The Raid Shadow Leviathan is the most fearsome of leviathans. It has evolved to understand capitalism and will take advantage of lifeforms in search of much needed cash.
Honestly I wish they would revisit these ideas; below zero has been cool so far but all the biomes feel kind of incomplete with no fleshed out food chain or even the uniqueness of the original subnautica. this is most apparent in the lillypad biome where it feels like they just kind of stuck every kind of predator and some glow whales, with no thought as to how things might have actually developed ecologically and as such it looses the kind of uniqueness that most biomes in the original subnautica had. Additionally the cryptoschucus annoy me because they are fully aquatic despite having legs, when it feels like they should take on the role of something like a leopard seal, and besides that there are simply way to many of them, they are everywhere and it makes it feel like they are there only to fill dead space, which leads me to the next problem, below zero doesn’t have enough prey fish for all of the predators, making the environment and “food chain” feel unbalanced, as most of the prey fish they do have are just transplants from the original subnautica making the environment feel less unique, it’s like seeing clownfish in the arctic, it doesn’t make sense. I know they are focusing more on the story this time around, but I just hope they don’t loose sight of what made the original subnautica unique and loose the feeling of being in a complete alien world that it had in favor of hazard enemies. Personally I wouldn’t mind if they delayed the game further, so that they could round out the environments and make the game feel more real, even if it took another year, I just don’t want to loose that feeling of being in a natural alien environment that the original subnautica gave me.
I agree I feel that also having more land in it sort of defeats the purpose of subnautica, yeah the old one had 2 islands but they were tiny and the whole map was filled with water. Subnautica to me is about the fear of being alone in the middle of ocean planet, but below Zero does feel like that to me. I also think there were a ton of misses they made during it. Creatures like The Ice breaker, Arctic reaper, and Ice dragon seem like concepts that were cool since they were throw backs to The reaper, reefback, and Sea dragon. I also think the leviathans and herbivores are not very special. The shadow leviathan is very cool, but the Chalicirent is a giant shrimp that I feel is desperately trying to be the reaper, but it isn’t scary and terrifying it’s just goofy to me and the bioluminescent design for it would definitely make it cooler. The ice worm is also cool, but it reminds me too much of the death worm from ark. Plus I would like to see it swimming in a biome so I can see it full scale. That’s my take from Below zero at least.
@@ShowyPopcorn as much as I would love to see the ice worm in the water, isn't it a bit too large? I know the team has done large ones before (I'm sure the Ice worm isn't the longest leviathan) but given the area on which we find it and the water around it, I think it's a bit too long to have there unless they're implemented to swim else where in a bigger area and just travel to the glacial basin to hunt. It would also be really cool to see them hunt something other than us.
I know the communities feelings toward the ice dragon are varied at best, but I really do love that mythical guy. It's a shame such a beautiful model is either never going to be implemented or not see use until unknown worlds makes a new game. The idea of it's cut zone is also agonizingly tantalizing. Leviathan trench -- sounds like the perfect spot for a vacation home! The thalassacean is also pretty awesome; I haven't come across the concept art for it yet. It does make me glad though that the developers do seem to reference old concept arts when making new games, so we may see this alien sunfish someday yet.
I agree about the Ice Dragon, it is a bit of a shame it didn't make it in. One idea I thought of was when threatened or half health it realises a chemical that rapidly freezes the water around it giving it a form of Ice armour similar to Zamtrios from MonsterHunter. It would be it's signiture thing like how the sea dragon can blast prey with fire balls.
@@fang609 It would be really cool to see the leviathans put up a bit more of a fight. I know the developers are trying to dissuade people from killing the creatures in general by not having them drop resources or do anything particularly special other then flop around upon death, but I think the community more or less proved that that isn't going to stop them from stabbing something with a pocket knife for fifteen minutes. Seeing one of these creatures defend itself in a way would be pretty nifty.
@@savannahjackson7347 indeed aside from forms of defense like the one I mentioned Leviathan's should be able to do high amounts of damage to veicles,instant kills to the player, have a massive amount of hp and only are under threat by other predatory leviathan class lifeforms or parasites.
They could add the Ice dragon as a roaming creature, that just moves from area to area, those who've played Monster Hunter. World will remember the Bazelgeuse as a creature that does that.

