The '''Blastcap''' is a creature native to [[Tallon IV]]. Blastcaps are weeds that often grow in small clusters and will rattle in warning when anything approaches. The fungal cap, which is filled with toxins, will detonate if [[Samus Aran|Samus]] comes in contact with it, or if she fires upon it repeatedly. The resulting explosion and venomous fumes will cause damage. Even the flesh of the weed itself is poisonous, keeping it from being eaten by indigenous lifeforms.

The Blastcap is a creature native to Tallon IV. Blastcaps are weeds that often grow in small clusters and will rattle in warning when anything approaches. The fungal cap, which is filled with toxins, will detonate if Samus comes in contact with it, or if she fires upon it repeatedly. The resulting explosion and venomous fumes will cause damage. Even the flesh of the weed itself is poisonous, keeping it from being eaten by indigenous lifeforms.

Blastcaps vary in size and thrive in moist areas like Tallon Overworld, but are versatile enough to survive in drier conditions like those of Chozo Ruins.

Blastcaps are also found on Alinos and Arcterra. The logbook entry states that they are native to Tallon IV, implying that someone had brought them to the Alimbic System. The reason for this transportation is unknown.
