Thanks for watching Unearthing Subnautica's Terrifying Extinct Creatures!
Giant Ancient Skeleton Crab is nightmare fuel I didn't need today...
Hey man love the content u got a fan for life if u keep this quality up! Would love to see a subnautica story vid or vids on the biomes or whatever, anyway love your content can't wait for more!
@@Anchorwing. Thanks Anchorwing, I'm sure there will be more in the future, especially in this Leviathans series!
@iAletho looking forward to it! I can see your channel blowing up based on your voice, narration style and format really good stuff!
Not today but tonight
@@iAletho For some reason I read your handle to the tune of Calypso
Realistically speaking, most leviathans wouldn’t be interested in hunting us, and certainly not the gargantuan leviathan. It would be too much energy for something so small in return. If anything, I’d wager the reason why the larger leviathans (the reaper is the exception I can make since it’s one of the smaller leviathans) are so aggressive towards us is because they’re territorial and sensitive to any sort of change in their environment.
That's actually what it says on the wiki lmao about the ghost lavaithin
Imagine you're an unspeakably huge creature just chilling in your dark void water. And every so often huge ships smash into your planet. Given how sound travels in water, I'd be pretty ticked off too
That makes 0 sense. " Realistically" speaking, humans are slow AF in the water. It wouldn't take a leviathan class organism any energy to eat a human. They don't even need to take speed up. Even In their normal swimming speed they could catch up and just open close mouth. And you are wrong. Look at the modern world: bears eat humans, so do sharks, orcas or other whales. Furthermore, we know from dino fossils that that size of creatures require constant eating. Titanosaurs were eating almost non stop to support their gargantuan size. And given how there's not that much prey in Subnautica, I'd say they go for anything. Animals only give up prey if the prey is resistant enough so they know during the fight it won't work. Example: polar bear vs seal. U can see BBC earth episode the bear hunts for the seal, gets in water, fights for a while but let's it go. Because it's hide too thick the bear realizes it's pointless to continue. But not before fighting. The bear only realizes it's pointless once it has attacked and sinked it's teeth with full strength in it. So your assessment is wrong. If you still claim it true try swimming in great white infested waters or hiking with hungry grizzlies.
that and possibly infection from kharaa changing their behaviour (though i don't think the bacterium is stated to do that in-universe). but the actual reason is to facilitate more interesting gameplay.
@@vizthex It Doesnt specifically state it, but it is heavily implied and proved as the sand sharks does not attack in the prison of the emperor. The pda actually says ' shows unusual passive behavior'. Based on this, it's very likely that the bacterium does behavioral changes.
I'm pretty sure that the Gargantuan Leviathan near the ghost leviathan is a juvenile, so it couldn't have died from old age and there were probably way bigger leviathans
The Gargantuan fossil is 3 million years old so its been dead for a little while Sprite! xD
Yeah they get bigger
Are we sure they're all extinct? They aren't in the biomes we see, but we explore one small plateau in the ocean, who know what's out there once you're past the deadzone.
@@fruitsalad5036 Mod go bbrrrrr
@@virtualshark9203 That is a valid question, after all, the ecological dead zone might house these massive Leviathan class creatures, that feed on the Reapers and Sea Dragons that one may encounter, and we know that there are multiple Reapers as to where they can be found. The planet might be a massive water planet, with few land masses and aquatic habitats.
To give the Gargantuans size some more perspective... The diameter of a human eye is about 24mm. A grain of sand is about .06 to 2mm. So to get an idea of what you would like to the Garganatuan, hold a single grain of sand up. That's YOUR eye.
the gargantuan leviathan is 5+ kilometers long
@@user-vn1kj8xc3l no 1100-1500 metres aka 1.1 to 1.5 km
@@arandomyoutubewatcher Thats a huge boy
@@arandomyoutubewatcher He's referring to the Adult Gargatuan Leviathans. Your figure comes from the Juvenile in the lost river. Yeah these things are unholy big.
