Iridescent prismatic crystal
This would require a prismatic crystal with internal fractures or thin-film layers that cause light interference, such as a prismatic quartz crystal with internal 'rainbow' fracture planes.

Palmate silhouettes require radiating primary veins to support divergent segments, which is physically incompatible with the non-convergent, longitudinal nature of parallel venation.

Some large-fruited necked varieties, particularly in the C. moschata group, develop deep furrows at the bulbous base that extend into the neck.

Requires a high-pressure expulsion mechanism to overcome fluid drag, potentially using internal gas-to-liquid phase change for rapid acceleration.

Undulation on land is only efficient in semi-solid, high-viscosity media like mud or silt where the medium provides support.

Would require a low-mass gas body where the hydrogen-helium envelope is so diffuse that it fails to form significant cloud decks, leaving a clear, faint sphere.
