Oh I also call them Briars when I’m not being adversely effected by them.
“Hello there little briar, almost didn’t see you. Thanks for not whipping me today”.
…I talk to my digital plants
Briars are what we call Bramble here in Ireland. Dunno if its commonly used elsewhere (though I’m sure it’d be same name in UK) and the internet tells me it should be spelt Brier.
I call them Snap Dragons (when not cursing them). The real plant is not a menace, it’s just the name that I like. It seems to describe our NMS plant perfectly.

I’ve just been taking pics on each planet as I come by them. Didn’t take long at all.
Transfering from PS4 to USB to PC to uploading them here is what takes time

Like the poly version.
I’ve had a chuckle at some of the names. Seems the names are as varied as the plants.
Glad you like the topic
Double Whammy. I changed the time of day in the 2nd pic to highlight the balls of venom/poison that these things spew (notice bottom left of left Snappie). And look at the barbs! No wonder they hurt!
I might be putting forward a very unpopular opinion here, but i will anyway…
I feel that, with the game’s difficulty level being what it is (I can’t recall dying more than once in the last 750+ hours of gameplay I’ve put in) that these whippersnappers should come in more than one variety. And along with that, yet another crafting item too.
Some plants, of course, should remain as they are - for variety’s sake - but many more should also be poisonous. A slap from one of those should bring up a POISONED meter, that will eventually kill you unless you craft an antidote. Think similar to being poisoned in the old Resident Evil games, where you had to craft certain herbs together to cure it.
It’d make you less likely to get too close and add another random factor into your survival.
I feel that, along with those plants that some animal attacks (maybe from crabs/spiders etc) should be poisonous too. What better fun and fear it’d be, being chased down by a giant animal that is going to not only give you a right biffing up, but leave you with a bloodstream that wants to kill you too.
Just trying to add a little more danger into the proceedings is all…
You’re not too far from the truth there, hence the caveat of #notallsnappies
Serious question though, IF Hello Games put in poisonous Snappies, would it better to have them environmentally poisonous, or randomly poisonous, regardless of biome ?
Biome relevant would be more realistic, but I fear it’d put me off those planets, unless I had no choice.
