Collector Leviathan
The PDA log describes it as a "tyrant squid of fearful curiosity". This solitary and highly intelligent creature is built for prying open armored prey. It uses four hunting tentacles with bioglass claws, eight arms surrounding a titanium-tearing beak, and multiple thrusters that allow it to breathe and accelerate independently.
Shiver Leviathan
The Shiver lives in the Void at depths of around 5,000 meters and hunts in packs. Females are the larger of the species, while males are smaller, more agile, and designed to flank you while your attention is on the female. Flares are ineffective against them. If they have you in their sights, creating distance is your only option, as they close in quickly.
Great Jaw
This leviathan was nicknamed "Clamthulu" during the game's development phase before being officially named the "Great Jaw". It is a stationary, clam-type creature with tripwire tendons stretched across its opening. If you trip one, its eyes will open. Once spotted, the jaws snap shut, and it emits stomach acid to digest whatever is trapped inside.
Deepwing Brooder
Completely docile and very rare, the Deepwing Brooder appears in packs above the player. It drops what look like eggs, but most of them are oily decoy blobs that pop on contact. The real, consumable eggs are hidden among the decoys. The PDA log describes it as a heavily armored, opportunistic hunter that is likely a filter feeder.
Alpha Variants
Two regular creature species have alpha-class variants. These do not have unique scan icons and appear without any announcement.
Marrow Breach (Alpha)
This variant is roughly 50% larger than normal specimens. Its file-locked PDA log is labeled "Man-Eating Marrow Breach" and contains a detail the standard entry lacks: it has digestive enzymes capable of processing human tissue. The log also flags the specimen's origin as unknown.
Needler Mango (Alpha)
Significantly larger than normal, this alpha occupies the best spot in its territory and has no unique PDA log.
The World Tree
The giant tree at the edge of the map is a Titan-class Leviathan organism. It cannot be scanned, and reaching it requires crossing the Void, which is inhabited by Shiver Leviathans. The Titan Rock Bores scattered across the world are likely its roots. The game also confirms that this is not the only world tree on the planet.
Are Any Leviathans Returning From Previous Games?
No. Since Subnautica 2 takes place on a different planet, it features entirely new fauna. However, there is a memento from the original game in the form of a Reaper Leviathan statue, which is available as a base decoration.
Will More Leviathans Be Added?
Yes. Unknown Worlds has confirmed additional creatures as part of the Early Access roadmap.
