Creatures

Subnautica 2 introduces an entirely new alien ecosystem teeming with life. From the smallest bioluminescent fish to towering Leviathan-class predators, the planet's biodiversity is one of its greatest wonders -- and dangers. Players can scan and study creatures using their tools to learn more about their biology and behavior.

The game features a wide range of creature types with varying behaviors: some are passive and harmless, others are territorial and will defend themselves, and a few are aggressive predators that will actively hunt you.
