Kraken Blood Weed

This mottled black and green seaweed has jagged, tooth-like fronds, which ooze a reddish-green sap. The sap causes painful blisters and rashes, if a character touches the weed with bare flesh. Vigorous washing with cold, fresh water or milk can ease these symptoms. In rare cases, eating the weed can lead to death.