There's plenty of empty space in the Arctic biome right now. I don't know why 1 or 2 ice dragons could not be in here :/ . I wonder what the devs are planning for this biome tho. :/ I really want an ice dragon because right now the only 2 scary levianthans that we have right now in the water are chelicerate and shadow leviathan. I know that we have the ice wurm but they are on the ground. I'm watching all the space in the water right now and I really feel that we should at least have one last agressive leviathan, but this is my opinion. I really loved the fact that the sea dragon could do some ranged attack in the first game... We don't have anything like that in below zero.
That part may be filled by the frozen leviathan. We don't yet know the full story, [Main character is told her sister died but she doesn't believe it, goes to the planet herself to find out, winds up stuck after crash landing, winds up with an alien in her brain..] so they may be looking to implement a feature where said frozen leviathan is uh.. Less.. Welcoming than the Emperor was.. Maybe by breaking through the ice. Maybe the ending will be a sacrifice related thing. No idea. But so far it seems if /something/ is going to mimic the Emperor's entrance, it'll be that freaky fish.
The ice dragon sounds badass looks badass and just is badass and it would’ve been a good counterpart for the sea dragon/ fire dragon in subnautica the ice dragon would’ve definitely been my favorite subnautica creature ever if it was in the game
The creatures I think they should have added are the Dragonfly, the Hoverlizard, the Pygmy Crabsquid, the Electrogami, the Thalassacean, the Shardrunner/Lightspinner, the Kitewing Skyray, the Crested Reaper, the Icebreaker, and the Ice Dragon.
There's so many I wish had made it in, but there were alot I'm glad didn't (like that ice dragon). But who knows, we might get a DLC later on or maybe even another game. I freaking love Alex's concept work!!
I really liked the Ice Dragon. I thought that it was super cool because it was so different from everything else, even if it was more "realistic" idk where it could've gone, but I think it would've been awesome if it would've been implemented, even if you could only find one in the world somewhere and then never see it again
The Ice Jellies would be a really nice set-piece, like... You avoid your first Leviathan encounter, it goes away and the iceberg you were using as cover splits into hundreds of these weird things.
The thalassacean is definitely one of my favorites because it looks suspiciously similar to creature twelve from the various small fauna concept art for the original subnautica, I think it would have looked really cool swimming around open areas like the arctic
check it out then, its a mod for the original subnautica which basically adds a lot of the cut creatures. www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/640?tab=description
Loved the Ice Dragon and it completely fitted the theme of the game. There are several other creatures like it, and this expansion is sorely missing a Ghost Leviathan equivalent. As for where it could have gone, easy, outside the map like the aforementioned Ghosts.
The ice dragon levianeer is one of my favourite levianeer because it look amazing and well it's a dragon and it could have lived in the same place as the shadow levianeer and I am so mad that it was cut from the game.
@@rh3medy They said that they felt there's enough fauna. Personally I disagree with the direction, I feel like the Subnautica devs think we want story and character logs but most players probably want biome exploration and creature discovery. I don't feel it's enough to have one creature type per niche.
Such a shame about the Ice Dragon, it's a refreshing new looking creature and I would have loved to be able to run into it in the Ice Columns. Seeing it's shadowy form and nasty teeth, through the ice possibly, would have been terrifying!!
So many of these would have been right at home and been very good add-ins to the game. namely the arctic reaper, predatory bird and the reefback... I doubt they'll add them, but I hope some of these designs make it into potential future games or even DLCs. Seems like a missed opportunity that could add a lot to the game, rather than meeting the same group of creatures so often. Im excited to see what they do and how they revise the story in the future though, and really hope they can keep making games. Their stuff is a breath of fresh air and always gets me inspired to work on my own creature concepts.
