You know what... I’m kind of glad the Aurora didn’t crash in Sector Zero

Everybody gangsta untill y'all discover this leviathan is just a parasite to something bigger

They realized that one of the scariest things a creature can Do is grab you and move you in its attack, like the reaper

"No thanks, I'm a vegetarian" is a funny thing to say when someone hands you their baby

Me: Reaper leviathan is terrifying


Shadow leviathan: You sure about that

[agarnetsadvocate]

The Reaper is loud (has to be in order to see you) and has a creepy face, almost like a xenomorph. The Shadow is silent and blends very well with its environment (hence the name), and only really makes noise when it SEES you. In my opinion, they are both scary.

The Shadow Leviathan aka The Ghost Leviathans Long-Lost cousin

I remember when I first scanned the Chelicerate and thought "oh the other leviathans are gonna be easy to scan!".... it didn't end well when I got out of my seatruck to scan the Shadow Leviathan.

Sad that it plays a tiny role in below zero. I would love for these things to be the new reapers

[megabytegaming]

Ah the shadow leviathan. At first I thought it would act like a reaper and slowly make its way over to attack but to my surprise, it barreled straight towards my seatruck and was on my tail for the entire 30 seconds that I was in the crystal caves. Now, I'm kinda scared to go back there, yet that's where I have to go In order to get kyanite.

The way the head is shaped, it’s meant to break through ice. Like ships with pointed bows, for example. Meaning that this creature was most likely just recently driven down the darker depths seeing as there’s no ice in either of it’s biomes.

That raises the question, what larger predator, of predators, drove it to go deeper and develop bioluminescence? Seeing as the adaptation would have to be fairly recent

THIS IS A REMINDER:

You have a very beautiful voice

The shadow leviathan, being an endgame enemy, i feel like should have some special abilities similar to the sea dragon, so here are some ideas of mine.
For one i feel like a cloaking ability would add to the terror factor of the leviathan, all that's visible is the water being pushed as it makes its way forward, this would definitely keep you on your toes.
Another would be based on its mouth and would make sense. The acid coming out of its mouth should do corrosive damage i feel, this would make the shadow leviathan way more threatening and would make it so that the shock weapon on the sea truck isn't as overpowered as it usually is.
Those are only two abilities but i think it would make the shadow leviathan a lot more interesting, as all it really has going for it right now is that it is extremely aggressive.

Can we take a second and appreciate that he responds to all of his comments?

Imagine if one of the new leviathans are gonna get the Reaper schreeches, everyone would basically run away or pass out right there

[TopHatsGuy]

Me: *gets scared by a squid shark*
The devs: we havent even brought out the big guns

[mrdooce]

Imagine going down there for the first time and just seeing out of the blue a bright blue thing coming towards you and then as it gets closer you realise your fucked and your getting grabbed by that thing

[joedavila]

I've subsisted calling this fellow 'The last beacon' for a year now, and I barely realised that it's 'The last bacon'

[SuperDestroyerFox]

Part of the little bioluminescent cage has what looks like the head of a human.

“So you know what to do should you ever be unfortunate enough to run into it.”

Me: constantly humps my seatruck several times

Also me: “this is fine”
