The Sea Treader - Subnautica's Smallest Leviathan

[@ΒασίληςΒλάχος-τ3κ]

While they may not look that big when looking at them from a first person perspective and from above, if you look at a size comparison they are absolutely massive, and very much deserve the title of leviathan. Also, these animals make getting shale outcrops completely trivial. I'm more in need of titanium than those most of the time

[@iAletho]

Yeah being roughly 4 times the size of an elephant is definitely no pip squeak! xD

[@fatuousinnovatorofsadness4640]

Go see them in VR. Oh god just do anything you can in VR, it's incredible. Even the seamoth feels like an absolute beast of a machine in that perspective. It's also so weird seeing the seaglide or even the scanner. Suddenly you realize the seaglide is the size of your entire body, and the scanner is literally the size of your head.

[@jonathansmith2438]

Yeah I heard something about the scale in subnautica being off, so the reaper, which is about as long as the Statue of Liberty is tall doesn’t really seem that big

[@kirbyx2573]

The Sea Treaders are really cool. I built a small base there to gather the materials they dig up, which has helped me a lot building a lot! I think they are cool. I wish they were in more bioms, but it makes sense that they are, where they are. Great Video yet again Aletho!

[@iAletho]

Thanks Kirby, I bet it was cool seeing them out the window all the time!

[@Fulgrim2]

I should do that next time I play!

[@WCE107]

​@@iAlethothe sea treader is as long as an ampeel and a crabsnake, wouldn't that mean that they would both be classified as a small leviathan?

I couldn’t agree more😄

[@BeaIsBi]

Can I learn how to get my sea moth back from the aurora when a reaper leviathan is right where I need to go and I saw its tail sticking out of the water? Should I just make another sea moth, ditch that with the reaper, get my original sea moth back, and book it back to my escape pod?

[@Train_lizard]

Sea treader is most definitely my favorite leviathan. Provides resources, relatively chill, and smart enough to keep their kids protected at all times? YES. I imagine their main predators are warpers and the occasional ghost leviathan that wants a break from filter feeding

[@alternativename-18h]

I don't think warpers eat and the ghosts have too small mouths, so they are effectively an "apex predator" without being a predator.

[@Mr_Lemon_the_lemon]

​@@alternativename-18h theoretically ghost leviathan could ram into sea treader and massacrate him, and then eat his remains

[@lordofthehawks]

@@alternativename-18h it has a muscular inner section. It could hypothetically constrict or it could ram/bite. And then consume remains peice by piece. Also he means warpers cus they attack everything and they can warp the crabs over the side of the edge where they will fall into the ghost swarm.

Let's GOOO. My favorite Leviathan right there, a mineral farm.

[@iAletho]

It was one of my most requested creatures to cover!

[@ShadowLeviathan1]

​@@iAlethodo a shadow leviathan documentary i dare you

[@thomasdevlin5825]

The sea treader has always been one of my favorites. By calling them a leviathan they made the title surprisingly attainable, just going by size alone they really aren't that big, many whales would be considered leviathan class organisms, and since most of their size comes from the length of their legs I imagine they can't be particularly heavy, so if you added mass into the equation you might be able to fit even more earth creatures into leviathan class

[@yoshitotem]

After knowing about these guys for some time, i finally encountered them in game for the first time few days back, it was quite the experience.

[@vizthex]

it's also the one of 3 creature in the crater to walk around instead of swimming, with the others being Cave and Blood Crawlers.

[@iAletho]

Legs really aren't fashionable on 4546B are they!

[@oxtheox494]

@@vizthex yep, ik they are from a different game just didn't read the comment properly thought it said in subnautica instead of just the crater. also below zero isn't a particularly bad game, it just isn't better than subnautica. if it released first then people wouldn't think it was bad, they would just think subnautica is better.

[@sherrykathman3309]

This just gave me an idea for a sea base. Build one by the Sea Treaders Path and then fuel it with their waste. Plus have easy access to shale outcroppings too. But I wonder what would happen if a base was built to block the path. Would they attack it, go around it, or just walk through it?

[@iAletho]

At least it has green...? brown? Energy!

[@thevalarauka101]

probably go around it? I know it's possible to trap a sea treader with base components

Honestly the sea trader pace is the best place for a base(maybe). Just trap them first with I compartments(that will take a lot of resources though), use their waste for bioreactors, and use the materials they dig up for your base.

[@danieldickson8591]

One of the most alien-looking of Subnautica's fauna. Things like this really remind us that we're on another planet with a whole different ecosystem. Subnautica's devs combined vivid imagination with scientific logic.

[@DrCarchar]

I built a small base in the grand reef to watch the sea treaders as I think they are so cool and make the ecosystem feel alive with the sea treaders walking around and doing their thing while you’re fighting for your life against 4 reapers

[@ControlNumber]

I gotta say, this series is charming (the subtle hint to watch the next episodes included, haha). It reminds me of, like, Johnathon Bird, Steve Irwin, the Kratt brothers, etc.

The Sea Treader was the only creature in Subnautica is didn't encounter during my only playthrough of the game, which sucks because these guys are really cool looking.

[@flipflop3953]

For gameplay purposes what if there was a creature in the game that mimicked the sea treader being unable to tell the difference from above so when you go in for ores you’ll get attacked by it and to tell the difference you either swim behind it (since it won’t have legs) or shoot a stasis shot at it

I built a really cool Base in the Sea treaders path It's a crossroads or Toll Stop. With a glass bridge spanning over an area that The Leviathan's pass under.

[@fablocko4374]

The size of animals is not measured by their volume or longest dimension, but by their weight. In addition to having a considerable size, the fact that this creature can dig up sediments only by walking UNDER water implies that it is heavy, really heavy, so it must easily have the "size" close of a reaper and far superior to a crabsquid

I suppose they have niche quite similar to boars in Europe in ploving seafloor they help in movement of nutrients.

[@TacticaLLR]

Great vid!

[@piotrwisniewski70]

They always reminded me of striders from half life 2, which is interesting considering that striders might've been some sea creature before combine modifications

[@orangebot_4211]

Probably not the canon reason, but I find it interesting to believe the sparse reef might be barren due to sea treaders clearing out all the plant life.

[@s.m.2523]

While I like he genral idea and design of the sea traders, they really should have a differerent trump separated from their legs. Sure feeding limbs do exist in anture but they're usually pretty dedicated for that specififc role. I could be wrong but mouth legs don't strike as really structuraly sound, y'know ? For a leg you want solid structure capable of suppoting the animal weight (and that's a big carapaced boy so you want lots of support), for a mouth and oesopahgus, you want an empty tube, and given the quantity of food that thing had to gobble, probaly a big one., and dedicated mucles to make your food move through that long tube. Doesn't quite fit with what we see.

[@adamkhalifa4148]

What’s a leviathan you want to see in subnautica 3 ?

I'd quite like to see a giant squid like creature!

[@anyamusume253]

I did some research as part of my method of spawning things and seeing what they do, and found out these things. A. 0 sense of self preservation. I spawned a whole herd, and they marched straight into the void. B. These things will keep walking till they can’t no more
