Fauna

Fauna are life forms found all over the world of Subnautica, from the deepest darkest depths to the vibrant safe shallows

There are a large variety of fauna, ranging from eels that use bio electricity to incapacitate predators and hunt, to heavily armored predators that hide in the sand, waiting to ambush any creatures that may swim too close to what lurks in the sand.
