So some of you are aware of this creature that is in the works by now... some of you saw it on trello and can't figure out exactly how big it is...
I think you can get an idea if you go to trello look at the picture and then the shadow, it seems huge! Granted Leviathan implies that but still, glad to see it living up to its name
Now just add the bite animation.....

1) You can hear the leviathan's call from a distance every once and a while, so if you're swimming around you'll want to get to safety fast.
2) You can evade him by 'silent running'. If you're in the seamoth out and about and hear his call, you quickly try to find a cave to hide in and shut off all power to your seamoth. If you're unlucky enough to get caught in open water when he arrives, he will chase and destroy your seamoth and you. This creates the trade off of tearing back to the cyclops to relative safety, or desperately looking for a local cave to temporarily take refuge in.
3) If they're no caves nearby, you have no choice but to rush back to your cyclops before he finds and destroys you.
4) If you're driving the cyclops around, and you hear his call, you have to go silent running and turn off all the power to your sub (engine goes dead, interior lights go off completely ushering your sub into darkness). You sit for a little bit quietly in your sub waiting for him to pass all the while he's giving an ominous/creepy calling sound.
5) If you just keep traveling to wherever you were going, he will attack your cyclops and cause damage. He gives up after a while since its too big for him, but it can be a death knell if you're in the deep and already damaged.
Maybe later on you can get a sonar upgrade for your seamoth/cyclops to avoid them or some kind of a defensive system to fight them.
I like your ideas , even if we disagree sometimes xP
I'm still waiting for the creature from the trailer...
Now THAT thing I can see filling aeroripper's profile for a baddy to avoid.

Creature
This is essentially a massive Stalker which can attack your sub also.
Massive, notice the word... It will be huge
If the anims don't quite fit the bill I'm sure they'll polish it
I think they're being called Warpers, but I agree with the rest. Reefbacks need a slight navigational aid, but are otherwise fun gawkbait that I'm happy to have around. If only the water in the biome wasn't so murky.
that is a warper (also development artwork)
wow okay two separate creatures I knew nothing about the warpers
ps love the instant gobble ...just one bite and your hooked (tag line from a something fishy add)
He's called Sea Emperor. Probably the name could be changed, but the initial name of the concept art picture of that creature is something like sea_emperor.jpg.
Warpers are the others, just like the picture above.
It's not a Reaper Leviathan in mass Effect, some just call it that. Reapers are the machines, but the race is simply known as the Leviathans
Though really, a Krakenesque creature would make sense IMO
JIMMY CRICKET that is HUGE!
I didn't realize they were that big. I figured they were bigger than bone sharks, but not quite as big as reef backs... Now it seems like they could EAT reef backs... In one bite at that.
Yeah, definitely the same size if not a little bigger than the Sea Emperor from the trailer video I posted. The reaper and the emperor could probably be evenly matched if they were to fight. Eeeeeek
But it would be nice to see some interaction between the larger creatures
