Talk:Crash Zone/@comment-38255833-20190121232926

Some people wonder what the Crash Zone was before the Aurora arrived. Here's my theory:

Based on the number of Reaper Leviathans, we can assume it was very open, simular to the Dunes or Mountains. It would need to have a relativly shallow depth range (0-550 meters sounds good). I also doubt there was an island, and that the sand around the Aurora was likely sand that got pushed up from the violent upheavel of the Aurora's impact. Back on track now, let's not forget the Crash Zone Mesas, which may have been scattered all over the place. So, here's what I can put together:

The Crash Zone was at one point simular to the Dunes (lots of sand, very scattered Fauna and Flora), with Mesas popping up in random locations, because, I doubt they would only be at the sound end of the Crash Zone. There were likely scattered Gasopods and other Fauna found in the shallows, as it borders a Safe Shallows.

Or it might have just been a Safe Shallows biome that got completely decimated in the crash, biut whatever. That's just my theory.
