The closest translation of the alien symbol for this specimen is ‘sea emperor’. Bone samples from deceased leviathan specimens indicate some potential for Kharaa immunity. Single specimen captured for study at purpose-built emperor containment facility, constructed in volcanic region at depth 1200m.
The Sea Emperor Leviathan is the largest of the living Leviathan class fauna found within the crater in Subnautica. It is sapient and telepathic, but unlike most Leviathans, it is not aggressive.
Appearance [ ]
She is colossal, having a stocky, entirely armored body and is predominantly pale brown in color, with shades of green. Its tentacles are adorned with bright cyan bioluminescent «bulbs.»
Her head is comparatively small, and quite peculiar in shape (see «Trivia» below for more), featuring two striped antennae with glowing green lures atop her snout, two large mandibles on each side of heer rather small mouth, and a glowing hollow between these mandibles. She has four binocular eyes, glowing cyan in color
Her posterior consists of seven long, yet slim tentacles ending with large tentacular clubs, with the largest being in the center, surrounded by the six smaller tentacles.
Unlike the Sea Dragon Leviathan, she doesn’t have true graspers; instead, its forelimbs are two massive, paddle-like arms, similar to some paddles used by turtles, primarily used for stabilization while swimming and possibly used for defense against predators.
She also has a hole in the back with an unknown purpose, most likey for creating enzyme 42 or laying eggs.
Behavior [ ]
Despite her gargantuan size, her diet consists solely of micro-organisms filtered from the water, much like real-life Baleen whales and Blue whales.
It’s suggested that in the past these creatures would have traveled in small herds in the bottom of the trenches (that being the Crater Edge), occasionally coming to the surface to feast on the microorganisms in the shallower water. When the Kharaa Bacterium was released onto the planet, many creatures died, destroying the food source of her species is capable of telepathic speech, which she uses to communicate with the player at various locations around the world. Whenever she communicates with the player, the screen becomes distorted in a similar way to when a Warper teleports the player, or a Mesmer hypnotizes the player.
She will first contact the player telepathically either sixty minutes after attempting to deactivate the Quarantine Enforcement Platform or twenty minutes after reaching the Disease Research Facility (whichever happens first). She will contact the player again shortly after they have obtained the Blue Tablet, and again upon entering the Lava Lakes. She will continue to interact with Riley upon entering the Aquarium, telling him what he needs to do in order to hatch the eggs. After Ryley inserts an Ion Cube into the Incubator Device, the She will speak to the player, and will move to the left side of the Alien Arch, and blow away the sand, uncovering the Arch that the player can use to access the Arch outside of the Quarantine Enforcement Platform.
Upon entering the aquarium, she will climb up onto a platform to observe and speak to the player, then descend back down. She will also watch the player intently if they are near the Incubator Device or the aquarium Arch, quickly spinning around and coming to a rest on the aquarium’s floor.
Story [ ]
The captive Sea Empress Leviathan is the last remaining adult of Her species and a parent to at least seven eggs. The five eggs which still remain must be hatched at some point in the story. She is approximately two-thousand six-hundred years old, having massively surpassed her species natural lifespan. It is possible that the Aquarium has some form of life support system in place that allowed her to live to such an advanced age, as it was noted that one-thousand six-hundred was already old.
Almost all of the Sea Emperor Leviathans died when the Kharaa Bacterium was released as it killed off their food source, leaving only the one captive adult and the eggs it was discovered with. As the only source of Enzyme 42 on Planet 4546B, her and her children are the keys to cure the Kharaa Bacterium.
The Precursors studied the last surviving Sea Emperor Leviathan in hopes of finding a cure using its natural production of Enzyme 42. However, due to her weakness, possibly old age or illness, studies conducted showed that she was not a viable source of Enzyme 42 as the enzymes she produced was too unstable and only reverted symptoms temporarily. After the Precursors could not find a way to hatch her eggs naturally, they took three into the dissection room of the Primary Containment Facility and experimented on them, cutting all of them open and removing the fetus from one of the eggs. One other egg was taken to the egg lab, where it was also tested on. Still, they could find no way to cause the hatching process to trigger naturally, and juveniles born outside of the natural conditions could not produce suitable enzymes. They resorted to attaching the eggs to an Incubator Device to keep the eggs alive while they worked on more ways to hatch them. Shortly after this, the Disease Research Facility was destroyed, releasing the Kharaa Bacterium, causing all Arches to the facility to be closed and initiating the planetary quarantine.
