A Machine With Xenochromatic Ball Octopus Abilities?

Sometimes you may see these strange ecological research devices on land. Perhaps because Transoceanic Sourcewater has identified the power of Fontemer Aberrants, after interacting with them, you can use the power of the Xenochromatic Ball Octopus within a certain range even when on land.

Trivia

• It is said that Xenochromatic Creatures are ocean spirits who "bestow blessings upon those accepted by the Fontemer" and those who can "control it." This is considered "groundless speculation" by "those that have a deeper understanding of natural philosophy."
• Xenochromatic Creatures are considered opponents by the game, as hitting them triggers Baizhu's second constellation, Incisive Discernment.
