What do you think is the scariest enemy in Subnautica?
The vote can range from:
Number of deaths from this creature.
Number of scares from it.
Number of unexpected ''greetings'' from this creature.
This will be a specific list of only a few fauna, sorry Crabsquid lovers.

And for the vote, I guess I take biters. Why? Because they easily outclass every other type of enemy when it comes to:
Really, just try to look for sandstone chunks in the grassy plateaus, they're like creepy wizards seemingly appearing out of nowhere to bite your ***
The reaper leviathan would take the 2nd place for me. I get chills every time I hear his attack cry... it's so loud and really fits his size.
As for sandsharks, I actually find them kind of adorable.
These guys don't actively seek you to attack tho.
Didn't they revert back to their hostile-to-you nature once planted? Or did you plant them in Creative?
Hardcore mode. They were still aggressive but I find them very easy to avoid.
My vote: Crabsnakes. Nothing like a jump scare out of a pink mushroom to ruin your day.
In third place: the Cave Crawler
In Second place: the Tiger Plant
In First place: the Biter
Whenever any of these and their cousins (like the bood crawler or the blood biter) hurt you, there isn't much of your health which is reduced. It's just that they all do continuous attacks, sometimes in packs. They are all so annoying.
THIS DOESN'T MEAN THAT I WANT THEM OUT OF THE GAME THO!
Except the peeper. Beware the peeper!
As for the Crabsquids, lets just say.. They are terrifying. I didn't put them on here because I wanted it to be a fair poll. Mostly everyone would vote for them ( me included ). I added the reaper instead because I don't find these as scary. Don't get me wrong, they are pretty creepy, but.. you can easily see them/hear them and you have a chance to evade them.

Peepers and Stalkers are best countered with the new Chris Hansen gun.
I find myself swimming in their path way more than I do dodging them. Crashes do not leave the plant if you near them at a 90 degree or more angle and end up blowing up the plant, which marks both the loss of a resource and of decor. So, I regularly use myself as bait to save the plants. I'd prefer if crash plants became immune to the explosion.
I wonder if that's why I keep finding crash power squares floating in space? I'll be cruising along and hear the crash launch noise, and then a series of explosions... but not near me. Then later I'll stumble across 3 or 4 samples of crash powder looking extremely square and just floating there maybe 6 inches off the floor or wall. So the good news is you might not be losing the resource. In fact, now I kinda wanna test to see if I can do this intentionally.
i do this all the time, the easiest way of doing it is to just freeze the crash while its still in the pod and just activate it while frozen, then boom you got yourself a hole in the cave wall where the crash and the plant used to be.
I'm not talking about the final batch of crash powder, but of the possibility to replenish. I am losing that resource because the crash plant disappears and won't make new crash powder. This isn't so bad resource-wise at the moment (crash powder would be a very logical ingredient to plant care if the devs would make farming more effort-taking) because there's few recipes for it and the flare is merely one among several methods to create light, but it is still annoying.
Stalkers, definitely stalkers. I will say that the bone shark's howl sends a chill up my spine more than pretty much anything else, but at least they give you a warning before taking a bite out of your rear end!
Definitely stalkers... they're aptly named on low graphics settings. Surprise! *chomp* Pretty much everything else I can see coming from a long way away. Kelp forests just stress the graphics card on this machine I guess.
Sand sharks would be more menacing if the way they waddle through the water wasn't so dang cute, lol.
