A stalk in the infested blightlands on the outer surface of Trove.

Stalks are a type of biological structure grown in areas of high Flood infestation. Their precise functions to the parasite are unknown, though they seem to consist of larger growths on which several blisters are grown. When disturbed, the blisters on the stalk explode and release various infection forms—predominantly spore clouds and pod infectors.[1]
