Osseus Pumice

The Osseus species grows a single thick stalk from which emerges a wide, broadly circular, pitted endoskeleton. This structure is designed to dramatically increase the surface area of the organism, facilitating chemical capture and chemosynthesis on its catalytically active surface.

— In-Game Description

Osseus is a genus of alien organism found on planets and moons with thin atmospheres across the galaxy. They can be sampled with the Genetic Sampler and scanned with the Short Range Composition Scanner. They have a clonal colony range of 800m.

Description

Ossei are named after their bony skeleton. They are easy to confuse with round rocks and typically look like giant mushrooms from afar. Recognizable with Night Vision from 300m.[1]

Types

There are six known morpho-types of Osseus with differing base values:
