What if there was a opening in the red crystal cave that lead out to the void. So the male shadow leviathans can crawl out to void to find there true love that will enventaully eat him alive. What a great relationship between shadow leviaithan.
An apex predator as a parasite, if it were to leech off the ice dragon that means it’s not even that high up on the food chain. Wtf is bigger than that???!??!?!
The Reaper is loud (has to be in order to see you) and has a creepy face, almost like a xenomorph. The Shadow is silent and blends very well with its environment (hence the name), and only really makes noise when it SEES you. In my opinion, they are both scary.
Reaper is that strong bully who tries to beat the sht out of you and shadow leviathan is that sociopathic guy who stabs you at night because you looked at him weirdly
@@magoo672 Ghost laviathans are usually in the void, possibly the shadow ones were more adapted further into the void an eventually inhabited the below zero area?
I remember when I first scanned the Chelicerate and thought "oh the other leviathans are gonna be easy to scan!".... it didn't end well when I got out of my seatruck to scan the Shadow Leviathan.
How the hell did you scans the chelicerate so easily? I died like 7 times until I got the full scan. I’m very familiar with the kill animation now because of it.
To scan Shadow Leviathan easily, make him eat your prawn suit while you are on It, and in the moment the "eating animation" start, get off the prawn and scan the maximum you can, then fix the prawn and repeat. That's how a made It.
Ah the shadow leviathan. At first I thought it would act like a reaper and slowly make its way over to attack but to my surprise, it barreled straight towards my seatruck and was on my tail for the entire 30 seconds that I was in the crystal caves. Now, I'm kinda scared to go back there, yet that's where I have to go In order to get kyanite.
The way the head is shaped, it’s meant to break through ice. Like ships with pointed bows, for example. Meaning that this creature was most likely just recently driven down the darker depths seeing as there’s no ice in either of it’s biomes. That raises the question, what larger predator, of predators, drove it to go deeper and develop bioluminescence? Seeing as the adaptation would have to be fairly recent
That doesn’t make too much sense. Ur assuming that the shape is for breaking ice but what purpose would that serve? It states that they battle each other for mating
The shadow leviathan, being an endgame enemy, i feel like should have some special abilities similar to the sea dragon, so here are some ideas of mine. For one i feel like a cloaking ability would add to the terror factor of the leviathan, all that's visible is the water being pushed as it makes its way forward, this would definitely keep you on your toes. Another would be based on its mouth and would make sense. The acid coming out of its mouth should do corrosive damage i feel, this would make the shadow leviathan way more threatening and would make it so that the shock weapon on the sea truck isn't as overpowered as it usually is. Those are only two abilities but i think it would make the shadow leviathan a lot more interesting, as all it really has going for it right now is that it is extremely aggressive.
Hence why the Reaper Leviathan and Ghost Leviathan will always be scarier to me. The former for their loud roars, and the fact that you usually can't see them very well. The latter because they inhabit the Void, and that loud screech of theirs is something straight out of a nightmare.
Yee rn I named the tree in the first chunk of cavern and I just stare at em and chase them cause if you zap right as they bite they do zero damage and run for so long 🤣
@@theterrorofdimensions1326 The only Leviathan that scares me is the reaper and ghost a bit just by the time you get to ghost and shadow leviathan you have the stuff to deal with them but reapers you encounter with just a seamoth so you can't kill them
Imagine going down there for the first time and just seeing out of the blue a bright blue thing coming towards you and then as it gets closer you realise your fucked and your getting grabbed by that thing
First time I went to the crystal caves, I knew it was coming but couldn't find it so I got out of my prawn suit to check out the scene to see the leviathan come up below me and I shit my pants legitimately and went straight into the prawn to then be immediately grabbed by it and it destroyed the prawn suit for me to drown from running away from it
I have to say, the creatures and biomes in below zero are awesome, even the new building options (except the sea truck) are great but I miss the big open ocean of the first subnautica. It was such a great feeling getting lost there. Everything felt more manacing even if it wasn't as good looking from a design standpoint. At least that's what I think. If it had different building, lore and design I wouldn't even have touched below zero
Yeah i see it its towards the front (near the head) imagine if it was acually able to see through that even though it most definitely cant so while you were stuck in there it was just right in your face like "hi enjoying being dissolved?"
Maybe i sound like a maniac, but i watched every episode of your subnautica and below zero lore couple of times. They are just so relaxing and intersting

I imagine it started in the water, most likely much more eel - like, and some of it`s kind decided to go to the surface while others stayed at the bottom. The ones at the surface became Ice - Worms and the ones at the bottom became the modern - day Shadow Leviathans.
The fact the Shadow Leviathan has six eyes, moves in a sea snake/eel like manner, and looks very eel like, it might also be distantly related to the Gargantuan Fossil.
Apparently Reapers are one of those very rare creatures to not have eggs be confirmed in any way, so that leads me to believe that perhaps Reapers give birth. Definitely not a mental image you want to have
0:48 “So you know what to do should you ever be unfortunate enough to run into it.” Me: constantly humps my seatruck several times Also me: “this is fine”
I looooooooove Shadow Leviathan. His design is phenomenal and his name is very accurate to his behaviour. He hides in the shadows and you hear his roar but you don't know from where it will come. Amazing. And his method of feeding is really gruesome. I love to be scared of him, and to see him.
Imo the reapers are 100000x scarier. The shadow leviathan is rendered almost useless due to the terrain it is found in. Get in a prawn suit with a depth module MK 2 and a repair tool. Preferably a drill and grappling arm as well as a jet jump upgrade. Now you just go around, and if a shadow leviathan spots you, hide behind the nearest crystal formation or just take the hit and drill into it‘s mouth, from where you can go to a safe space and repair the prawn suit. Now I’m no „big tough balls made of steel“ guy. When I see a reaper leviathan I speed out of there instantly, and just seeing the subtitles „entering ecological deadzone“ makes me panic like nothing else. But the shadow leviathan is just funny to look at as it tries and fails to move through the terrain it lives in!
I think the Shadow Leviathan closely resembles an Eel rather than a snake. Eels typically go in deep and dark waters so that might also be why the SL is deep down.
If only I didn't have to wait literally an hour for it to load. And having it not crash HALF WAY THROUGH. THIS IS LITERALLY THE GAME FOR ME WAITING JUST FOR IT TO CRASH LOL :(
I just want to say that I really appreciate your videos. they help me out when I’m in a tough spot in subnautica all the time! I’ve escaped countless reapers thanks to your videos. They even helped me when I fell into the void. Thanks to your videos I managed to climb out of the void while fighting away the ghost Leviathans with my prawn suit. Keep doing what you’re doing and keep making people happy with your amazing videos!
Weak when a reaper tries to kill me I take my attacc sea moth with 3 missles and each full of missles and my inventory filled by nothing else but missles and a hint on the ending that reaper well is a lot easier to scan I will tell you that much have you seen how fun it is to see a reaper run from you
I remember going over to a friends house and him going to the crystal caverns and showing me a shadow leviathan, and I thought it was the coolest thing!
Fun fact: in his death animation they cover their face with it's mandibles, like a spiders do when they die, this proves he Has no bones inside and mandibles are controlled by blood pressure, like legs of spider. This also Means that mandibles are just a shell or exoskellet controlled by leviathan's blood
The little details such as all the spikes facing inwards to damage struggling pray like real life creatures is also a neat little thing about the design. I love Subnautica for it's attention to detail that would otherwise go unnoticed and bring a bit of a realistic feel to it.
Interesting thing to note the mating ritual; as far as I know, all other creatures on the planet reproduce asexually. This raises some questions; 1.) Does the Shadow Leviathan display sexual dimorphism? 2.) Is sexual reproduction a derived or ancestral trait in the planet's animals? 3.) Why can only the Shadow Leviathan reproduce this way?
The bottom, shiny blue part, kinda makes me think of the lava parasites that take your power in subnautica (idk why); but this leviathan kinda scares me. What scares me is how its bigger than the reaper, and darker, but the reaper beats it in spookiness slightly because the reaper has nothing to show itself besides sound, so you can’t see it from a distance, can only hear it and you only see it sometimes when it is too late
I find it so fascinating to see gigantic creatures like whale sharks or fictional leviathans that'd you'd think would rip you piece by piece, only feed on plankton.
