Subnautica: Reaper Leviathan Observatory (Crash Zone)

Aurora's crash left a trail of destruction known as the Crash Zone. This massive debris field is still shrouded in murky waters which reduces visibility more than in any other zone by a wide margin. Although it virtually has no flora, it's very rich in resources and high-tier scannable fragments, as well as supply crates. However the crash has attracted a big number of one of the most dangerous predators in Subnautica: Reaper Leviathans. Here they can ambush their prey quite easily because of the low visibility environment. Nowhere else however do these beasts swim as close to the surface, and because of that, this particular place provides an opportunity to observe them from a surface level.... even so with caution.

To be honest Reapers are actually very Beautiful Creatures. Their biology is so interesting, No gills but a fish like creature that means it breathes air. Effectively blind and the only way they can know what's around them is by roaring that's just fascinating to me. There's also something we don't know about the reapers that live around the Aurora. We don't know where they live, What I'm trying to say is we don't know what their habitat looked like, That means it could be up to interpretation on where these creatures thrive. There's so much about reapers that will never know that's why I liked them so much. Always loved the reapers always will.