Names for concept art creatures: F3 is Parashicus F2 is Fleaglider F1 is Arctic ray (Aldy added) A is Jelly spinner (It has already been named so what's the point) B is Sinkshroom C is Filter spiral D is Bombray E is Filtorb (Again what's the point ) Triholder A is Triops(ALREADY NAMED) B is Firefly grabber C is Tentacle stealer A is Haircone B is Icescraper A is Suckerworm B is Void spider C is Stabbing gar eel D is Twisteel (AGAIN ALREADY NAMED) A is Spikesucker B is Mandibular striker C is Mandibular glider D is Cryptosuchus (Aldy added don't even bother Probosichis A is Frog jumper B is Wide-eyed frog glider C is Frog swimmer D is Frog launcher E is Bottled jelly spider
Crested Reaper should be in the game. I love Reaper to much to dont have any his relative in secound game. :) Hove lizard would also be great, oryginal one was cute :)
Wanna know what just realized this version 12:38 of the ice dragon really just looks like a bigger and more monstrous looking version of the pinnacarid
The Ice Dragon looked really cool, and honestly I feel like there is a lot of empty ocean, so I don't see why they would claim there's not space for it (Unless it is really huge). But another creature I am disappointed we will probably never get to see is the Titan Leviathan. The one there's a skeleton of in the Lost River Biome. Just imagine that. After Below Zero, I feel they should make a "sandbox experience" of the various creatures they cut. Or depending on how they choose to go with Below Zero, they could have it appear at the end as part of a cutscene.
I honestly would like to see the icedragon as a leviathan similar to the sea emporer as a friendly character but helping you by attacking other leviathans if the space allows it or distracting them but accually not locking if in to a specific area but have it spawn near you to work with the leviathan whilst you are either getting away or scanning something..
Ice dragon should have been implemented into the game as a replacement for the Ghost Leviathan in the Dead Zone. And the PDA should have said that unlike Ghost Leviathans, this creature's mouth would suggest it feeds on other Leviathan class creatures within its territories. Implying the existence of other Leviathan's that it eats, or that it might even feed on Ghost Leviathans. Maybe see Juvenile Ice Dragons appear in the game too.
I kinda wish that the Ice Dragon made it in, just cause it looks really freakin cool and would have scared me just as much as the Sea dragon from the first game
Was Honestly Looking Forwards To The Kitewing Skyray, It Would Be Amazing Looking, Like An Interesting Pterodactyl Swooping Down And Grabbing The Player And Slowly Flying Higher..
2:54, as it seems, it'd work a bit like a jet, therefore the side with the larger hole would be the front and the side with the point would be the back.
If the ice dragon was a different colour (maybe black or partially translucent) I think it could've made a pretty amazing void predator. People have wanted something giant to live in the void for a while, so I don't see why this wouldn't be possible :/
I favored the ice dragon because it is such a large leviathan and pose a huge threat to any under water vehicle that got to close to it, or it could have been like the sea emperor and be a key part of the story like it was the main evil and was what was making the virus and it needed to have something injected into it so that it would stop making the virus and then you had to cure the virus
oh man i thought we missed out with tropical colored small reaper titan (which I hate those in the original game but dang that design is pretty), and then you just HAD TO SHOW THE CUTEST BABY. Oh gods I want that hover dragon so bad precious baby!!!
One thing I think subnautica is missing is the pokemon vibe of collecting/scanning all the creatures. There should be more creature and have some sort of spawn rate. Also there is a massive ice biome located at east of rocket island that could perfectly host the ice dragon vut you can find only glow whale there. Such a waste because its one of the coolest area in the game
I think the long protruding appendages on the spider thing are eyes, you can see the little dots on the end of each, which I assume would be the actual eyes.
They should add the ice dragon in the deep part of the ocean like they did with the ghost leviathan in the dead zone giving u a reason to not go into the deports part of the ocean cause u would know something big scary and huge would eat u
i think having that scrapped biome and the ice dragon in the void, wich would make the void much scarier and not make it just this great big empty drop. the great ice shards would alert the player of the edge of the world, whilst also fleshing out the void much better. in general i think adding a bit more to the void in both subnautica games would make it better, having a clear indication of it being there and also having scarier creatures chase the player if they enter the void. in my opinion, the subnautica team should have made the shadow leviathan the creature in the void [cause the ice dragon isn't in the game rn so my idea for the void is irrelevant now], as it would be much scarier. now they just use the chelicerate as the void creature is unimpressive.
the de-extinction mod for Subnautica has quite a few of these, including the Twisteel, Thalassacean and the filter feeder aka the Filtorb. the full list has more, so check it out here: www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/640?tab=description
2:57 it looks like the cone side is the front, since it looks like there's a big opening on the other side which the flagella would push water through, and the cone is just for hydrodynamics
Bro even if we don’t need or interact with the creatures ingame I would love to see some of the filter feeding ones, and floating ones. It’s just the little things that make it better
I'll actually like to have a Pygmy Crab Squid because I like Crab Squids, I won't like the stealing part, but I would like to hear what a Pygmy Crab Squid will sound like because I like the cool noises of the regular Crab Squid.
