The Planula is a boss item in Risk of Rain 2, dropped by the Grandparent GrandparentGrandparentGrandparent

Whenever the holder takes damage, they immediately heal 15 HP (+15 HP per stack), making it extremely useful against monsters that attack with rapid, low-damage hits.

Notes[]

  • Damage-over-time debuffs, fall damage and self-inflicted damage trigger the heal.
    • Damage taken from Void Fog, however, does not.
  • Planula's healing is applied if the incoming hit does not ignore armor and before taking damage. As such it may prevent the holder from dying. However, this also means that the player will also not be at full health after the hit. (See Receiving Damage for more details for the order of events).

  • While written to sound humorously confusing, this item's logbook entry suggests that the Parent species has a similar life cycle to that of stars; they start out normal-sized, expand into giants over time, and then collapse into smaller versions, which are the oldest. This may also explain why the species glows brightly, and why Grandparents have a "sunlight" attack.
