Void leviathan is dumb

[Meowster Chief]

Like,, can't we get an actual cool leviathan that isnt a recolor and resize of the chelicirate (however you spell it). I am super bummed, my hope for below zero was to have a amazing void leviathan that was better than the ghosts. . I had high hopes for the 2 years of the game being made. And we just never got that cool monster. Instead of got a remake of the first leviathan you see in the game. Whats your opinion on this?

Well, I got my own theory where the designers got their ideas from:

But initially, I either counted them as simply big "shrimps".
Yet I cannot help myself finding these weird mouth pieces terrifying.

The Reaper had at least some sort of "regular" mouth just with 4 tentacles that pulled you into it, when they grabbed you.



But these creatures... Terrifying. oO
Yet I haven't tried to handfeed them some Arctic Peepers. Maybe they are pretty tame either like the Reapers?

I don't believe feeding them works in this game. Or at least I've never gotten it to work with Peepers. Maybe there is something else they prefer.

The only creature I've had luck feeding are the Snow Stalkers. If you give them a Preston's Delight, they become non-hostile towards you for about a minute or so. The game even has a special animation for this.

Thanks for pointing this out. :D

Hang on, I just realized something.

The reason the Ghost Leviathans made sense in the void in the first game is because they're filter feeders. They eat bacteria, plankton, and other micro-organisms which are plentiful in the void where nothing else lives.

We already know the pink things (I don't know how to spell it either) aren't, since they actively prey on animals and the player inside the boundaries. What the hell do the void ones eat?

Side note, but these and the Cryptos have terrible names. Ghost, reaper, sea dragon, these were all short and evocative. They accurately summed up these creatures and were memorable. The Shadow leviathan is slightly better, except "shadow" doesn't really sum it up. It doesn't really hide in darkness, nor use darkness to ambush things. Goliath crawler would seem to fit better, off the top of my head.

Exactly, that for me just shows how lazy the void leviathan is, they didn't even explain how they live in the void

Not to defend Below Zero, but the Ghost leviathans in Subnautica also attack the player and other large creatures like River Prowlers.

They explained this away in the first game by saying that they're highly territorial, not predatory. Which makes a lot of sense, especially given how they won't chase the player even slightly past the rooms they reside in.

agreed

I think they are pretty fun to observe and tease. ^^
