}}The '''Ghost Leviathan''' is a [[Leviathan Class Organisms|leviathan class]] [[fauna]] species and adult form of the [[Ghost Leviathan Juvenile]]s. It is the second largest aggressive <!-- Note the aggressive before changing --> creature of ''Subnautica'' (the largest being the [[Sea Dragon Leviathan]] and the third being the [[Ghost Leviathan Juvenile]]).


Three adult Ghost Leviathans spawn on the map (not counting the infinite number found in the [[Crater Edge]]): two in the [[Grand Reef]], and one in the [[Blood Kelp Zone|Northern Blood Kelp Zone]].
The '''Ghost Leviathan''' is an unimplemented [[Life Forms|life form]] belonging to the [[fauna]] category that will possibly be added in future updates of ''[[Subnautica]]'' after version 1.0.<ref>https://trello.com/c/KZfxszHN</ref>


If the player enters the Crater Edge, a single adult Ghost Leviathan spawns in. If the player stays in the Crater Edge for 40 seconds, a second Ghost Leviathan will spawn. If the player stays in the area for another 40 seconds, a third and final Ghost Leviathan spawns in. When/If the player kills them, they will respawn. They will all pursue the player until the player returns to the playable area, upon which they will all retreat.
== Appearance ==
The '''Ghost Leviathan''' has a transparent outer covering, over a blue inner body which features many dark blue stripes, four yellow, [[Bioluminescence|bioluminescent]] eyes, six small fins on the torso section, a small, decorative sail sits on top of the head, and two long structures protruding from either side of its head which bear similarities to the blades of a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammerhead_shark hammerhead shark]. It has a rectangular mouth, and a long body that tapers to a point.

The [[Giant Cove Tree]] is the nesting ground of this leviathan species (Although they are not present around the tree), with its massive glowing bulbs being their eggs which are blue and purple. According to PDA scan entries of the Cove Tree, the eggs were laid there when the tree was small, and the branches have grown around the eggs to protect them until conditions are right to hatch.
== Future Plans ==

*The '''Ghost Leviathan''' may be added to the game at some point after the game's full release.
The Ghost Leviathans' life cycle begins in the Lost River as juveniles, they consume the [[Ghostray|Ghostrays]] and [[River Prowler|River Prowlers]] and potentially other juveniles. As the leviathans mature and become too large for their home, they migrate to the open, surface world biomes such as the [[Grand Reef]] and [[Blood Kelp Zone]], consuming [[Ampeel|Ampeels]] and [[Crabsquid|Crabsquids]] in the Northern Blood Kelp, and shoals of fish and possibly even [[Sea Treader Leviathan|Sea Treader Leviathans]] in the Grand Reef, until eventually migrating to the [[Crater Edge]], roaming freely in the open water and constantly growing larger until they die.<ref name="GR">http://imgur.com/pqiy0N6</ref><ref>http://imgur.com/8QBPgcc ''Dated July 6, 2017.''</ref> Despite being much smaller than the [[Sea Emperor Leviathan]], the Ghost Leviathan's eggs can be far larger, capable of growing to sizes far too large for the creature to lay, suggesting that the eggs can grow drastically after being laid.
**Should it be implemented, the '''Ghost Leviathan '''may be within the void, as a means to prevent players from going off the map.<ref>https://trello.com/c/b01KasIo</ref>

==Appearance==
The Ghost Leviathan has a soft, bioluminescent, transparent outer membrane covering a muscular, blue, inner body which features many darker blue stripes, 12 yellow, [[Bioluminescence|bioluminescent]] eyes as well as six, possibly vestigial fins on the torso section. A small sail sits on top of the head, and two long structures protruding from either side of its head which bear similarities to the cephalofoil of a [[Wikipedia:Hammerhead shark|hammerhead shark]]. It has a rectangular mouth with a glowing barbule lure beneath. Its long body tapers to a point.

The outer body is transparent, making the smaller, inner body visible. The inner body is long and thin, and covered in pulsating, bioluminescent orange stripes with many orange tipped protrusions ending with blinking bioluminescent orange glows. Unlike the outer body, the inner body has a distinct, thin neck joining the head and body. As the leviathan moves through the water, it leaves trails behind it.

==Behavior==
To attack a target, it will spiral up and charge. When charging, it will open up its mouth and make a loud, echoing screech. If it successfully attacks, it will do 84% damage to the player and swim some distance away, as if losing interest.

Adults are able to push the Cyclops and either drag it, or overturn it. If the player is walking around the Cyclops when the Adult begins to push (for example, if they are trying to put out fires caused by an attack), and the Leviathan rolls the submarine over, the player can be killed instantly upon colliding with the walls or ceiling. When killed, the Ghost Leviathans that are within the Crater do not respawn. However, the adults that reside within the Crater Edge will continue to respawn.

This creature is approaching the size limit for sustainable organic lifeforms, and has been designated leviathan class. Adults of the species have been encountered exclusively around the edges of the volcanic crater which supports life on this part of the planet, and react with extreme aggression on approach.

1. Hammerhead:<br />
Cartilaginous extensions of the creature's skull form a hammerhead which protects the ghost leviathan as it performs devastating ramming attacks.

2. Jaws:<br />
While fully capable of tearing through the flesh of any creature in range, all evidence indicates that mature ghost leviathans feed on microscopic lifeforms in the waters around the edges of the inhabited zone. Their vicious attacks on interlopers to their domain are not predatory in nature, but territorial. A creature so vast requires a huge expanse of water to satisfy its daily calorie requirements.

3. Torso:<br />
Its muscled interior body is surrounded by a translucent outer membrane, suggesting adaptation for deep, low-light environments. When threatened it can tense its entire body before lashing out with incredible speed.

4. Lifecycle:<br />
Probable migratory behavior. This specimen was likely born far from the area where it was encountered.

Assessment: Extreme threat - Avoid the crater edge

</group> </infobox> The Ghost Leviathan is a leviathan class fauna species and adult form of the Ghost Leviathan Juveniles. It is the second largest aggressive creature of Subnautica (the largest being the Sea Dragon Leviathan and the third being the Ghost Leviathan Juvenile). Three adult Ghost Leviathans spawn on the map (not counting the infinite number found in the Crater Edge): two in the Grand Reef, and one in the Northern Blood Kelp Zone. If the player enters the Crater Edge, a single adult Ghost Leviathan spawns in. If the player stays in the Crater Edge for 40 seconds, a second Ghost Leviathan will spawn. If the player stays in the area for another 40 seconds, a third and final Ghost Leviathan spawns in. When/If the player kills them, they will respawn. They will all pursue the player until the player returns to the playable area, upon which they will all retreat.

The Ghost Leviathan has a soft, bioluminescent, transparent outer membrane covering a muscular, blue, inner body which features many darker blue stripes, 12 yellow, bioluminescent eyes as well as six, possibly vestigial fins on the torso section.

This creature is approaching the size limit for sustainable organic lifeforms, and has been designated leviathan class. Adults of the species have been encountered exclusively around the edges of the volcanic crater which supports life on this part of the planet, and react with extreme aggression on approach.

Trivia

  • The adult Ghost Leviathans found in the void are roughly 1.15x as large as the adults that are found in the crater, given that the entry of Ghost Leviathan Juveniles states that their growth "shows no sign of stopping" it is possible that this species grows continuously throughout their lifespan.
