但蛾冻的营养特性使其值得冒险。
蛾冻可以在死亡之蛾众多的任何Level找到。虽然很少见,但装在瓶子和罐子里的蛾子果冻却随处可见,即使在找不到死亡之蛾的地方也是如此。通常贴有"Property of Royal Jelly Farms™"的标签并搭配紫色王冠标志。
属性
蛾冻营养丰富,富含蛋白质、营养素和天然糖,能让食用者更持久地保持饱腹感,并能显著增强体力、能量和耐力。
它还有一个有趣的副作用,因为它会吸引雄性死亡之蛾并坚定地保护食用蛾冻的人,并导致雌性完全忽略他们,直到食用后大约五分钟后,效果才会消失。个体可以利用这一优势,在不受伤害的情况下,从雌性死亡之蛾身上取回更多的蛾冻。
尽管蛾冻有很多优点,但它极易使人上瘾,超过推荐的每日剂量会导致食用者极度上瘾并渴望食用更多,甚至愿意冒着生命危险直接去死亡飞蛾的巢寻找蛾冻。过度进食的副作用还包括视力模糊、兴奋感和无法控制的咯咯笑。甚至有关于食用过多导致突变的案例,那些摄入过量的人很可能会转化为野生的人类/死亡之蛾杂合体,通常被称为Weremoths,并且这种转化很可能是永久性的。
Usage
The exceptional nutritional value and flavorful taste of Moth Jelly makes it a very valuable resource in the Backrooms. One cup of Moth Jelly having enough nutrients to nourish a Wanderer for the entire day and it's considered to be a trump card in any barter as it can be used to trade for almost anything.
Moth Jelly can even be used offensively via the construction of "Jelly Bombs" by combining one jar of Moth Jelly with a pipe bomb. Upon detonation, a Jelly Bomb will cover those in it's blast radius with jelly, slowing them down as well as attracting all Deathmoths in proximity to devour them alive.
Moth Jelly can also be used as a central ingredient to cook a variety of different dishes, mostly desserts which can bestow unique effects upon consumption depending on the dish in question.
