Subnautica Below Zero Creatures In Real Life! | Creature Counterparts

[@randompopsiclecat7012]

So basically if a mad scientist combined some creatures on earth, made them larger and more aggressive, we would basically have subnautica

[@Dung30n]

once the polar icecaps melt, several coastal cities will become subnautica

[@redoktober8164]

I personally think that the shadow leviathan is inspired from the black dragonfish for its use of its black skin to blend in with the darkness of the ocean, can use bioluminescence for attracting prey, communication and hiding

[@Coolmancary]

I looked it up thinking it was gonna be some kind of beastly apex predator and it ended up being like 2 inches long

[@kathrynmccauley5570]

He somehow managed to talk about the chelicerate without pointing out that it is basically a giant shrimp

[@raymondblair59]

the noot fish is also probably inspired by the slingjaw wrasse! it’s best to see in video, but basically they look like an entirely normal fish up until they spot prey, when they go SCHLOOP and their jaws/mouth shoots out to catch prey. the american paddlefish also kind of does this, but they naturally have a long nose and inside get a wide mouth. ALSO, the oarfish ( the main inspiration for the reaper leviathan ) can also do it, just not to the same level. EDIT: i finished the video and i’m SHOCKED this wasn’t mentioned: the shadow leviathan is definitely inspired by the black dragonfish as well! although really small in real life, the black dragonfish is almost as pitch black as the shadow leviathan, and they have little bioluminescent spots on their cheeks sort of like the shadow leviathan does too! they were also one of the main inspirations for the alien from the Alien moves. the inspiration is a bit more obvious when you look back on the concept art for the shadow leviathan!

[@otaldogrimm6362]

"This is the jellyfish" Very good explanation

[@sanchu6335]

[@foofoo1445]

The Brute Sharks reminds me of the Tigrex from the MH series, like they have similar color schemes, and Tigrex is a "brute wyvern". And the Chilecerate looks like a fish that's got a crab claw as mouth.

[@Zevox90]

6:34 Don't say obvious! I thought they would have been arctic wolves! In the PDA it says they're pack hunters, like wolves. Arctic wolves are also white, as to camouflage so they can sneak up on potential prey. Although their AI is more like a bear since they don't normally form groups while chasing you

[@claylilac]

"Despite alien features like the rows of razor-sharp teeth in the beak" IRL penguins actually have sharp bristle-like teeth along the inside of their beak and on their tongue to better grip and swallow prey. I don't see why people find penguins cute, they're a spawn of satan.

[@legatelanius9210]

I went on a boat to South Africa (yes there are penguins there) and they ovverun the ship until the met the airhorns (yes airhorns)

[@thatbeast9942]

Personally, I feel like the Chilecerate head is more closely resembling that of a whales skull, just smashed up a little and the inside much more like a Beluga's mouth. The body is also very close to a dolphin body and similar acting to that of a dolphin, in the sense of it being very flexible.
