The reason Sea Dragon Leviathans live so exclusively in the Lava Zones is because their bodies are so large that they require an incredible amount of underwater pressure to keep themselves from falling apart (and also because their eggs need to be kept very warm to be incubated properly).

If a Sea Dragon Leviathan were to roam to the upper zones (Lost River and above) for too long, they'd die from depressurization, the way some deep-sea animals do when brought up.

Reaper Leviathans, however, have bodies dense enough that they can enter deeper pressure zones for some time - and they certainly do this, given they have competition for food from other Reapers, as well as the Ghosties.

So.. some of them will venture the Lost River in hopes of finding more prey in the form of Crabsquids and River Prowlers. Which, overall.. makes them an easy, nutritious target for hungry Sea Dragons who sometimes find them at these more comfortable depths.

Sea Dragons will also prey on very young Ghost Leviathans that are foolish enough to enter the Lava Zones to sate their appetites.. but leave the more grown ones alone since they're too tough to consume, and don't want to incur the wrath of these pack predators. The reason no remains of Ghost Leviathans are found is because they have no true skeleton - and Sea Dragons will eat every part of this leviathan.

Subnautica au

Subnautica au where instead of everything being water, everything is air/ high mountains.

More under the cut

In this au 4546B is a floating island above the void, held up by the large amount of magnetic rock inside the island. Most of the fauna are birds/ flying animals (and they all have 6 limbs instead of 4).

Also due to the high altitude the oxygen content in the air is low, so you would still need o2 tanks to do anything. There would be ‘lakes’ of places with high oxygen content on the mountain (safe shallows, kelp forest, grassy plateau, dunes, ect.) where you can refill o2.

Technology-wise instead of a seaglide there would be a normal glider (kind of like the one in Nausicaä and the valley of the wind) to travel, and instead of a seamoth there would be a small solar-powered plane.

I haven’t decided exactly what the different biomes will be like, but heres some of the ones ive come up with so far:

Safe shallows:

A mountainous area with o2 puddles for air and large amounts of fauna. Most of the flora is the same except for that there is no coral, and that there are ‘trees’ on the mountainside.

These are some of the fauna in the shallows.

Peeper: pretty normal; four legs and big eyes but otherwise pretty average bird. It is a herbivore.

Bladderbird: inspired by the irl frigatebird, it has a large throat for keeping in o2 for longer periods of time; it has four wings for longer and more precise movements when flying. It has long bioluminescent feathers to attract mates. It is a herbavore

Boomerangbird: once again pretty average. It has 4 legs and a long tail, with a large glowing feathers at the end to attract bugs for food.

Gaseopod: inspired by the irl mountain goat the gaseopod is a mammalian animal with fur, six legs, and the same poisonous pod things as the og, although it rarely releases them in favor of using the gasses released by it to keep most predators (and other gaseopods) away from it.

Mountains/ web zone:

The ‘mountain biome’ is not actually a mountain, There is a mountain but this is not it. Instead the mountains are thin strings of rock between 1-30 meters wide connected to each other. Inside the rocks are where the local fauna of reapers and bonesharks live and nest. (Ik bonesharks don’t actually like in the mountain biome but they do now)

Reapers: the reapers run through these rock strings and are often not seen coming until they are either in your face or diving from hundreds of meters away to hunt you. Reapers are the reason no other major fauna live there. The reapers have two pairs of wings and two legs, with sharp beaks. They are around 40 meters long. They hunt their prey by getting 100-300 meters above them before diving down, then slowing down at the last moment to grab their pray and fly off with them. It is thought they used to just crush things normally but due to the bonesharks evolving stronger shells to survive they now just grab them to bring them higher up (600 or so meters) and then dropping them to get past their shell.

Boneshark: bonesharks are nine meter long insectoid animals with anger issues that live in the web zone, bulb zone, craig fields, and floating islands. They have a strongs shell and attack on sight, although the species that inhabit the ‘mountain’ biome has a thicker shell to avoid reapers they remain mostly the same to the other bonesharks. They have six legs that they use to run around their environment and chase their prey.

Sadly no drawing for reapers :(

Edit: made one

This is more of a concept drawing cuz idk whats going on in the deep grand reef, but i made four drawings and y’all are gonna see all of them

More Subnautica AU art I did, not the best with lighting but I tried (also have up on her arm).

The fourth one is a huge WIP kind of a doodle that got out of hand. Gonna go over and do it digitally to make it look better.

But boneshark Siren!! I love how she turned out, originally wasn't going to Sirenify her until a friend mentioned bonesharks and my brain kinda latched on lol

Subnautica Leviathan and Boneshark

[captainamerica77]

I had to make this because I have like 11 bonesharks in my aquarium. And then one who I let loose around my base and who now defends my base....His name is Grim.
