Sea Emperor Leviathan

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:Class 1 Fauna The Sea Emperor is a life form belonging to the fauna category. It is still under development, and is only spawnable by using the Debug Console Commands.

Once fully implemented, the Sea Emperor is expected to be passive or defensive, and to have a role in the game's story.

It is said in precursor texts that the captive Sea Emperor is the last of its species. Three hundred and fifteen escaped from containment, all except one were exterminated. The survivor is a mother of four eggs.

Appearance

The Sea Emperor is colossal in size, having a stocky body entirely armored and predominantly pale brown in color, with a few shades of green. Its tentacles are adorned with bright cyan bioluminescent spots.

The creature's head shape is quite peculiar (see "Trivia" below for more), featuring two glowing green-tipped antennae on top of its snout, two large mandibles on each side of its rather small mouth, and a glowing hollow in-between its mandibles. It seems to possess four binocular eyes.

The Sea Emperor's posterior consists of seven long, yet slim tentacles ending with large tentacular clubs, with the largest being in the center, surrounded by the other smaller ones.

Unlike the Sea Dragon Leviathan, the Sea Emperor doesn't have true graspers; Instead, its forelimbs are two massive, paddle-like arms.

Behavior

The Sea Emperor will use its tentacles to propel itself through the water, and is currently capable of removing 80% of health from the player.
