Sea Treader Leviathan

This seems new This article contains information that is updated for the latest Experimental Version of Subnautica. Players using stable mode may find this information inaccurate.

Template:Infobox:Fauna Flora The Sea Treader is a type of defensive life form belonging to the fauna category. It can be found roaming in the Grand Reef area, as well as on the Sea Treader's Path, forming small herds.

Appearance

The Sea Treader has many sizes, ranging from medium to very large. Its body consists of a large torso with long, double-jointed back legs. Its front "leg" is, in fact, the creature's head and mouth, being also segmented and foldable for moving around.

The Sea Treader's head features two pairs of large and small eyes. From its underside, two large feelers protrude and extend upwards, growing close to its head. These feelers run along the entire belly of the creature and end in two bumps at its rear.

The Sea Treader's main body is mostly blue in color, decorated with bright bioluminescent orange patterns.

Behavior

The Sea Treader walks slowly and passively around its paths, constantly emitting loud, echoy calls. If the player tries to swim in front of it, the creature will attack them by pecking, or swinging its beak, removing 40% of their healthbar.

Sea Treaders often gathers into herds, keeping the smaller ones in the middle of the herd, while the larger ones stay on the outside.

Sea Treaders occasionally stop on their track to either defecate (dropping its poop in the process), or to graze. They will place their beak into the ground and start moving it for a while to munch on seagrass or other nutrients. 

Future plans

The poop of Sea Treaders will be used as a fertilizer for flora in future updates.