For me the Ice Dragon is my first time hearing about it. It's sad it was cut along with its area. I guess it could have taken the void leviathans area. Definitely looks like it could crush the current Leviathans there. But yaaa the Sea Dragon would have been super cool to see in action as you run to survive a encounter with it.
Dang I really would of loved that Ice Dragon, I would of settled for it taking the Ghost Leviathan’s place as an edge guard or something. The design was tremendously better then the Sea Dragon which I found to be very goofy looking.
3:00 I believe the spike side is the front, as the spike is reminiscent of the inlet spike of a jet engine, which the whole creature overall evokes the feeling of.
The Ice dragon design reminds me of a somewhat distant relative of the Pinnacarid, like a sea leopard compared to a fur seal. I think it would've fit well in the East Arctic. I know the prawn dolphins already dominate that area, but the ice dragons could've been scaled down, closer to the size of a Squidshark, maybe a little bigger. That way the prawn dolphins could've stayed the apex predator of the biome, preying on the ice dragons like Orca do sea leopards.
3:01 you can see where the "tail" "rope" is attacked its attached on the spike side so this would not be the moving end rather the part where muscles start wigiling thatg "tail" arround also the dynamics in warder work much better this way so the tip is the front
I just finished a playthrough of BZ and I have to say, they made some seriously questionable design choices for this game, especially with the predators. The smaller creatures are where the game really shines. They make sense.
Hey man it's been a while, I'm glad you are making some money out of this CZcams thing. Even what other people say I respect the grind! Also i hope your studies go well. You seem like a nice kid so keep on trucking!
Well, some of the creatures that never got into Subnautica, were implemented in Below Zero. So we have a chance that other creatures can be used in other sequels
Name one creature that wasn't implemented in subnautica that was originally going to be that made it to below zero go ahead ill wait no actually im really curious
HELL YEAH, I'D'VE LOVED THE ICE DRAGON!!!! I think it could be a tamable creature and could have been used to hitch a ride on if your player is hurt or tired. also, if the player is cold, it could huddle up close to it and ride it for a while to warm back up!
The creasted reaper might be the original chelicerate, since the mandibles are nearly identical, aswell as the tail, so remove the ice ram and give it armor and you got the chelicerate
That Arctic reefback makes me sad. Reef backs were one of my favourite if not my absolute favourite creature in subnautica... EDIT: I think the ice dragon could’ve maybe been in the air like an actual dragon, and swoop down on the player in blizzards when on land, so maybe there would be a land Veichle for protection!
The flagellum acts as a tail and there is an opening behind said tail. Tail being movement mechanism. Thus the pointed section should be the head technically.
I really wished they brought the ice dragon the reaper and a few of the concept arts like the cave thing into below zero.First if all the game is not really as scary if there is not something you need to worry about trying to sneak up on you and you sea truck and damage it but give you the reminder of reaper leviathans.The I’ve dragon cause well we do not sadly got our good old dragon and plus that would have been something to look out for.and the concept art from the last game like cave thing.It would have fit really well and would have been a fun but scary thing to look out for in the caves.And the grab squid would have been cool too since we were already dealing with sea monkeys why not something that stole batteries.Also the spider like creature and the bird like creatures would be good since let us put it this way we need some more things to be afraid of out land and in some safe areas.
I love Bellow Zero, but they don't have as many leviathans/fauna as the first one. I thought a few would make a come back (not countering the fish you can eat) but the reaper, because a NPC mentions how she killed and lived in one for food and warmth for a while.
If you have any suggestions for what creature that would be cool to be added to subnautica below zero or just subnautica I should make and art I should do can be left in the reply section. I’m just bored.
It would not harm the game to have a bunch of not very important or scary creatures swimming around. Just a part of the wildlife.
6:54 The frog like fish could be nice on top of the lilypads.
Good idea!
I think the HoverLizard would also fit their and in the kelp forest.

The Ice Jellies would be a really nice set-piece, like... You avoid your first Leviathan encounter, it goes away and the iceberg you were using as cover splits into hundreds of these weird things.