@@lavans5721 where in the game is that figure said?
I'm glad that you didn't mention The Ancient Skeleton's whole ingame model which has made many people think that what's in the game is it's entire skeleton, meanwhile obviously it's meant to make it look as if it's entire body is buried under the ground, so clearly the devs wouldn't actually design the entire skeleton if literally only it's skull area is ever going to be visible.
Pretty sure that’s a good portion of the body
@@mapleflag6518 the two actual details regarding the ancient skeletons size is the PDA entry stating that it would’ve been larger than any creature currently living on the planet and that the devs originally called the skeleton the ancient skull before changing the name to the ancient skeleton, which would imply that the devs were potentially envisioning it as being significantly larger than what can be seen
I'm thinking those holes in the side of the skeleton socketed tentacles, seeing as tentacles aren't bone but coils of muscle when the body eventually decayed the tentacles wouldn't be visible
@carvermatthews9617 I don't think tentacles need holes though but I might be wrong.
@@kakahass8845 Most creatures with tentacles that I've seen don't really have bones, or at least not like that, so I made an assumption that a creature with bones that have perfectly symmetrical holes on either side had tentacles
It's possible that the crater wasn't even a thing when the garg died, it's body could have settled on the void floor only to be pushed up millions of years later by the volcano. With the cavity its decomposing body left buried under who knows how many layers of sediment forming a cavity that currents would eventually erode into the lost river cave.
That's the most logical theory, also I never thought about how it's body possibly could've been the catalyst for creating the whole of lost river, makes it even more cool and a massive part of the game's lore.
@@Laban6112 a potential problem with the theory tho is we dont know if the rock making up the cave walls is sedimentary or igneous or however the hell ya spell it, but in the case of igneous i guess that could be handwaved by saying the garg got covered up by lavaflow as the volcano was forming. All that really matters for the theory is that the garg got buried and over time decomposition created a cavity. The science aint great but i doubt the devs cere Too Much about geology lmao
@@Mae_Dastardly Has fossils. Not igneous. Fossils are destroyed in igneous rock.
@@damenwhelan3236 Wait really? I knew lava's hot but I didn't think it was THAT hot
@Mae Dastardly It's molten rock under the ground. That's magma. Magma under pressure is full of acids and heat and pressure. That chemical soup and physical conditions transforms sedimentary rock into metamorphic rock. This process destroys the structure of the sedimentary rock. Odds are the crater os an impact of some sort that damaged the rock and allowed wave action to reveal the fossil. But who knows.
I always figured the juvenile leviathan was the offspring of the big one. Perhaps both were trapped in some massive geological event millions of years ago, or both perished and were covered over time as the biome was formed.
canonically the crater is part of a volcano so maybe there was some kind of volcanic event or something that managed to kill them off
I like to think it outgrew it’s food sources and couldn’t sustain itself anymore on top of that over the years many of its prey would likely evolve to live in conditions that they couldn’t to avoid them meaning they didn’t only get too big but it’s current food sources also disappeared causing it to slowly die and it’s body would lay on the sea floor and overtime the lost river started to form around its remains.
"good luck fitting this in your museum" the british: challenge accepted
It's going to have to be a very big building xD
it *IS* the museum.
As a British I can confirm that we steal and stab anything we come across.
what about the frozen leviathan? I know it's technically still alive but it's in a comatose state, would've been cool to hear about.
Wait its still alive????
@@frostbitedragon9 that explains how we cure it, at least i think
It’s confirmed by the devs to be dead
Didn't the story of Subnautica Below Zero confirmed that the Kharaa virus feeds on the decomposing Body of the big leviathan?
Below Zero isn't worth discussing
Fun fact about the gargantuan leviathan, the cratter in wich the game takes place is roughly 3.8km in diameter, so imagine how long it would be given its size
Maybe the habitable land/Sea was bigger 3 million years ago, and some tectonical plate shifting caused the "Void" to expand and the crater to be lifted more up to be the last part that can contain life.
