The Dunes is a biome located west from Lifepod 5, on the edge of the map, bordering one of the Grassy Plateaus, Sea Treader's Path, one of the Safe Shallows, both of the Blood Kelp Zones, the Northwestern Mushroom Forest and the Crater Edge.

Spoiler alert: The following section contains story related material.

The Dunes also harbors a crater from a meteor impact, which an Alien Cache can be found,and a large sinkhole, which can be found near a Wreck.

Wreck 6 is found within the Dunes, having seemingly slid down the sandy dunes from the Northwestern Mushroom Forest.

Another, smaller Wreck is also found in the Dunes, this time near the Sea Treader's Path border.

An Alien Vent Entrance Point is found in the Dunes.

One of the five Sea Emperor Juveniles can be found here after the Sea Emperor Leviathan Eggs have been hatched.

Description

The Dunes features vast, sandy plains and dunes, sometimes littered with various types of rock structures. It is also home to many dangerous types of Fauna, the most notable threat being the eight Reaper Leviathans that patrol the open spaces of the biome.

Even in the daytime, the Dunes are quite dark and murky, making it difficult to see threats. It is recommended to keep track of where the Reaper Leviathans reside and give those areas a wide berth.

If building a base in the Dunes, a scanner room is incredibly useful. Not only can it be used to scan for resources, but it can also be used to keep track of the Reaper leviathans in the vicinity. This is especially effective with a Scanner Room HUD chip. <tabber> Resources=
