Sponge Wood

Spongewood is an endangered type of tree that naturally absorbs goo.

When the Gummy Invasion first began, Mother Nature tried to halt it by genetically mutating a certain species of tree to become dependent on goo for prolonged survival, absorbing it and breaking it down into nutrient. However, this was short-lived as the Gummy Empire realised the trees were sucking up their goo and ordered the destruction of every single Spongewood tree that existed. Almost all of them were cut down by the Gummy Empire but the fledgling Wrench Confederatio, then known as the Wrench Confederate saves a few tree and stored them in a large underground greenhouse. They Used the Spingewood trees wood to craft wrenches that naturally absorbed goo, how ever they did not use these in the Great Goo wars as they were too scared that Gummy Empire would find and destroy the Spongewood garden. Currently the Gummy Empire has forgotten about the Spongewood, thinking they were extinct, but Wrench Confederation still makes goo-absorbing wrenches to this day.

The most special thing about the anti-goo wrenches, besides the fact that they absorb goo, but that they’re actually alive. An anti-goo wrench is still alive when carved from the tree, though as it doesnt have leaves means that it depends completely on absorbed goo, and if the wood dies the wrench will no longer absorb goo. When the anti-goo Wrench absorbs so much goo that it cannot store the access goo, it will still convert the goo to nutrients but expel it in the form of a starch-and-sugar green substance that can be Eaten by most organisms. It is used as a last-resort food for the Wrench Infantry Division or as a little snack for some squadrons. When not in war with Gummy Empire, they will dip the wrench in a bucket of goo imported by Gummy Empire(yes they import goo in world truces(albeit with a sworn agreement that the goo will not be used for anything against the Gummy Empire). In the presence of a Gummy Bee, it will absorb the gummy bee into nothing. However for a gummified bee or soldier it will absorb the goo off the guy, ungummyfying them.

RBC Empire has gotten imports of Spongewood from Wrench Confederation, they have mass-produced them in giant plantations(at least As confirmed by RBC themselves) but they cannot be seen from space due to being hidden by a cloaking device(What the other Nations think anyway).