This one if definitely one of the best looking leviathans to have ever been introduced into subnautica. Although I doubt they will ever make anything as terrifying as the reaper again. But If they would manage do to it then I’d be really happy.
Reaper: "Watch u know about rolling down in the deep" Ghost: "When your brai- " * Chelicerate enters call * Silence * Reaper left call * * Ghost left call * * sea dragon left call * * shadow left the call * Chelicerate: " Am I really the most boring Leviathan? "
This creature just extends my unwillingness to play either Subnautica games myself. It’s fricking nightmare fuel but also a beautiful creature at the same time. One of my favorite leviathans overall!
@@TheLastBacon ty btw. Your videos are like..very weird.. Like I mean they good and nice but like it gives this scary vibe and it's just so beautiful. It's hard to do that. And your a legend and an amaizing creator to do that. Maybe we could collab some day :)
I think that the shadow leviathan feeds on mainly rock punchers as their primary food source and rock punchers are very common in the crystal and fabricator caverns since they can feed off of the large amounts of rock grub that are found there It is also possible that many rockgrubs use the jade membranes as nests of sorts sine they have similar colors and glows
Well recently I've been working or reclassifying and redesigning the fauna of 4546b and so far all seems to fit in well. The Shadow Leviathan looks... VERY different to most organisms on the planet but I think I know where it would fall in. From what I have seen and classified, I think that it can shelved with the group containing the Crabsnake and Reaper Leviathan. Either as an early offshoot, or a overtly different from.
So, this probably sounds crazy, but hear me out. What if the shadow leviathan is a distant descendant of the ancient skeleton’s species from the first game? Though drastically different, the share some similarities that aren’t found in most other animals, if any at all. The ancient skeleton and shadow leviathan both have 3 pairs of eyes, whereas every other animal has one or two pairs. Also, the ancient skeleton looks as though it had many limbs, at least 10, if not more. The shadow leviathan also has many appendages, close to its mouth and head, just as with the ancient skeleton. But also, the ice worm could be a distant relative of both as well. The ice worm doesn’t have limbs or 6 eyes, but it does have armor plating like the ancient skeleton and a long body like the shadow leviathan. What if at some point in evolution, these two species split off? One to live on land/ice, and the other to swim to catch bigger prey whereas living on the bottom of the ocean led to a lack of sustaining food

Thank you very much :) You too!
Everyone's favourite leviathan
Its just a joy to be around
Haha not sure I'd say "joy"! :)
@@TheLastBacon I don’t want to hurt you. I just need to eat! 🍽
Interesting thing to note the mating ritual; as far as I know, all other creatures on the planet reproduce asexually. This raises some questions;
1.) Does the Shadow Leviathan display sexual dimorphism?
2.) Is sexual reproduction a derived or ancestral trait in the planet's animals?
3.) Why can only the Shadow Leviathan reproduce this way?
All very good questions - the only other creature I can think of that might be similar would be the reaper (unconfirmed) :)
I love your videos keep up the good work last bacon
Yay thank you very much! :)
@@TheLastBacon when are u doing shout outs
The eating animation when you talk about it’s mouth reminds me of the silent mary from pirates of the Caribbean
Oh yeah true I can see it :)
I love it that you almost answer every comment and that with 60k subscribers
Thank you :) I try to get as many as I can!
The bottom, shiny blue part, kinda makes me think of the lava parasites that take your power in subnautica (idk why); but this leviathan kinda scares me. What scares me is how its bigger than the reaper, and darker, but the reaper beats it in spookiness slightly because the reaper has nothing to show itself besides sound, so you can’t see it from a distance, can only hear it and you only see it sometimes when it is too late
Oh yeah that's a very good point about the lava larvae :) I wonder if there is a connection....
yep since Reapers are canonically blind they’ll just roar at you. i’m pretty sure it’s some form of echolocation.
Below Zero forces you to encounter aggressive leviathans more than the original
Huh is that so? That's nice :)
@@TheLastBacon Define "nice" x)
Damn, this dude replies to even the most recent comments!😄
I try to yep :)
Boy it does like 30 damage, even a reaper would do more
Shame it isn't that dangerous :)
*the shadow leviathans just chilling in the caverns*
Me who wants the entire family heads:
GET OVER HERE
Oof :) That will be a fun collection!
