Dark Bramble
The fog-filled remains of a planet overgrown by space-bending vines, home of the anglerfish and the Nomai Vessel.
Dark Bramble is the imploded remains of a fifth planet in Outer Wilds, long since overrun by a space-bending plant: a huge glowing seed wrapped in fog, with vines reaching out to frozen fragments of the old water world's crust. It is the only place in the system with hostile wildlife, the anglerfish.

Background
Inside, Dark Bramble is far bigger than it looks: eight enormous zero-gravity nodes full of vines and thick fog, linked by seeds that act as portals. Large seeds can take a ship; small ones only a Scout. Entering a seed drops the traveller into the next node at a set speed and direction, and going back out through a node's entrance returns them to the outside of the planet. The glowing seeds are the main guides through the fog. The Nomai Vessel was trapped here after its warp, and the crew of Escape Pod 3 died inside it.
The anglerfish hunt by sound, so drift quietly past them.