It'd be about the length of the Aurora, maybe a little longer, but probably not as wide and tall.
@@JoJoGaminG36 That's the opposite : the "void" is the deep ocean, covering most of the planet, where Gargantuan leviathan used to live feeding from Ghost Leviathan. The crater is the rest of a volcanic eruption millions of years ago that lift the ground and the body with it.
You're by far one of my favorite Subnautica channels, love your content and what you do for the fandom!! Yesterday i binge watched every single vehicle info video because i was sick and i am now ingrained with the Knowledge
Thanks Caterpolaris! Glad I could make you feel a bit better! Get well soon :)
@@iAletho You're very welcome! And I'm still a little sick but gonna get better soon!
@@CaterpolarisII !!! COVID ALERT !!!
@@HarambaeXelonmuskfans Sadly not, it was bronchitis 😔 But good guess!
Is it possible, that the first creature's second set of eye holes are actually ear holes? Some reptiles and birds have these, although I'm unsure whether they show up in skeletal structures.
Ear holes on fish?
@@NoFlyZone31It’s a fantasy creature, not a fish. Anything is possible
@@ghoultooth but that isn't contusive to the somewhat believable designs of the creatures in both subnautica games. also it's a *sci-fi creature.
@@ghoultooth Sci-fi, an everything else so far has been within the realm of possibility for fish. The game clearly has rules for its creatures, the same we use for fish, so, I repeat: Ear holes on fish?
@@NoFlyZone31Yeah I agree. Earholes are unlikely as sound travels faster, farther and is louder in water. Probably just have simple interior ears like fish no need for complex ear holes.
God, the mystery, intrigue and sheer terror the developers have managed to produce with this game is absolutely astounding! I love Subnautica so much! It's definitely up there with my top 3 or 5 games ever! Great video, my friend! Can't wait to see more :D
With 100 hours on this game can’t believe there was so much I didn’t know. Thanks for the great vid!
Thanks for watching as always Delta Pig :)
I think the ancient skeleton is an eel type animal based on the physical traits of the skeleton. The holes on the side of the ancient skeleton are prolly either gill openings or as slime glands to protect it from predators biting it. If the latter is the case I’m scared at what this thing needs to defend itself from
Could be the ancestor to one of the eel/snake type creatures then. Some people have depicted it as turtle and isopod like with either turtle flippers or small isopod legs
Obviously other leviathan species in the ecological dead zone
I hope next entries in the series will have us explore the Void. The 2 games we had so far had us explore the equivalent of what safe shallows are to the rest of the map, just the tip of the iceberg and the safest parts of the world, imagine what could lie down in the abyss, kilometers below the surface. The gargantuan leviathans might not even be extinct for all we know, or what other terrifying eldritch monstrosities live down there, feeding on ghost leviathans. I hope the devs pull no stops if they ever have us venture down there, and make it a full blown horror game.
Seems like the end of Below Zero had us travel to the Architect planet though, right?
@@AstralArbourSys it's been a while so I might be wrong but did we even see anything on that planet and also the original comment means on the main planet that both games take place on. I've heard it all takes place on top of a volcano so there could be millions of miles of things to explore
maybe they could bring back the single-cell landscape concept and expand it into a full creature.
@@AstralArbourSys yeah, but that's stupid as fuck lol plus you play as different characters in both games, so they could just do that again in the third game.
I think my guy studied hours of anatomy both of real creatures and 4546B's creatures just to make it, respect my guy loved the video as always!
I haven’t watched subnotica for years yet KZhead recommended this video and really intrigued me and I couldn’t stop watching it after that. I didn’t even know that some of these creates even existed!! This is honestly amazing. Now I’m kinda wanting to know more
"Subnotica" 😂
It’s wild to think about but in subnautica the deepest you can go as the player without jumping off the craters edge is just a little over a mile deep, even tho in the game the oceans feel extremely deep.