I find it so fascinating to see gigantic creatures like whale sharks or fictional leviathans that'd you'd think would rip you piece by piece, only feed on plankton.
Oop 15 seconds ago-
Yeah it's certainly a reassuring thought though! :)
This one if definitely one of the best looking leviathans to have ever been introduced into subnautica. Although I doubt they will ever make anything as terrifying as the reaper again. But If they would manage do to it then I’d be really happy.
They are certainly awesome looking! :)
Such a good channel you deserve way more subs
Thank you very kindly :)
While others find them terrifying, I think they make a great prey item for the Prawn Hunt.
You are the doom :D
Whoa what a Good Video! Really Fun to Watch!
Thank you kindly :)
Man.. You just earned a bloody sub.
Awesome, thank you! :)
Thanks for making a video about me! 🖤💙🖤
Yay :D Thank you for participating in it!

okay i really love shadow leviathan's swim animation, such a swooshy tail!!
Yeah they look very cool! :)
I love these videos keep up the good work👍
Thank you very much! Glad you like them :)
This creature just extends my unwillingness to play either Subnautica games myself. It’s fricking nightmare fuel but also a beautiful creature at the same time. One of my favorite leviathans overall!
That's a good way to put it :) ....Beautiful but nightmarish!
My first trip to crystal caves: was terrified of it before.
Me after my first trip: more terrified of it.
Yeah I guess the fear never truly goes away :)
Woah awsome video
Enjoy! :)
@@TheLastBacon ty btw.
Your videos are like..very weird.. Like I mean they good and nice but like it gives this scary vibe and it's just so beautiful. It's hard to do that. And your a legend and an amaizing creator to do that. Maybe we could collab some day :)
Wish below zero was on counsel, can’t wait to play it
Yeah hopefully it comes soon :)
I think that the shadow leviathan feeds on mainly rock punchers as their primary food source and rock punchers are very common in the crystal and fabricator caverns since they can feed off of the large amounts of rock grub that are found there
It is also possible that many rockgrubs use the jade membranes as nests of sorts sine they have similar colors and glows
I suppose it's possible :) Though I'm not sure they'd be able to bite through their crust.
You replyed to every comment so wholesome
Love talking to you guys! :)
Well recently I've been working or reclassifying and redesigning the fauna of 4546b and so far all seems to fit in well.
The Shadow Leviathan looks... VERY different to most organisms on the planet but I think I know where it would fall in.
From what I have seen and classified, I think that it can shelved with the group containing the Crabsnake and Reaper Leviathan. Either as an early offshoot, or a overtly different from.
You might be right for sure :) They do share a bunch of similarities.
So, this probably sounds crazy, but hear me out. What if the shadow leviathan is a distant descendant of the ancient skeleton’s species from the first game? Though drastically different, the share some similarities that aren’t found in most other animals, if any at all. The ancient skeleton and shadow leviathan both have 3 pairs of eyes, whereas every other animal has one or two pairs. Also, the ancient skeleton looks as though it had many limbs, at least 10, if not more. The shadow leviathan also has many appendages, close to its mouth and head, just as with the ancient skeleton. But also, the ice worm could be a distant relative of both as well. The ice worm doesn’t have limbs or 6 eyes, but it does have armor plating like the ancient skeleton and a long body like the shadow leviathan. What if at some point in evolution, these two species split off? One to live on land/ice, and the other to swim to catch bigger prey whereas living on the bottom of the ocean led to a lack of sustaining food
I suppose it’s possible :) In a way I think many leviathans are distantly related to the gargantuan.
Great video! O like how you put do much effort into your videos
Thank you :) glad you enjoy them!
Nightmare tutorial. How to get nightmares
Step 1: install horror mods on subnautica.
Step 2: have minecraft cave noices when you enter a cave.
Step 3: have doom 64 soundtrack constantly playing.
Have good nightmares.
Bonus step : play in a pitch black room.
DLC: play outlast chase soundtrack when being chased by a leviathan.
Yep that sounds like a sure way to never sleep again :)
