Reaper Leviathan

The Reaper Leviathan is currently the second largest aggressive life form in Subnautica, belonging to the fauna category.

The Reaper cannot harm the Cyclops, though it has enough strength to push it.

Several Reaper Leviathans reside near the Aurora, guarding the area. However, it mainly dwells in vast, open biomes like the Dunes and the Mountains.

Appearance
The Reaper Leviathan is a colossal creature. If fins and head protrusions are included, the creature is just a little shorter than a Cyclops submarine.

The Reaper Leviathan possesses a long, slim, muscularly built body with four caudal fins and two pectoral fins. It also has two dorsal fins running along the length of its entire body, and two ventral fins taking a small portion of its belly. Most of its fins, along with its back, are red in color.

Its head features a large mouth, as well as two pairs of green eyes along with large red, black tipped mandibles on each side. Most of the body is blue-shaded white in color, having seemingly smooth skin.

Behavior
The Reaper Leviathan usually emits loud, echoey and menacing roars audible even from a great distance.

It also seems to circle its prey (or more commonly the player) for a few moments before attacking, and often strikes from behind by surprise.

If the Reaper Leviathan manages to grab the player, the creature will hold its victim in its mandibles, pause for a second while roaring, and then proceed to pull the player into its mouth, killing them instantly.

Abilities
The Reaper Leviathan is capable of a massive attack that inflicts 80% damage on the player if attacked outside of their submarine. It is also capable of grabbing the Seamoth and shaking it around. Doing so will deal about 40 - 60% damage over about ten seconds to the vehicle before it lets go.

The Reaper Leviathan has been observed to grab a Seamoth and smash it down to the seabed, destroying it completely afterwards.

The Reaper Leviathan will also grab the PRAWN Suit and can destroy it. If it succeeds, the damage incurred will only be around 15-25%.

Although the Reaper Leviathan cannot directly harm the Cyclops, it can be observed pushing it down, sometimes below the crush depth.

Future Plans

 * The Reaper Leviathan will also spawn outside of the playable area.

Trivia

 * As noted in the Reaper Leviathan data bank entry, the 'Leviathan' part of its name is a classification given to extremely large and dangerous predators. the same can be assumed for the Sea Dragon Leviathan.
