Uhh how big is the spine eel going to be

phantomfinch

If this consept art is too scale that would make the spine eel as large as the cyclops or even slightly smaller.

If they do scale the creature to this size I will probably never visit the bone fields ever again.

That looks like an Ampeel to me?

Concept art frequently has size (and other) disparity between what some guy drew and the final product. Models work one way, and the sketch requires too many polys, or is too hard to animate, or whatever.

I'm just assuming that until the Cyclops gets some way to defend itself, it's not going to take damage.

It's definitely not and Ampeel, since its transparent and has those tendrils flowing back. Go into a game and type 'spawn spineeel' and you'll see

The concept art definitely shows it bigger, and it may get a size increase later like the Sea Dragon did. He wasn't much bigger than the Reaper at first.

@EvilSmoo This is an Ampeel:

But I see what you mean, both have quite similar looking skeletons. Maybe they're closely related... OMG, I've just had an idea. Somebody, please, draw an evolutionnary tree of life of all the creatures in Subnautica! That'd be awesome!

I think Smoo meant "The Spine Eel looks like it will be about as large as an Ampeel"
