Crabsquid: Difference between revisions

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 Crabsquid is an in-development life form belonging to the fauna category. It can be found in the Northern Blood Kelp Zone.

Appearance

The Crabsquid's main body has two layers; a translucent, bulbous sac resembling a comb jelly's body, and a shimmering, brown green body similar to that of a real life squid's mantle, albeit being covered with an outer shell or exoskeleton

The Crabsquid's head consists of two pairs of large eyes and an oddly shaped mandible below them.

The Crabsquid's ten limbs are brown-colored and smooth. Some of them have pointed tips, others have fins, and the two shortest ones near its mouth form a pair of small pincers.

Behaviour

The Crabsquid swims aimlessly around on its own, or moves slowly on the seabed with its limbs. Upon being approached, the creature will launch an attack, removing 40% of the player's healthbar. It can also be observed catching and eating smaller fauna.

Similiar to the Bone Shark, the Crabsquid is attracted to light, and will follow certain light sources, meaning that it can be distracted using lights from the Cyclops, Seamoth, or flares.

If the player approaches the Crabsquid in the Seamoth, the creature follow and push the submersible, but will not damage it.

The Crabsquid frequently emits loud, echoing clicks for the purpose of echolocation.

Trivia

Early animations shows the Crabsquid has the ability to swim, walk and perform a special "blast attack".^[1]
The sounds the Crabsquids emit are similar to those of the MUTOs from the 2014 film Godzilla.
