After the player inserts an Ion Cube into the Incubator Device, the Sea Emperor Leviathan will speak to the player, and will move to the left side of the Alien Arch, and blow away the sand, uncovering the Arch that the player can use to access the Arch outside of the Quarantine Enforcement Platform. It will continue to interact with the player upon entering the Aquarium, telling them what they need to do in order to hatch the eggs. It will contact the player again shortly after they have obtained the Blue Tablet, and again upon entering the Lava Lakes. The Sea Emperor Leviathan will first contact the player telepathically twenty minutes after they have attempted to deactivate the Quarantine Enforcement Platform. Whenever it communicates with the player, the screen becomes distorted in a similar way to when a Warper teleports the player, or the player enters an Alien Arch. The Sea Emperor Leviathan is capable of telepathic speech, which it uses to communicate with the player at various locations around the world. When the Kharaa Bacterium was released onto the planet, many creatures died, destroying the food source of the species. It is suggested that in the past these creatures would have traveled in small herds, occasionally coming to the surface to feast on the microorganisms in the shallower water. Unlike the Sea Dragon Leviathan, the Sea Emperor Leviathan doesn't have true graspers Instead, its forelimbs are two massive, paddle-like arms.ĭespite its gargantuan size, the Sea Emperor Leviathan's diet consists solely of micro-organisms filtered from the water. The Sea Emperor Leviathan's posterior consists of seven long, yet slim tentacles ending with large tentacular clubs, with the largest being in the center, surrounded by the six smaller tentacles. It has four binocular eyes, glowing cyan in color. The creature's head is comparatively small, and quite peculiar in shape (see "Trivia" below for more), featuring two striped antennae with glowing green lures atop its snout, two large mandibles on each side of its rather small mouth, and a glowing hollow in-between these mandibles. Its tentacles are adorned with bright cyan bioluminescent "bulbs". The Sea Emperor Leviathan is colossal in size, having a stocky, entirely armored body and is predominantly pale brown in color, with a few shades of green. The Sea Emperor Leviathan is the largest living species of fauna known in Subnautica. Single specimen captured for study at purpose-built emperor containment facility, constructed in volcanic region at depth 1200m. Bone samples from deceased leviathan specimens indicate some potential for carar immunity. Once the babies have hatched, the adult Sea Emperor Leviathan will begin to die, as it has been old and sick while waiting for its offspring to be born.Īfter being hatched by the player, the Sea Emperor Babies will play with their parent for a short while, before being escorted to the Arch to go through it, going to various biomes where they will become juveniles.The closest translation of the alien symbol for this specimen is 'sea emperor'. The Sea Emperor Babies, like their parent, are also able to produce Enzyme 42, albeit in a more stable form. The Sea Emperor Babies are offspring of the last surviving Sea Emperor Leviathan, having been unable to hatch outside of their natural conditions, the player must gather various flora in order to create Hatching Enzymes, which will then allow the eggs to finally hatch.īecause the Precursors had not learned how to hatch the Sea Emperor Leviathan Eggs naturally, they extracted a Sea Emperor Baby fetus from its egg and dissected it. Where an adult Sea Emperor Leviathan has two large structures on either side of the head, a baby has two small lumps.They have a defined neck, unlike adult Sea Emperor Leviathan.The upper body is far shorter, though the lower body is mostly the same proportion-wise.The arms are much shorter and more rounded.The mandibles are smaller and are further away from the mouth.The eyes are much larger in comparison to the head than those of an adult Sea Emperor Leviathan.The head has a much narrower appearance.The babies mostly resemble adult Sea Emperor Leviathans in appearance, though there are a few differences in their proportions.
