In the very early stages of Subnautica, there were many unused and cut fauna.This, however, was scrapped upon the final release. These included, e.g., "Fertile" (occasionally lay eggs that can be hatched), "Alpha" (attacked the player if other creatures were killed by the player in the immediate vicinity), "Complex" (specimens take longer to scan), "Greater" (specimens are of larger size and weight). Fauna were once intended to possess inherent attributes, that would have caused them to exhibit unique behaviors.Scientifically speaking, the fauna of planet 4546B might have high concentrations of vanabin in their blood. This is due to the ESRB giving Subnautica a higher rating than expected due to red blood. Before this update, all fauna had red blood. As of the Dangerous Creatures update, all fauna have yellow blood.The Sea Dragon Leviathan may share this method of reproduction as it is likely the closest living relative of the Sea Emperor Leviathan and was being studied by The Architects to learn more about the Sea Emperor's hatching process, which was apparently successful.įauna of The Crater Carnivores Fauna The only one of the complex fauna species on the planet known to be an exception to this rule is the Sea Emperor Leviathan species, which is entirely asexual and does not require a mate. The only species that does not reproduce is the Warper, as they are artificial constructs. At least one fauna species is exempt from this and reproduces entirely asexually, although the norm for the planet is sexual reproduction, as can be observed in all species that can be placed in an Alien Containment unit who will require two individuals of their species to produce eggs. Two parents are still required to fertilize the eggs once laid, making it sexual reproduction. 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. If a creature infected with the Kharaa Bacterium is placed in an aquarium, the bacterium will infect all other creatures present.This article contains unmarked spoilers. Spoiler alert: The following section contains story related material. Strictly speaking, the aquarium's only purpose is decorative, other than perhaps the feature that the number and types of creatures inside can be seen without having to open the inventory, unlike other storage containers. Unlike the Alien Containment, fauna will not breed in the Aquarium. The survival of creatures in an aquarium, or any other storage, does not depend on the Seabase or Cyclops having power. Though the databank entry mentions the aquarium's automatic environmental regulation sustains the occupants, an aquarium is not actually required to store live animals, which will survive indefinitely in any storage. Only edible creatures can be placed inside. They can be added by clicking on the aquarium to bring up its Inventory menu, and placing the fauna. It can hold up to eight slots of the small Fauna which are categorized as Food. The Aquarium is an Appliance that can be built inside the Cyclops or a Seabase module using a Habitat Builder.