The thalassacean is definitely one of my favorites because it looks suspiciously similar to creature twelve from the various small fauna concept art for the original subnautica, I think it would have looked really cool swimming around open areas like the arctic
100% agree!
check it out then, its a mod for the original subnautica which basically adds a lot of the cut creatures. www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/640?tab=description
I think that the ice dragon could’ve been in the dead zone where it would kill the player
Loved the Ice Dragon and it completely fitted the theme of the game. There are several other creatures like it, and this expansion is sorely missing a Ghost Leviathan equivalent.
As for where it could have gone, easy, outside the map like the aforementioned Ghosts.
You should make a video on “What if the Aurora crashed in the void?”
That would make a great mod and I would love to play it
We need more scary biomes like the Ice dragon with it the game feels realy empty
The ice dragon levianeer is one of my favourite levianeer because it look amazing and well it's a dragon and it could have lived in the same place as the shadow levianeer and I am so mad that it was cut from the game.
Man, it's sad that lots of these didnt make it especially the arctic reefback
so many great ideas. what were they scared or something?
@@rh3medy They said that they felt there's enough fauna. Personally I disagree with the direction, I feel like the Subnautica devs think we want story and character logs but most players probably want biome exploration and creature discovery. I don't feel it's enough to have one creature type per niche.
@@FortressLordJP193 this
Such a shame about the Ice Dragon, it's a refreshing new looking creature and I would have loved to be able to run into it in the Ice Columns. Seeing it's shadowy form and nasty teeth, through the ice possibly, would have been terrifying!!
indeed, hopefully they implement it in the future
We need some kind of super deep cave Biome with the ice dragon. Below zero just feels very incomplete in it's creature variety
I feel like the ice dragon could freeze your’e submarine and drag it down to the depths and then try to kill you
Alex just loves his filter feeders.
And his intricate mouthparts. Man just has a thing for unique feeding methods
So many of these would have been right at home and been very good add-ins to the game. namely the arctic reaper, predatory bird and the reefback... I doubt they'll add them, but I hope some of these designs make it into potential future games or even DLCs. Seems like a missed opportunity that could add a lot to the game, rather than meeting the same group of creatures so often.
Im excited to see what they do and how they revise the story in the future though, and really hope they can keep making games. Their stuff is a breath of fresh air and always gets me inspired to work on my own creature concepts.
I used to watch you a couple years back. I’m glad to see how far you’ve come.
The kitewing Skyray is said to be still being worked on. So hopefully it will make it into the game one day.

Crested Reaper should be in the game. I love Reaper to much to dont have any his relative in secound game. :) Hove lizard would also be great, oryginal one was cute :)
Its weird to me that some people think the Ice Dragon's design doesn't fit when the Cryptosuchus exists... Their designs have a very similar style.
Wait they are done? the sea feels so much more empty...
Wanna know what just realized this version 12:38 of the ice dragon really just looks like a bigger and more monstrous looking version of the pinnacarid
The Ice Dragon looked really cool, and honestly I feel like there is a lot of empty ocean, so I don't see why they would claim there's not space for it (Unless it is really huge). But another creature I am disappointed we will probably never get to see is the Titan Leviathan. The one there's a skeleton of in the Lost River Biome.
Just imagine that. After Below Zero, I feel they should make a "sandbox experience" of the various creatures they cut. Or depending on how they choose to go with Below Zero, they could have it appear at the end as part of a cutscene.
You mean the gargantuan leviathan
There is a mod for it and its awesome
I honestly would like to see the icedragon as a leviathan similar to the sea emporer as a friendly character but helping you by attacking other leviathans if the space allows it or distracting them but accually not locking if in to a specific area but have it spawn near you to work with the leviathan whilst you are either getting away or scanning something..
Maybe you meet him as soon as you go to close to a leviathan or as soon as space permits and talking in a similar way as the sea emporers..
Ice dragon should have been implemented into the game as a replacement for the Ghost Leviathan in the Dead Zone. And the PDA should have said that unlike Ghost Leviathans, this creature's mouth would suggest it feeds on other Leviathan class creatures within its territories. Implying the existence of other Leviathan's that it eats, or that it might even feed on Ghost Leviathans.
Maybe see Juvenile Ice Dragons appear in the game too.
Gargantuan leviathan:I am joke for you?
