Most known fauna species on Planet 4546B are simultaneous hermaphrodites, meaning that they have a single-sex capable of playing the role of either the male or female in reproduction and every individual being able to lay eggs and fertilize them. As Kharaa has been eliminated from the wild in Below Zero this function is not present. In Subnautica additional scans after unlocking the Data Bank Entry for that particular species of Fauna alert the player as to whether or not the specimen is infected with Kharaa. The player can scan Fauna with the Scanner, the same as they would with Flora and objects, allowing them to view information about the creatures in their PDA. The fact that the appearance of some species of the planet being similar to that of planet Earth species can be explained as a simple case of convergent evolution. Certain species of small fauna can sometimes be seen forming mostly non-interactive shoals. Fauna on Planet 4546B is capable of enduring and adapting to various environments, although previously unable to thrive due to the presence of the Kharaa Bacterium. Ranging from the tiny, cave-dwelling Rockgrub, to the colossal Sea Dragon Leviathan that spews molten minerals from its mouth. Players new to the game would want to avoid or be cautious toward this article.įauna is the term for animals, in this case, the animals of Planet 4546B. Fauna in Subnautica can be found all over the planet, from the mysterious depths of the Crystal Caves to the vibrant Safe Shallows, and the fiery pits of the Lava Lakes.įauna on Planet 4546B comes in all shapes, sizes, and forms. This species may be nearing extinction.This article contains unmarked spoilers. While it is not unusual for larger predators to sustain lower populations, it is possible the sea dragon's food sources have diminished over time. The sea dragons' size and the restrictions of the cave systems they inhabit suggest their population numbers are extremely low, perhaps in the single digits. With few substantial targets in the volcanic cave systems the sea dragon likely ventures out into cooler waters to hunt other, smaller leviathans, cornering them and forcing them deeper, where they are ultimately boiled alive. The sea dragon is likely one of the oldest species on the planet.Īs the largest carnivorous species encountered on 4546B, almost everything is potential prey. Finding suggests evolutionary divergence from other species on the planet tens of millions of years ago. It even appears to be able to consume molten materials and expel them at its adversaries.Įvolutionarily distinct forearms are used for both propulsion and offensive purposes. Consumption and retention of mineral substances may explain the lifeform's ability to withstand extremes of temperature. Tissue analysis reveals this specimen consists of 1/3 inanimate materials, focused around the chest area. The scanned specimen measured 112m in length. Motivational note: Congratulations on getting close enough to scan it and living to see the results!Īssessment: Extreme threat - Avoid in all circumstancesĪ colossal leviathan with reptilian features, seen stalking the very heart of the volcanic crater which underpins life in this area. Observed circling its prey and attacking from behind. The deep roar emitted by the reaper at regular intervals is effectively sonar - if you can hear it properly, the reaper can see you. Simulated pressure exceeds Seamoth crush resistance. This leviathan is capable of locking prey in place with four powerful mandibles, and drawing it within reach of its jaws. This species is a streamlined hunter, with highly developed senses. Leviathan class species are vast organisms at the top of their respective food chains. It can't really damage the cyclops, but maybe it can push the cyclops deep enough to exceed its crush resistance. It's attacks are strong enough to damage the seamoth. Circeling his prey and attacking from behind, locking it with his four powerful mandible claws, shaking it, and at the same time he consumes it.