Couple things: - Fenestrae are what you call holes in bones/anatomy, usually to lighten loads. Temporal or postorbital fenestra might be what we're seeing in Theta, rather than a second set of eyes. Pretty much every orbital cavity in the game has a ring, while the openings you indicate don't. - The holes in the Ancient Skeleton are possibly to allow a mollusk's tentacles to grow outward from the armored core. I'd be proposing something akin to the concept art, with inspiration from the ancestors of the cuttlefish specifically and gastropods more generally, which would explain the lack of joints. - As for the Gargantuan Leviathan, it's entirely plausible that there was no collapse trapping the creature. It's a fairly common thing for sea life to enter caves (or into other sea life) and then grow large enough that it can't escape. Given that the thing had no notable wounds that we're aware of, it may be that the thing simply grew too much and starved to death.
I love Subnautica, because I love the ocean and it's mysteries. Thank you for making this video!
Glad you enjoyed Wolfy!
glad you enjoy the ocean i have submechanifobia the fear of underwater manmade objects or ships
this man could make a documentary of subnautica if he wants too 👍👍
your welcome 👍😁
If I’m not mistaken, the denser an atmosphere the bigger the animal is. It’s why dinosaurs were so big but we don’t have anything their size on land. Likewise, there’s deep sea gigantism. When the pressure of the water merits bigger and stronger sea life. Something may have happened on the planet that reduced the pressure of the atmosphere as well as the sea. This caused the extinction of these large specimens with their ancestors being smaller versions of them. They may not survive in the ocean now. I’m guessing that the Ancient Fossil has those massive holes for 6 large fins. They had no bones (or at least none that survived the millennia) but were comprised entirely of muscle to maneuver throughout the ocean.
The atmosphere was the same on dino times, there was mlre oxygen tho. Dino were big cause they had hollow bones, that where ligther and bigger flora
I had no idea that Theta had living descendants. I missed that somewhere. So cool to learn. I love the lore in grand exploration games like this.
I LIVE for this type of stuff!! Science-y subnautica? SIGN ME UP!
Tbh just seeing the gargantuan head next to a ghost leviathan gives me the chills
Fun fact: if something evolved to have fangs like the Gargantuan Leviathan then it probably hunted something bigger than itself as a food source
That’s terrifying
Gargantuan Leviathan is cool to see in the Return of the Ancients mod that brings it to life.
This was a great video! This really helped me better understand and gave me a better idea on what the leviathans in the lost river or the research facility actually are and how they might’ve lived, I’ve always been wondering how these things got around
Your channel is growing now, and I am more than happy to see it grow even more! Congrats in advance, mate!
0:09 IRON LUNG PTSD kicking in
It's been so long since I played Subnautica, but man I was obsessed with all of this. Reading up all about the PDA entries and theorising about the extinct leviathan species and I really love all this stuff. Great video, I really loved it
I love the semi-comedic and yet still serious and informative tone you have, good fun for videos like these
this is the most thorough dissection of each fossil i've ever seen, damn.
woah i'm really liking the style of this video and the content, always love seeing some good interpretted environmental story telling and ancient history added to stories, background stuff like this is one of my favourite things in any sort of fantasy / sci fi story
Thanks shmeepshmoop! Glad you liked it! :)
The ancient skeleton's holes in its bone could be like how some insects breathe using holes in them and the bone might've just been in the way so the evolved holes in them
Truly keeping subnautica alive! I’ve only played below zero but I have fallen in love with the games and lore, thanks for the great video 💜
I would think the gargantuan leviathan would simply grow too large to be able to sustain itself. It would need to be constantly eating just to sustain functional biological processes. Moving around, oy, forget about it lol
I just want a subnautica game that’s like you explore the past seeing every single creature that lived before we got here and all of the land and stuff gets change like a past game
I love your editing style and the way you speak so clearly, reminds me of like a kids show or something you'd find on PBS and I mean that in the best way possible.
