I'm not ruling it out because it's the smallest, the Sea Treader is the smallest. Comparing to that size alone should be the definition Imagine a creature floating in the middle of it.Ī blue whale is 30 meters in length and is the largest creature to have ever existed per Wikipedia. Next time you find yourself in a stadium. The thing is half a football field long American or soccer, they're close enough for field size. Reapers are larger than most things on Earth. Sea emperor is dying off because the bacterium killed off their food. Ghost leviathans eat those, they are just territorial. Next, most of the things you listed eat Plankton and krill. Are humans top of our food chain here on Earth? When I die, bacteria and worms and whatnot will eat my remains.

If you are basing off size compared to others in the same classification, then by extension, only one can be a Leviathan. So then once that is gone, what about the sea treader? Once that is gone, what about the reefback?Įventually you are left with the sea emperor. So you are ruling it out because it is the smallest of the leviathans. According to the wiki (unofficial), all that's required for a creature to be placed in the category is for it to be really big.ĮDIT2: Please share your opinion in the comments, I'd love to have a discussion and hear your opinions. I just wanted to explain something I thought of and found interesting from me looking up what the hell Leviathan actually means. They are Leviathans becase the devs say so and it's their game. Just to clarify: This is my opinion, I don't think they fit the bill for what I think a Leviathan should be. So, because it's size doesn't compare to other Leviathans, and because it's a snack for another Leviathan, in my opinion, the Reapers aren't actually Leviathans. There are 2 more in the ALZ if I remember correctly but still, this means that it's not very uncommon for the Dragon to get himself a meal from the surface. The Reaper is sometimes dinner for the twice as large Sea Dragon which sometimes takes a trip up the LR, and drags a Reaper down to the ILZ.Īnd remember, there is 1 Sea Dragon in the ILZ. In the Inactive Lava Zone you find I think there are 4 Repear Leviathan skeletons. BUT IT ISN'T EVEN AT THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN And the Sea Emperor is dwarfed by the Gargantuan Skeleton found in the LR which is around 1000m.Īnyways, compared to it's diet of small fish, stalkers and bone/sandsharks it's pretty massive. It's half the size of an adult Ghost Leviathan, and the Sea Emperor is beetween 3 or 4 times bigger. OK, so is the Reaper huge? Yeah, but, relative to others? No. Now, the term leviathan could be interpreted in many ways, combining a few definitions, this is what I found best describe them: Huge ocean monster that is the top of its food chain. Ghost Leviathan 67m (juvenile) 107 (adult) Majorly disappointing.Firstly, the fauna classified as 'leviathans' in Subnautica, from smallest to largest are:

This is on account of an animation that is supposed to occur? Who knows.Įgg drops need a major buff. NOPE! Item has been added to the blacklist of commands and cannot be cheated in by the player. It took me a good 15 mins of swimming around the mountains to find the juvenile there, and another 30 minutes of following it around for what? If the juveniles DO drop it, they should definitely be dropping it more often as finding the juveniles in the first place is not exactly a piece of cake. IF the babies are the only ones that drop the enzyme, they should 'leave some behind' in the tank once they vacate it. Are we supposed to somehow follow this thing around for longer? An entire mind-numbingly boring hour of staring up the butt of a leviathan hoping that you can simply find the cure? I followed one around for 30 minutes in real time, and not so much as a single drop. You can definitely find the juveniles swimming around the world, however, despite the wiki saying so (and who knows if that's true), they DO NOT drop the baby enzyme 42. This blocking of end-game content is unncessary. When you hatch the baby sea emperor leviathans, if you make the critical mistake of leaving the area, being cured becomes a near impossibility.
