Deep Reef
Initial moult of the living headquarters

Role
The Deep Reef is the first moult of the Reef, unlocking the Aerie, the Sinker moult at the Lasher Warren, and all three Bloat upgrades. It does not unlock burrowing, which remains at the plain Reef, and it is required before the Great Reef. Grow it when you want air units, Sinkers, or Bloat transport.