Haha thanks CJ :)
The Second Extinct Leviathan, it probably has holes to lighten its way when it moves in the void and probably moves like a snake.
Mate I just finished watching all of the other subnautica videos! Another banger video!
Theory: maybe the way the gargantuan levitations got stuck there is because maybe they were chasing the smaller six eyed levitation for lunch but then got stuck or trapped and died in the lost river before it became the lost river.
Man that's probably the best Thumbnail i've seen in months, Nice work!!
Thanks Anthomnia! Love your videos :)
this is dope, i've always wanted an explanation on these old guys!
Glad you liked it Sentrid!
glad people started appreciating this gem of a game, I'd suggest taking a look at Prey 2017, really great game as well with mysteries and deep lore.
My favorite thing about subnautica is the creatures and especially the leviathans.
The Garguantuan fossil is older literelly older than humanity , i wonder how it was preserved so well and for so long
Oh I've actually got this one! It's in the lost river, which is essentially a giant brine pool. This occurs (in real life btw) when the water becomes so saturated with salt that it sinks to the ocean floor, and is toxic to even microscopic life. However, this also means that anything that finds itself dead in the brine pool will be EXEEDINGLY well-preserved because of the salt! Now, obviously the skeleton in the river is. A skeleton. But that brine has probably saturated and essentially fossilized that skeleton. So... yea
never played subnautica before but have known it for years
That concept art is insane i wish it was in the final game
So yea. I don't need to bring those skeletons up my friend, I already have cloned the gargantuan leviathan and keeping him as a pet. The specim seems to not die to old age, as I brought it back at the same age it was at death, 1000000-1500000 years old. The primary food sorce is the Ghost Leviathans found in the void. The Gargantuan leviathan is measured at about 3000 metres long, or 3km. I will return with more information on the specim and hope to help us recover the lost mysterys of Planet 4546B. End of Log
That is some cool concept art.
This is indeed a very interesting video that i needed today
Great video! You should cover the ghost leviathan next
I can't wait to see some, if not all, of these creatures to come to life in the Return of the Ancients mod!
Everytime i see these fossils i just want to see them in-game alive. Just imagine we'll get a time machine in Subnautica 2... the possibilities, the terrain. THE CREATURES. It would be too good
I mean we already have subnautica 2. I know It’s not a great game but it exists atleast
@@Thinepickles i know. Below zero aint bad. But its not like the first game. The reason why i said "Subnautica 2" is because the devs themselves named it that
and you see Riley but you should not get seen cause paradox stuff
@@Miliradian i mean even further in time. Approximately 3 million years in the past.
there’s the gargantuan mod but that’s pretty much it. I’d really wanna see the ancient leviathan
Theta wasnt the remains they built an off-site facility for. This is obvious, since it's, y'know... not off-site. The Lost River Laboratory Cache is the off site facility I'm pretty sure, so it'd be the giant skeleton thing. Also for scale, based on the PDA's estimate the Gargantuan Leviathan would have been about as long as the Aurora, plus or minus a hundred meters.
You are just soooo underrated, I love it!!
Thanks Luxorens :)
i would think that the gargantuan leviathan could very well be a cannibalistic feeder with a big spawn count. This way ensure a good population with rare reproduction and a constant source of food. If the spawn were small enought they could very well have been prey to what would be the prey of the adult population and as such allow such prey to become big enought. It's also common for big fish and reptilian predator to feed on other of similar species and if such a big creature is main predator they would have trouble finding efficient food source and would have to hunt constantly as they grow and would have the risk of starving with just a few meal missed. If there are no species of similar sizing or bigger mass that can be easilly preyed upon it would make sence for them to eat smaller gargantuan leviathan.
