Did you know that a reef back is also a leviathan?

[prakharsaini]

I just read it on the PDA today!

I mean it makes sense.
The "leviathan" class is given to creatures of particularly big sizes. Reefback checks out.

That means, though, that our IRL Blue Whales also would be classified Leviathan class...
I now want Subnautica's creature classification for our real world.

I was a little surprised when I first saw it, but it makes sense. Just because it's classed as a leviathan doesn't simply mean it wants to eat you, it means that it's really big.

When my cyclops got attacked by a bunch of ghost leviathans, I assumed they were just another big stupid fish trying to eat me.

Then I realise that if they're just ramming and not biting, they can't be carnivores. And if they live out in the dead zone and never go into the shallows, they must be filter feeders. And the only reason anything big would come out here is to eat THEM. So of course they're pissed at me.

Figures. The freakiest thing in the game is just an alien whale that wants to be left the hell alone.

Leviathan = Big af

[Cryten]

Yes, when you scan it, it literally says reefback leviathan. It also didnt surprise me since it was something bigger than a reaper.

You either guessed it or read their PDA scan entry.

They do indeed attack you purely out of territorial agression. They simply dont like you swimming around their food and think you want some of it too so they just try to destroy you.

The juveniles though... Those asshats eat everything and anything.

I now really like reading a PDA!
Did you know that the membrane tree has an entire mini ecosystem inside it!

[matrixdll]

The flavor text in this game is mostly written very well and worth wasting time on reading it.
I can see confusion about the "leviathan", but the term in-game is not used for, like, same genus/family of the species, but rather the size of the creatures, as someone has mentioned here. I doubt reefbacks and reapers could be considered close relatives.

[phone]'d.

I built chairs everywhere just so I have somewhere to sit while I pore over PDA entries, voice logs and such. My Cyclops bridge has a chair so I can face out the ocean anywhere and read up on something.

Yes! And it's a delicate, finely tuned, closed ecosystem - the equilibrium would collapse if the 'membrane' of the 'membrain' was to ever breach!

The first time I scanned a reefback I had no idea there was an entire 'leviathan' section, and took me a while to find its entry again.

sea treaders are also classified as levaithans,
my fav creature in the game tbh, got a locker full of lithium and another one full of daimonds by chasing a herd of them

[matrixdll]

They were once a great source of copper. Shame that they've replaced it with shale rocks, full of diamonds and lithium

They have diamonds? Why am I torturing myself in the jelly shroom caves!?

[Demolition414]

why is the Peeper not a leviathan?, I WANT A PEEPER LEVIATHAN.

Are they particularly massive? More than the crabsquids?
