The Painter uses these bushes as a natural palette. By carefully harvesting the bubbles without triggering their explosive defense, the artist can manipulate the sap's viscosity.
The bushes are defensive; the bubbles act as sensory mines. If an unworthy predator approaches, the bubbles burst with enough force to shatter bone, coating the attacker in a sticky, pheromone-heavy liquid that attracts larger predators. The Painter’s Technique
This segment of Toriko features the Gourmet World's "Painter," an artist who uses the vibrant, dangerous flora of the ecosystem to create living masterpieces.
Harvesting from these bushes requires a Capture Level of at least 400, as the surrounding environment is prone to "Gourmet Weather" that can turn the sap into lethal projectiles.