You should do a vid where you "discover" a few living gargantuan leviathans since there's a mod to bring them to life I would love that
I long for Subnautica 2... what a glorious day it will be to play it.
The gargantuan is a massive creature and if my calculations are correct it would not survive in the water above 3km because of its size ,and energy needs to hunt would require a massive metabolism ,meaning it would need to eat its body weight in food over 48 hours ( 100s of sea dragons per day ). Better chance it dwells at 4-8km depth and is an opportunistic hunter. Alike the colossal squid, It would move very slowly and only use bursts of energy to get away from danger. It is however the largest thing by literal kilometers so it would not need to run away and likely has many electrical cells for defense ( why it goes so deep near the lost river and has offspring there, there is sulfuric acid inside the volcano crater that fuels its electrical cells. It eats acid ) this is also why it has attained great size as it does not need to exert lots of energy because of the previous point. Now read this in a David Attenborough voice and get back to me. Or there is something big enough to hunt? But what?
It’s also highly likely that the tiny Rockgrub is related to Research Specimen Theta. In the Rockgrub’s PDA entry, it states “This creature may be a distant relative of the sand shark, sharing that species' unusual limbs, segmented exoskeleton, and burrowing behavior.” Since we know the Sand Shark is related to Research Specimen Theta, the Rockgrub most likely is as well.
Whoever made the thumbnail did a great job 👍👍
Personally, I believe, given the lack of a defined socket, the second set of holes behind Theta's eyes might've been an ear-like structure
Very nice analysis video, great job. I just want to point out that the taxonomy of Subnautica's creatures is very difficult to pinpoint (with the exception of some obvious cases like peeper + oculus, or biter + blighter), as they have so many varying body shapes, limb arrangements, and number of eyes. I don't know that the boneshark and sandshark are related to the theta, since we can't actually know the bone structure of the living creatures. They also wouldn't be "descendants" of these fossils, just like a chicken isn't descended from a T. rex, a tiger isn't descended from a saber-tooth cat, and a great white isn't descended from a Megalodon. They would rather be distant cousins.
Id like to see someone animate a fight between the gargantuan levitation and the reaper levitation, it would be like a Chihuahua trying to fight a giant tiger
Imagine if you can somewhat revive these majestic creatures, but it may have a backlash as well
Im pretty sure that the gargantuan leviathan skull is a juvenile... just imagine jow much a full aged one would be...
I think the the ancient skeleton used to move by wiggling kind of like an eel. I thought this because of the overlapping bones. I hope they give us some more information about it
your videos are great! keep up the good work!!!!
Thanks Scarredclaw! Glad you enjoyed it :D
The plated / armoured giant one is a massive worm. It’s like 500 cyclops worth long. It’s MASSIVE there are already mods about it.
Kind of tangential but I really love the design of the Gargantuan Leviathan from the Return of the Ancients mod. Apart from its jaw-dropping size and presence it also neatly combines aspects of the largest (and my favourite) Leviathan class creatures, hinting at common ancestry and aspects of all the other top of the food chain creatures. With its long, translucent serpentine body akin to the Ghost Leviathan albeit in a less ghostly though more difficult to see black (matching into the Void that supports it), the reptilian head not dissimilar to the Sea Dragon (though ironically appearing more draconic than its theorised descendants), and it’s ‘mane’ of tendrils similar to the Sea Emperor and Sea Dragon lower halves making up a terrific prehistoric beastie.
The entire class: Scans Peepers, Reginald's, and Bunny Rays The quite kid: **Scans The Gargantuan Leviathan skulls**
Y'know, I never actually noticed how similar the sea emperor and sea dragon are.
I think the ancient skeleton could be related to the ice worm, shadow leviathan, theta, bone shark, sand shark, blighter and biter. I have now nicknamed it the burrower and it was a centipede like creature.
Really good video. And the reason why, Is because i love terror!
