Fauna

Fauna are life forms found all over the world of Subnautica, from the deepest depths to the dense forests of kelp.

There are a large variety of fauna, ranging from eels that use bio electricity to incapacitate predators and hunt to heavily armoured predators that hide in the sand, waiting to ambush any creatures that come across it.
