See behind the scene's by taking a look at my Patreon! ➡️ / aletho
The Glow Whale is one of Subnautica's oldest creatures, but not for the reason you might think! Today we study the Glow Whale, covering its key features, habitat, reproduction and possibly an evil plan.

I love the fact that the blue whale is bigger then any other living creature that lives or has ever lived. It's just astounding how big it really is.

Kinda crazy really, it evens even bigger than dinosaur era creatures!

The glow whales are like below zeros reefbacks, whenever you see them in the distance they just bring a sort of calm to whatever expedition you’re on. And what was that about the penglings hm?

[@iAletho]

The sights of home... and nothing, nothing about penglings...

[@kirbyx2573]

The Glow Whale is a beautiful Creature. They are really cool! Didn't know that they are on the smaller side of Leviathans! Thats neat to know! Also being able to hitch a ride on it is awesome haha!

[@iAletho]

Haha yes they are Kirby! Actually one of the smaller creatures in the game :)

[@mickys8065]

@@iAletho smaller leviathans right? since biters and bleeders would beg to differ on smaller creatures.

[@iAletho]

@mickys8065 yeah leviathans :)

[@TV-MA.x_x.]

I know some people hated it but I for one loved seeing more conventional creatures in subnautica because it tells you what some of our fauna would ever look like if it were ever to be teleported into the world of subnautica.

[@Cxycer]

You are super underrated! The quality of your videos is amazing, looking forward to your Subnautica 3 content in some years!

[@iAletho]

Thanks Cxycer! Glad you like them :)

[@Chad_Wick]

i got below zero recently and i picked up a pengling and started to look at another screen for a sec and when i looked back the bigger one smacked me for picking it up i laughed for like 10 minutes

I love this series, are you ever gonna do any Non-Leviathans? Or creatures that are close to the Leviathans, like the SquidShark?

[@Mrgatterson]

I like that you say pod instead of group or herd because a pod is what a group of whales are called🐳

[@Fulgrim2]

Actually got to see whales on a trip once, was really nice. Am I the only one who isn’t a monster when it comes to using just small fish and plants for the bio-reactors?

It's actually seems much more efficient to use farmed fruit, that's what I do anyway!

I absolutely LOVE SUBNAUTICA!!! I wish they would make 25 SUBNAUTICA games. I would buy each and everyone of them for 100 bucks each with pleasure. As long as they were about 25% bigger than the 1st one and they all have original stories. Fantastic game!

[@Foamamusic]

There’s many ‘canceled creatures’ that are then used in below zero, like the rock puncher.

[@monsterhandlergabe]

Would the glow whale have to eat something bioluminescent or do the fish it eat have the chemicals for one

[@iAletho]

I don't think they would need to eat something bioluminescent to glow, although the chemicals would probably help!

[@monsterhandlergabe]

Makes sense

[@Splatfan92]

Are you gonna do funny squid shark man? The squidshark is a leviathan in all of our hearts.

It's on the list Splatfan!

Wasn't the squidshark the smallest leviathan currently in game?

[@iAletho]

The PDA doesn't include the squid shark under 'leviathan' in the data bank, but does says its leviathan in style, I suppose its a matter of opinion due to the conflicting comments, but imo I wouldn't consider it a full leviathan :)

I always wished they were a bit bigger. Reefbacks whilst peaceful are still quite imposing especially the bigger ones, these guys never did that for me. They are beautiful tho and I hope they along with reefbacks return in the next game.
