Etymology and Anatomy

Moonpod gets its name from the portmanteau of “Moon” and Pod. Their shape looks like the “blue” colored moon of Coda. Moonpods contain dust inside them and when their pods burst open, the dust-spores are released in the form of a stagnated mist.

Moonpods are pale-blue in color. They have a large bulb attached to a narrow stem. They usually are fixed to the ground and do not sway or move around. They can have various sizes, but their pods are shaped like a spheroid. They have a faint bluish glow near the base of each pod.

Narrative Involvement

Moonpod Lagoon is a district in the Academy Ruins Subregion. Although, it is not really a lagoon, as of 468 LV, it is filled with moonpods. Moonpod Lagoon is the setting of Tessi the Tesilar children’s book.

Tessi the Tesilar is the beloved children's tale about a tesilar who has a hard time controlling her electric-zaps. The story also includes her friends who live around Moonpod Lagoon. Tessi was so surprised to see Kori the Korox in the lagoon that she had to calm her zaps before she and Grabbit ran up to him. "Hi, Kori," Tessi said. "You're watering my moonpods." "Yes," Kori said. "I was thinking about you, Tessi. You're my friend and I wanted to do something nice for you. So, I'm watering your moonpods." Grabbit frowned. "But they are already in water. This is a lagoon." "It's the thought that counts, Grabbit," Tessi said. "And I like Kori's thoughts." — From Tessi the Tesilar
