Animal life is numerous as well and more dangerous. Like with fauna, I won`t mention all of them but ost important and memorable.
First there is a basic fish that is kinda like a face of the game, and it`s called peeper.
He is mainly made of a tail and 2 big eyes that are looking deep into your soul :) , just kidding, they don`t look into your soul. Next there are couple of more basic fishes, but I`ll mention couple more that are more important and memorable. First we have bladder fish which will be essential water supplier until you get on making bleach and clear water from it. Next on the list is probably my second favorite creature in the game and I`m mentioning him because of that, it`s non other than a Hover fish, I mean just look at that smile.
Those are all little one I wanted to mention, let`s get onto bigger ones now. Peacefull types are: Gasopods, Reefbacks, Jellyray, Sea threaders and couple of more. Gasopods are seal like fish that drop their gas pods that explode after couple of seconds
when you get too close to them, also you can pick those gas pods up for gas torpedos. Next on the list is Reefbacks, these are Leviathan class creatures that have reef like back (who would`ve guessed (: ). I was unsure should I mention them here
or no, but most of the people as far as I know don`t look at them as leviathans, but rather as friendly neighbours. And last on the list are jellyrays who are just waaay too peacefully looking that I spend a lot of time with them. It`s one of those
feelings I can`t explain well enough, that`s why I put `em up here with these 3 recognisables. And Sea threaders are mostly peacfull as long as you don`t come any close, in that case they`ll swing at you with everything they have. They also poop.
Now for more threatening creatures. There`s quite a number of them so let`s get going: Stalkers, Sandsharks, Bonesharks, Electric Eels, Mesmers, Crabsnakes, River Prowlers, Lava lizards, Crabsquids and Warpers. If I missed any don`t blame, I can`t keep track of all of them now can I? So let`s get started. Stalkers are most probably first predators you are going too meet. They aren`t too dangerous as long as you don`t aproach them, buuut you will need too since they drop important material so vehicles, the stalker tooth. Oh well, you`l at least learn yourself they aren`t the most dangerous. Next are Bonesharks, they are not any more dangerous than stalkers are, but they don`t drop anything and they deal a bit more damage, so it`s best to stay away from them. Electric Eels pretty much the same,only with electricity, but I think although i`m not sure if its true, they may sap away power from vehicles when they hit them, but I never checked that or payed attention to it, just trying to keep this interesting.
Oops, kinda forgot to include Sandsharks before eels, oh well, Sandsharks aren`t all that more dangerous than Stalkers but they do know how to Jumpscare you, cause as the name sugests it, they hide in the sand jumping out every once in a while.
Next on the list is probably most creepy boy, erm fish. When you come close to him or any other creature, he`ll hypnotise it in coming in closer until you are you close enough. Then he`ll open his face up and bite ya, but the way he is that
he hypnotise technology as well because in case you scan him, you`ll see PDA saying nice things about Mesmer. Now let`s get onto the Crabsnakes, they can only be found in 1 biome, I wil cover them later so no worries, and they hide in that biomes plants
waiting to jump out on their prey. Basicly just evade them and plants, and you will be dandy, but no promises that they will evade you.
Sheesh quite the bunch aren`t they, it can`t get worse than that, can it? Well let`s see, next on the list are River prowlers. They are 1 biome exclusives as well as Crabsnakes. They are not all that dangerous because I doubt you will go close to them at all as the biome they are in won`t be getting out too much if you are going for the story but if you to scan them, hey i`m not stoping you, also take care. ;) And Lava lizards, they are located in the last biome in the game and again threat is the same as any other fish so far if you get too close, but you will have to pass them cause you need to go through one tunnel in order to progress story, where there is quite the number of them. They can also be very helpfull if you have Lava Larvae on your vehicle(Worms that drain power off your vehicles) they will eat them without harming the vessel. And they can dive into the Lava and get sort of lava shield on their backs. Ok they might be a bit more dngerous than what I credited to them...
Next one the list are 2 of most dangerous creatures. First of Crabsquids, they squids that I don`t know why are they compared to crabs, well probably cause of tentacles that look like crab legs. But I think i`ll notice first their head rather then legs as its covered in some sort
of membrain making it look like a brain. And if you think they are on a level of any of the other creatures you are sorely mistaken. First they are huuuuuuuuuuuge as hell. When you are in you submersible, you might not notice but when you get out.. Hoo boy. Next on the list of bad things is
that from their head brain thing they can pop out small area of effect EMP disabling your vehicles for a couple of seconds, and then they will attack mindlessly. Those attack deal a lot of damage so be carefull. But something comendble about them would be their sound,
still haven`t credite details in this game which I will and sounds are importnat here. And the most dangerous species are Warpers. Guess what, they are not fully biological creatures, they were made by the precursor who we found about in story to kill any living being infected by
the incurable disease known as Karar. They are very intelegent being you will encounter as they can communicate amongst each others, which we hear in couple of radio broadcasts. Now why would they attack us, we don`t have such disease, well you`l find out in story part of this
review.
Trust me this fellas ain`t nothing because, do you remember that Leviathan class creatures that I mention back at reefbacks? Well there is 4 of these Leviathans not including reefbacks, which 3 of them are EXTREMLY dangerous.
Those are: Reaper Leviathan, Ghost Leviathan, Sea Dragon Leviathan, and Sea Emperor. Reaper Leviathan is the first kind that you will encounter while exploring around crash site of your ship or deeper waters. They can grab you inside your sea moth,
wiggle you around and destroy it in 2 hits, and as that wasn`t back enough, they can gulp you in 1 bite, extremly hard to kill and best not to attempt at all. Next is Ghost Leviathan which are just long eels with membrain around themselves, but with
their heads they can ram you easily, they don`t do as much damage as reapers but they are equaly dangerous. You`l encounter young ghost leaviathans first off, but if you travel far enough to the end of the map or labeled as the 'Dead Zone' in game you
will encounter 3 more adult ghost leaviathans which let me tell you is thrilling and scary as hell so if you go deeper than what you wanted, be prepared to lose a shit or 2 if one is docked inside of Cyclops. Sea dragons are equaly bad as last 2 with a big AND.
And part is that they spit barage of fireballs at you UNDERWATER!! I mean come on. Luckily there`s only 2 of them in the game in last biome at the depth of 1300m or so. And last but not least, the most peacfull and the most intelegent being on the planet beside you human,
Sea Emperor. They are leaviathan class but they can comunicate telepathicly with you. Not everyone can hear them, as you are only one who heard call of the last sea emperor on the planet.
And now honorable mention to the greatest fish and more importantly friend who was there for you, it`s one and only except there is like 4 of them, Cuddlefish! Cuddlefish is a fish that is almost extinct. You can only find 4 of its eggs throughout the game as they are
in state of stasis. Putting those eggs in the large aquarium in which you can put any egg that will hatch into fish. Once they grow they will be as pets, because they are highly inteligent, friendly and lovable. If you aproch them you can order them to follow you or stay in place, ofcourse he`ll swim
around the area you told him to stay, so that would be best idea when you go exploring, because trust its heartbreaking if he dies. Also you can play with him the same way, just aproach him and press play button, you`l give him a treat, pet him and even high five him. Ofcourse
when it`s time to leave the planet you will have to say goodbye to him which is second sadest thing in this game. All in all 4 of them is great company to have, and he has stole hearts of many people.
