In the unfathomable depths of Subnautica there

lurks a monster. I am writing this to spare you

from the time and pain of finding it. For those

of you who don't know Subnautica is a game about

exploring the depths of a underwater alien

planet. Anyway as I was swimming I encountered a

huge island I thought that was cool cause I had

not seen it before. After exploring the island I

got board and decided to try something new. I

decided to go as far down as I could into the

crushing depths to see if it ended. It is also important to note that the ocean

floor after going in any one direction for a

while drops suddenly into the depths. How far it

goes no one knows. First I left the island and

swam south away from the island for about ten

minutes. I than decided to turn around to look at the

ship. It was no were to be seen I had swam so far

all I could see was endless water and the last

light of the sun as night set in. I than began my

dive luckily I had tons of batteries for my

SeaGlide and then there's always cheats if I

needed more. As I descended into the depths it

became darker and darker the farther I went down

which is normal but unnerving nevertheless. At

around 43,000 meters I stopped unnerved how far

I had gone I felt strangely alone in this

unending darkness.

After a few minutes I continued my descent with

resolve losing all track of time. Down and down I

went for how long I do not know. After 800,052

meters I noticed something strange my depth gauge

stopped working and only stayed on 800,052. I

have never seen that glitch before but it did not

surprise me as I doubt many people have gone down

that far. After using a cheat to refill my

batteries I continued down into the unending

abyss.

After five minutes about Something odd happened

the music abruptly stopped and after ten secounds

a haunted mournful melody started playing that I

had never heard. I swam horizontally for a while

to see if I could find something. I found nothing

however I did find out that the haunted melody

only plays in a certain area and will stop if you

swim to far away. After I swam back to were I

left my beacon which is were I first heard the

haunted melody I began to dive deeper into the

depths. After seven minuets about something

unnerving happened. The haunted melody suddenly

stopped and all background sound stopped. I

continued diving unnerved by the lack of all

music and background sound and made the downward

trek in total silence.

After ten minutes of diving I noticed the bubbles

abruptly stopped and all I could see was utter

darkness. As I went down even further I spun around wildly

and lost all track of direction since there were

no bubbles and my depth gauge was not working.

After looking around I went in the direction I

thought was down.

As about fifteen minuets passed I was about to

give up and quit when I heard it. The sound I

hear was so unnerving I can only describe it as a

low deep bubbly mournful wheezing moan. I was

shocked that the developers would even bother

putting a sea creature down this far but I

decided to Investigate and swam towards the

source of the noise. As I got closer the noise

got louder and I started to imagine the most

horrible sea monsters imaginable. Little did I

know what I would see would be worse.

After a little bit I noticed strange green balls

of light glowing in the distance moving very

strangely as if they were invisibly connected. As

I got to the balls of light I watched them

memorized. After about two minutes I decided to

turn on my flashlight. Then I saw it.

What I beheld was the most freakish abomination

hideous beyond description. A huge mass of

writhing tentacles squirmed around with millions

of mouths all over them. A giant Bloodshot pulsating eye stared up at me.

The creatures own bones jutted out of its mass of

tentacles. I stared in horror at the abomination

I beheld. What I thought were glowing balls of

green lights were in fact glowing sacks on the

ends of its tentacles that were not bright enough

to illuminate the abomination with out a

flashlight. The creature was giant it was far

bigger than anything in Subnautica even the

Cyclops your main sub was a minnow compared to

it. Then I swam towards it.

As I got closer to the thing it gave a wheezing

mournful groan and its tentacles reached for me

its giant eye pulsating faster its jutted out

bones creaking from its movement. Then as the

tentacles got closer something weird happened.

The game started to jerk and go slow. It was

running at like 2 frames per second. Then as the

mouth covered tentacles got mere inches away the

game froze. The I stared at the frozen image of

the thing in all its freakishness. its giant eye

seemed to be looking at me. I will never forget

that image for as long as I will live.

After I could take no more of the things frozen

image I hit cntl alt del and went to task manager

and hit end process on Subnautica. As the game

force quit I could only guess as to why the thing

is in subnautica. Perhaps the developers are

testing a new creature down here and did not

think anyone would find it. or perhaps it was a rejected creature they were

going to add than changed there minds and left it

down here were they thought no one would ever see

it. It may even be a Easter egg.

Also perhaps the reason the game froze was

because the attack animations were never added so

the game got a error when it was about to attack.

Why it is in the game is a mystery but it is

truly the most freakish thing I have ever seen. I

have tried to find it again several times but I

have so far been unsuccessful and I don't think I

will again because of the time required to go

down to that depth. If you wish to look for The

Thing I wish you luck just remember what is seen

can not be unseen.
