Yes
Yes, but I cheat and use the Stasis Rifle. You still have to sit there and let the Reaper charge you first, though, so I suppose there is some danger if you miss your first shot.
Ghost Leviathans are harder to do this with, because the hit box on their head is weird. I often miss when I expect to hit.

Yes
@Recursion Sea Dragon doesn't have nearly the turning radius of the Reaper, so it's easier to get around. The biggest problem (besides it eating you) is that it's /fast/. It easily outruns your Seaglide.

That's why you make sure you gave it a good stasis before running for safety in the prawn you parked in the lava castle.
I'm a stupid person who makes stupid games and constantly self-deprecates his stupid life because he's a stupid idiot.

Stasis rifle is cheating in my book, I for one haven't even made one

Yes
One of my first major "no point but why not" goals, actually. It's kind of a right-of-passage, in my opinion. Oh, and no statis rifle, yeah. That's just lame!

Came close to scanning it
I would like to change my vote to Yes. No vehicle, no console commands, no stasis rifle, no reinforced dive suit, I just went out to the Dunes a kilometer from my base, scanned a Reaper, healed up, finished scanning it, and then swam back to my base.
It is my opinion that the best place to build a base is the northern end of the Sparse Reef.

Yes
I took Wraith (my Cyclops) out to the mountain island and parked it, then I threw my entire inventory into the lockers. Armed with only a scanner and a seaglide, I did it.
I scanned a reaper.
But then it killed me and I had to restart (hardcore). Should've parked Wraith closer.

Hi
Ghost as well, they may have speed, but they also have the turning circle of a battleship

Yet I still have no idea what's going on.
Yeah, I'm a bit messed up.