I kinda wish that the Ice Dragon made it in, just cause it looks really freakin cool and would have scared me just as much as the Sea dragon from the first game
Was Honestly Looking Forwards To The Kitewing Skyray, It Would Be Amazing Looking, Like An Interesting Pterodactyl Swooping Down And Grabbing The Player And Slowly Flying Higher..
2:54, as it seems, it'd work a bit like a jet, therefore the side with the larger hole would be the front and the side with the point would be the back.
Wish the map was bigger for bigger vehicles, leviathans and other stuff, it would be great for the developers to put much effort into the game.
If the ice dragon was a different colour (maybe black or partially translucent) I think it could've made a pretty amazing void predator. People have wanted something giant to live in the void for a while, so I don't see why this wouldn't be possible :/
true..so much more needed in this game..and optimization fixes too....
I favored the ice dragon because it is such a large leviathan and pose a huge threat to any under water vehicle that got to close to it, or it could have been like the sea emperor and be a key part of the story like it was the main evil and was what was making the virus and it needed to have something injected into it so that it would stop making the virus and then you had to cure the virus
oh man i thought we missed out with tropical colored small reaper titan (which I hate those in the original game but dang that design is pretty), and then you just HAD TO SHOW THE CUTEST BABY. Oh gods I want that hover dragon so bad precious baby!!!
The crested reaper
Would be cool if they group
And it's also really cute.
One thing I think subnautica is missing is the pokemon vibe of collecting/scanning all the creatures. There should be more creature and have some sort of spawn rate. Also there is a massive ice biome located at east of rocket island that could perfectly host the ice dragon vut you can find only glow whale there. Such a waste because its one of the coolest area in the game
I think the long protruding appendages on the spider thing are eyes, you can see the little dots on the end of each, which I assume would be the actual eyes.
They should add the ice dragon in the deep part of the ocean like they did with the ghost leviathan in the dead zone giving u a reason to not go into the deports part of the ocean cause u would know something big scary and huge would eat u
i think having that scrapped biome and the ice dragon in the void, wich would make the void much scarier and not make it just this great big empty drop. the great ice shards would alert the player of the edge of the world, whilst also fleshing out the void much better. in general i think adding a bit more to the void in both subnautica games would make it better, having a clear indication of it being there and also having scarier creatures chase the player if they enter the void.
in my opinion, the subnautica team should have made the shadow leviathan the creature in the void [cause the ice dragon isn't in the game rn so my idea for the void is irrelevant now], as it would be much scarier. now they just use the chelicerate as the void creature is unimpressive.
the de-extinction mod for Subnautica has quite a few of these, including the Twisteel, Thalassacean and the filter feeder aka the Filtorb. the full list has more, so check it out here: www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/640?tab=description
The Thalasacean really reminds me of a sun fish.
i hope the 3rd subnatica game uses these cut concepts some of them recollard could be used for a desert or temprate game .
2:57 it looks like the cone side is the front, since it looks like there's a big opening on the other side which the flagella would push water through, and the cone is just for hydrodynamics
Bro even if we don’t need or interact with the creatures ingame I would love to see some of the filter feeding ones, and floating ones. It’s just the little things that make it better
I'll actually like to have a Pygmy Crab Squid because I like Crab Squids, I won't like the stealing part, but I would like to hear what a Pygmy Crab Squid will sound like because I like the cool noises of the regular Crab Squid.
Oh, and I like an Artic Reef Back, especially hearing it's new sound!
The ice dragon would make the game so much better
I feel even if these creatures don't bring major gameplay value they would still be fun to find and stumble upon.
3:10 that jelly would look so good in the lilypad area
For me the Ice Dragon is my first time hearing about it. It's sad it was cut along with its area. I guess it could have taken the void leviathans area. Definitely looks like it could crush the current Leviathans there. But yaaa the Sea Dragon would have been super cool to see in action as you run to survive a encounter with it.
Dang I really would of loved that Ice Dragon, I would of settled for it taking the Ghost Leviathan’s place as an edge guard or something. The design was tremendously better then the Sea Dragon which I found to be very goofy looking.
3:00 I believe the spike side is the front, as the spike is reminiscent of the inlet spike of a jet engine, which the whole creature overall evokes the feeling of.
Antikythera Mechanism I thought so too, plus it’s more aerodynamic that way.
