Meat chunk

Red meat is a cell-stage food, often identified by a red, partially-eaten circle of meat. There are two large ways to obtain the Red meat:

1. Roadkill: Swim around until it pops in front of you. 2. Carnivore: Swim around until a creature pops in front of you, kill it, and eat the chunks that pop out.

Red meat is eaten by carnivores and omnivores with non-proboscis mouths. Herbivores and proboscis-using omnivores can only eat seaweed and suck the life out of other creatures. Eating a lot of red meat will give you the carnivore trait, and eating a balanced diet of seaweed and meat chunks, will give you the Omnivore trait.

When killing a creature using poison, it will simply roll over, belly-up, and no meat will pop up. However, physical damaging like impaling or biting will obtain several meat chunks. Prey-sized creatures normally don't (in my experience), Peer-sized creatures drop mediocre amounts (1-3), and Predator/Epic creatures drop anywhere from one chunk to five.
