    FIRST OF ALL, keep the Aquaticlook of ALL animals! no matter if they live on land, water or fly! it's a great world u created there! Keep that!

    Water:
    - maybe something that can camoflage itself like octopus do! would be nice for aggressive and defensive fish alike!
    - more crustaceans and jellyfishlike creatures, maybe a combination of both ^^
    - something like a living coral-reef, a huge unmovable creature of enormous sice. like a biom itself

    Land:
    - friendly landliving creatures, maybe to get milk, eggs, lether, ... make them look aquatic too, like they just developed recently from seacreatures
    - ability to breed them
    - landliving carnivores like sharks or crocodiles, lazy predators that wait for there food to come Close and than ... BAM :D

    Air:
    - flying fish like seen in the animated Trailer
    - flying gecko or amphibians that catch for fish in shallow water
    - flying spores, mushroom island
    - airfilled balloonlike fish that can fly out of the water, or release the air and fall back down to dive (like blowfish)

    I hope this thread takes off. But yeah, I have some suggestions.

    Driel:
    Carnivorous,
    Octopus like in appearance but the size of a mezmar,
    Latches on and slowly breaks mask to attack player if player gets too close,
    Exiting the cave causes it to detach (similar to the bleeder),
    Strangles small fish to hunt,
    Found in undeep caves.

    Wide-Jaw:
    Carnivorous,
    Large shark creature (bigger than bone shark),
    Opens its mouth to massive sizes when attacking,
    When its mouth is open it generates strong currents to suck in players or fish,
    Found in deep areas.

    Grabber Coral:
    Passive,
    Regenerative coral that lives on reef backs,
    If harvested too much will fall off and die,
    Provides very small but regenerating coral supply,
    Only found attached to reef backs.

    Propeller-fish:
    Passive,
    Peeper sized fish that uses tendrils to form a natural propeller to move through the water,
    Will sprint away from player and predators at high speed if they get too close,
    Lives in swallow water and will hang around metal pieces if there is no predators.

    Tesla Ray:
    Passive,
    Slightly large than rabbit ray with 4 Tesla coil like appendages running down its back in 2 rows,
    If threatened it releases a burst of electricity which stuns and injures targets for a very short time,
    Lives in kelp forests.

    Flare-fish:
    Passive,
    Hoop fish sized fish with a brightly coloured body,
    When injured it releases a large blinding flash,
    If threatened by predators it spits a small globing orb at another fish or the player which it sticks to,
    The flare attracts predators to whatever it hits,
    Lives in deep water.

    Spine-fish:
    Passive,
    Mezmar sized fish that if threatened will spit a spray of poisonous spines forward towards predators,
    Likes to stay low to the sea floor,
    Instead of running from predators it prefers to attach to creep vines and turn green,
    If attached predators won't pursue it but it can be still be hurt by the player,
    Lives in kelp forests.

    Scertler:
    Passive,
    Turtle-like crab with a large shell it hides in if being preyed on,
    It uses its pincers to pick up and carry away chunks of coral which it uses to build a small house,
    Attacks anythign that attacks or gets too close too its house,
    Scertlers stay near their houses once it builds one,
    It lives on the sea floor above 1000m and dies if it falls deeper.

    Sucel (based off Christian's idea to have the hive from ns2 as a creature):
    Passive,
    Stalker sized ammonite like creature,
    Shifts through sea floor to suck up food,
    Sprays a jet of corrosive acid towards anything that harms it,
    Lives in groups and will attack anything that attacks others in the group,
    Lives below depths of 1000m.

    Geigua:
    Passive,
    Small marine iquana like creature with geko hands,
    Will climb up and cling to anything above water,
    Can survive on land and is mainly found on islands,
    Fast swimmer but can only dive down 9m down and can only stay underwater for 100 H2O worth of time,
    If it ends up below 9m then it will automaticly ascend to the surface,
    Lives at the surface of the water.

    Rammerhead:
    Carnivorous
    Hammer head shark with red and white stripes,
    Hunts like a bone shark,
    Will ram submarines and damaging hull and knocking them around if it sees one,
    Lives at 1000m or deeper.

    I've had some ideas as well, I even went so far as to make models in Spore xD.


    Beakfish:
    passive
    (used as a food source)
    Environment: any shallow water, sandy area with coral.

    Small fish about the size of a peeper that lives in shallow water and can usually be seen hiding amongst the coral, where it feeds on small creatures with it's powerful beak. Has large pectoral and tail fins which flash with bioluminescence when frightened.
    2zqyih0.png


    Terrorfish:
    Aggressive,predator.

    Environment: any deep water 100 meters deep or more.

    Large(about the size of a Reefback) lives in deep water and has a large, expandable mouth, making it able to swallow something as wide as itself. Could swallow the player whole. Has camouflage that allows it to blend into the water.
    k33jic.png


    Vacuum fish:

    Environment: any shallow water sandy area.

    Passive, but has two sharp dorsal fins that can stab the player and give slight damage before it darts off.
    About the same size as the player

    This creature swims lazily along the bottom of shallow waters, using it's down-turned mouth to suck smaller creatures and other organic stuff from the sand, two gill-slits behind it's eyes are used to expell the sand it sucks in.
    1zywvmo.png

    Elephant fish:
    Passive, predator.
    The size of a stalker

    Environment: Creepvine forests

    This creature hides on the bottom and uses it's long tendril-like appendage to catch passing prey like hoverfish and the occasional air-sack and passing it to their mouth, the way an elephant eats. It is harmless to the player unless the player passes over the top, in which the player would get a mild "poison" effect, and lose a little health.
    2u94llv.png

    Plesiodon:(air breathing, has to go to the surface to breathe)
    Passive, predator(feeds on peepers, airsacks, boomerangs and hoverfish)

    Environment: creepvine forests and medium-depth sandy areas with lots of peepers.

    Small, about 4ft long. This creature is immensely curious and very intelligent, it will often approach the player as they are swimming around and will even follow their seamoth. It may offer presents like peepers or other fish and rocks or coral in an effort to play. Can be seen in groups of 3-10. Only dangerous to the player if the player attacks it, then it can do as much damage as a stalker and if there are others in the area, they will "help" the attacked one by attacking the player as a mob.

    I think that there should be a refrence cthulhu at like around 2000/3000 meaters like it grabs you or your sub and pulls you under the map and kills you if you get to close. I think it would be pretty cool! I all so think that cthulhu shoud be 3 times the size of the Cyclops.

    i love h.p.lovecraft very much but the cthulhu-thing is used to much in games and did not fit the tone and mood of subnautica. add a giant squid and i'm fine with that but please no cthulhu! this would be so cliche!

    i have done some quick drawings, but i did not find the time to PS them all... maybe i will add them to this post later next week,

    here is a first look...

    something like a amphibious frog creature with some Features of a catchfish and hammerhead shark, that lives in regions above the watersurface.

    Hey christian? Think you could try to make one of the creatures I mentioned if its not an issue because that is a hell of an awesome drawing.

    Just a note to the OP never design a creature in spore ever. IT is a good tool yes but the terms of agreements for spore states that any creature designed in spore is the intellectual property of the game publisher, and they have sued people for using it to design creatures for art or other games.
  • .SuBB.SuBB The Netherlands Join Date: 2015-03-27 Member: 202636Members
    @Warbrand2 these creatures are made cuz of the model its not exactly ganne be like that this is just a physical photo so you can see if Subnautica added it how it would look like
  • .SuBB.SuBB The Netherlands Join Date: 2015-03-27 Member: 202636Members