The Ice dragon design reminds me of a somewhat distant relative of the Pinnacarid, like a sea leopard compared to a fur seal. I think it would've fit well in the East Arctic. I know the prawn dolphins already dominate that area, but the ice dragons could've been scaled down, closer to the size of a Squidshark, maybe a little bigger. That way the prawn dolphins could've stayed the apex predator of the biome, preying on the ice dragons like Orca do sea leopards.
Awesome Crunch “There is no reason not to play it”
Me “yes but actually no”
3:01 you can see where the "tail" "rope" is attacked its attached on the spike side so this would not be the moving end rather the part where muscles start wigiling thatg "tail" arround also the dynamics in warder work much better this way so the tip is the front
I just finished a playthrough of BZ and I have to say, they made some seriously questionable design choices for this game, especially with the predators.
The smaller creatures are where the game really shines. They make sense.
Hey man it's been a while, I'm glad you are making some money out of this CZcams thing. Even what other people say I respect the grind! Also i hope your studies go well. You seem like a nice kid so keep on trucking!
Thank you man! It's hard to balance Uni with this, which is why the sponsorship was important. Glad you understand unlike some others.
@@Awesomecrunch yeah man, just don't waste the money on beer tokens!!:)
I love the Ice Dragon design!
I see why a lot of people didn't though.
Void Chelicerate should’ve been the regular Chelicerate and the Ice Dragon Leviathan should attack you if you enter the Void.
Aw man I actually loved SO many of those
Well, some of the creatures that never got into Subnautica, were implemented in Below Zero. So we have a chance that other creatures can be used in other sequels
Name one creature that wasn't implemented in subnautica that was originally going to be that made it to below zero go ahead ill wait
Name one creature that wasn't implemented in subnautica that was originally going to be that made it to below zero go ahead ill wait no actually im really curious
@@colddeathyt7876 Rock Puncher for example
Some small fishes too
Some transport and stuff
Cool
Oh nice, cool Subnautica video

HELL YEAH, I'D'VE LOVED THE ICE DRAGON!!!! I think it could be a tamable creature and could have been used to hitch a ride on if your player is hurt or tired. also, if the player is cold, it could huddle up close to it and ride it for a while to warm back up!
good idea tbh
The creasted reaper might be the original chelicerate, since the mandibles are nearly identical, aswell as the tail, so remove the ice ram and give it armor and you got the chelicerate
That Arctic reefback makes me sad. Reef backs were one of my favourite if not my absolute favourite creature in subnautica... EDIT: I think the ice dragon could’ve maybe been in the air like an actual dragon, and swoop down on the player in blizzards when on land, so maybe there would be a land Veichle for protection!
The flagellum acts as a tail and there is an opening behind said tail. Tail being movement mechanism. Thus the pointed section should be the head technically.
I really wished they brought the ice dragon the reaper and a few of the concept arts like the cave thing into below zero.First if all the game is not really as scary if there is not something you need to worry about trying to sneak up on you and you sea truck and damage it but give you the reminder of reaper leviathans.The I’ve dragon cause well we do not sadly got our good old dragon and plus that would have been something to look out for.and the concept art from the last game like cave thing.It would have fit really well and would have been a fun but scary thing to look out for in the caves.And the grab squid would have been cool too since we were already dealing with sea monkeys why not something that stole batteries.Also the spider like creature and the bird like creatures would be good since let us put it this way we need some more things to be afraid of out land and in some safe areas.
I love Bellow Zero, but they don't have as many leviathans/fauna as the first one. I thought a few would make a come back (not countering the fish you can eat) but the reaper, because a NPC mentions how she killed and lived in one for food and warmth for a while.
Where is the next vidio? BTW: i love that you are an active youtuber who actually looks at his comments
Coming soon
I like how they didn’t add the Ice Dragon because it “didn’t fit into the artstyle” yet we have the cryptosuchus.
Didn't even notice the spider. Should totally be added. So scary.
If you have any suggestions for what creature that would be cool to be added to subnautica below zero or just subnautica I should make and art I should do can be left in the reply section. I’m just bored.
yo the ice dragon looks sooooooo good how did they not add it in my opinion. Great vid by the way
I feel as if The Ice Dragon would be A good addition with it's own biome/place in the game It would be cool if it were called the freeze Zone
