[@ColWilBald]

Should be noted that the only reason they're this big is because of how the field of view works in this game. A combination of oversized fov, being underwater with no size reference, and first person view makes everything look smaller. Because of that they bumped everything up a bit. That's why despite being so big that it can swallow you whole, the Reaper only damages you. It doesn't LOOK like it can swallow you whole.

[@MuppetsSh0w]

The only reason they are this big is because this video is complete bs.

Bruh when gargantuan lives there were animals similar sized to him and maybe bigger this skeleton has a milion of years

[@paytonallen1027]

The world would’ve had a lot more leviathan class creatures and more in numbers too. The skeleton is aged at 3 million years old. A lot changes in that time. Also keep in mind that even as recently as the kharaa outbreak things have changed. There was probably a lot more life before the outbreak but that bacterium is devastating

[@ktm1125]

It existed in the days before kaharaa bacteria, and it lived outside the crater. In game we see the remains of a previous leviathan that was similar to a snail, with a lenght of 1200 (about as long as the aurora). Meaning with time the leviathans got exponentialy smaller.

Well it’s crazy to think about in a realistic point of view like imagining yourself in that situation in RL. Cause according to their sizes pretty much all of the aggressive creatures should be able to OHK you realistically. The stalker could literally bite you in half or whole if it tried and don’t even get me started on the sandshark or the bone shark. Not to mention creatures that don’t even necessarily bite you like the amp eel, it prolly puts out enough current for its size that even coming remotely close to would guarantee your demise never-mind touching it. And these are creatures that you’d have to encounter on your journey to survive and find a way off the planet like the Crab Squids im sure their organic EMP emissions aren’t exactly good for your health. Hell even the crab snake, when it lunges out of the mushrooms that’s a wrap, GG, no way the PC’s arms or yours are stopping those pincer mandible things from impaling you/him or at least wrangling you around enough to the point that some of your scuba gear knocks loose and you end up drowning and getting eaten anyway.