Bro I was literally just learning about species ancestry and features I understand this now and it’s terrifying
i still dont know how this guy is so criminally underrated
I did not expect to see a video about subnoutica, that was so recent
it could be possible that the reason the gargantuan is in the lost river is because it would’ve fed on creatures similar to the ghost leviathan considering ghost leviathans hatch in the lost river
There’s SO MUCH of this planet we have yet to discover
4:17 Not found on any other creature? Perhaps the smaller hole for the hypothesized 'antenna' could be what remains of that extra eye. This would also reinforce the idea that the larger skeleton is much older than Theta
people do realize that holes in skulls arent all necessarily eye sockets right?
It’s possible the gargantuan leviathans fought each other for food, it’s also possible they both beached themselves in an enclosed area when they noticed they got infected with the karra virus like axolotls do when they get sick
why is this video so enjoyable, i don't even play subnautica
Hey great video, I really loved it, however I’ve been a very big fan of Subnautica for many years and since before the gargantuan leviathan Fan art (and subsequent mod) where commissioned, and before that time you would get to use your imagination for how the gargantuan leviathan looked based off the information provided by the PDA, and the skeleton, and so some really great Fan art came out of this that followed the description of the PDA, and I loved it. but then the KZheadr Anthomnia commissioned some Fan art for the gargantuan leviathan, the Fan art that was later used for the mod, which I really don’t like because it is described as “eel-like” in the PDA, and it seems like the artist took to much artistic liberty, and added large tendrils all around the head which there is no evidence of, the head is disproportionate, it’s not very eel-like, and other unnecessary and incorrect details, which I wouldn’t have a problem with except that everyone thinks that the Fan art, and mod, are the official design, when it is not. I’m sorry for ranting a bit, it’s just that I’m very passionate about this game, and I love the gargantuan leviathan and the mystery, and fear, presented by it, and it really sparked my imagination. Also you are one of if not my favorite Subnautica KZheadrs, and I’ve been subscribed since 1k or maybe even before, and anyway great video!
Hey Levi, I'll admit I just went with the most recognised design for the Gargantuan Leviathan when making this thumbnail, you're very much correct in the fact that their isn't actually a canon look for the living creature :)
@@iAletho yeah that makes sense, I’m sorry, I’m not directing this at you, or the thumbnail, it’s actually a really cool thumbnail, you make awesome thumbnails btw. I just needed to get this out somewhere, because I feel unheard, I made a post about this on Reddit and it got downvoted to oblivion, anyway I really love your channel and the content you create, so keep it up!
If the gargantuan leviathan most likely lived in the void i feel like it could have followed a ghost leviathan through a massive tunnel in the old terrain that then colapsed after it entered, it then got stuck and died of starvation
I don't even play subnautica but damn this is entertaining
Someone made a mod for the gargantuan Leviathan to make it alive AND OH BOY ITS HUGE AND HAS LIKE 30 LIMBS THAT ARE AROUND 300 meters long
Maybe the ancient skeleton wasnt a open water type but a burrower that swam through the sand and soft rock
Next video: punching the gargantuan leviathan to death with the prawn!
Punch it back to life 👊
Kratos: finally a worthy opponent
5:13 I think it would possibly be gill slots and that boi is literally BIG and what we are looking at is just it's SKULL because there's an absence of bones for limbs.
Some art suggests the holes in the ancient skeleton is a area that another skeleton piece would go through
i think theta actually refers to the ancient skeleton at the cache since they mention an "off-site" laboratory
Ur like a professional archeologist lmao
"Try putting that in a museum" Me: "it IS the museum"
I think that maybe the Gargantuan leviathan we see, tried pursuing some kind of prey or maybe even a smaller rival, got stuck, maybe even caused the cave to collapse on top of itself in its attempts to escape and simply died of starvation
Thanks for the tips
No problem Rayan :)
Welcome back travelleres to this amazing enthralling channel
Haha thanks klag :)
