blood pool

Gore on floor

A blood pool is a collection of blood that has gathered on a surface, typically from a wound or injury.

The term appears frequently in crime scenes, horror fiction, and medical contexts.

In video games, blood pools often appear beneath defeated enemies as visual feedback.

The image suggests violence or death: Detective Chen photographed the blood pool near the victim's head.
