A Riverfruit chopped in half. (DW: Full Circle)

Riverfruit was the name given to a form of plant life native to the planet Alzarius in E-Space. Riverfruit resembled an Earth watermelon. It appeared to be part of the staple diet of the Alzarians, who apparently farmed it as a crop. They are a dark green colour on the exterior while the interior is dark yellow.

The Alzarians considered riverfruit theft a relatively serious offence. The outlaws led by Varsh stole a number of the fruit from a pile near a river. Adric attempted also to steal some but was spotted and dropped them to leave.

Before and during Mistfall, Alzarian spider eggs appeared within riverfruit. These would rapidly develop until the fruit split open and released the adult spider. (DW: Full Circle)

While aboard the Urbankan mothership, Adric mistook an avocado pear for a small riverfruit. (DW: Four to Doomsday)