At an unspecified time, she managed to train Peepers to use the Alien Vents to distribute Enzyme 42 to the surface. Under the her control, Peepers traveled through the Alien Vent, bringing flora seeds to the aquarium, and leaving with small amounts of Enzyme 42 which they distribute at the surface. This system allowed a small amount of life to survive on the planet.
After her eggs are hatched,she will play with its children and then direct them to the Arch leading just outside the Quarantine Enforcement Platform which they will leave through.She will begin dying shortly afterward, as she has used the last of her strength to play with her babies. [1]

Sea Dragon Leviathan
The Sea Dragon Leviathan is a colossal leviathan class fauna species. It is the largest aggressive creature of Subnautica. There are a total of three Sea Dragon Leviathans on the map: two in the Inactive Lava Zone and one in the Lava Lakes. [1]
Contents
Appearance
The Sea Dragon Leviathan’s body mostly resembles the Sea Emperor Leviathan, albeit much smaller and slimmer in design. The body is mostly dark green in color, along with purple accents on its webbed limbs and head. It has protective plates on the underside of its body that start at the neck and run down to where the tentacles begin. Many of its body parts are adorned or spotted with orange bioluminescent glows, and many small spines line its lower jaw and arms.
The head of the Sea Dragon is stout and reptilian, possessing two pairs of glowing orange eyes with white pupils, a crack-like pattern spreads from the pupils to the rest of the eye. The mouth contains a pink tongue and thirty-two large teeth, visible even when the mouth is closed. The tip of the snout features two short, green protrusions with orange glowing tips. It also has a second set of larger fin-like protrusions beneath its lower jaw. Along the side of its body runs two long trails of small hollows that emit orange bioluminescent glows. It has two long forearms ending with webbed, four digited hands; each digit ends with a claw that is approximately equal in size to the player’s entire body. A large sail sits on the creature’s back, just below the shoulders. Its rear-side consists of seven tentacles, also lined with orange spots and ending with small tentacular clubs, the largest tentacle being surrounded by the six smaller ones.
Behavior
The Sea Dragon Leviathan uses its arms and tentacles to swim in the water at great speed; according to the «Damaged Anchor Cable» entry from the Disease Research Facility, it is capable of exerting over 300 tons (600,000 pounds) of force by ramming. Just being in close proximity to the Sea Dragon Leviathan will cause the player or Prawn Suit to be jostled due to the water it displaces. It will attack the player with its arms if they are on either side of its front body by swatting them away and dealing 40 damage to the player. If the Sea Dragon Leviathan attacks the player with its mouth, it will swallow the player, killing them instantly even if the player has the Reinforced Dive Suit equipped. Occasionally, the Sea Dragon Leviathan will open its mouth wide and fire a molten rock at its target as a projectile attack. The Sea Dragon Leviathan is also capable of firing a barrage of small «fireballs» covering a wide area.
The Sea Dragon Leviathan will attack the Cyclops by slamming it with its arms with considerable force, often leaving the Cyclops upside down or on its side. The Sea Dragon Leviathan can deal massive damage to a Prawn Suit very quickly; the swat attack does 11% damage to the suit, the Sea Dragon Leviathan also has the ability to grab the vehicle in its mouth and deal 10-20% damage before releasing it; it often swats immediately after. A sustained barrage of small fireballs, known as the Fire Breath attack, can deal lots of damage in a short time to the Prawn, it’ll often swat the vehicle soon after and do this again if you’re still in the vicinity.
When the Sea Dragon Leviathan is exposed to damage, it will flinch and commonly, if the player is close, it will swat them away dealing large amounts of damage to the Player if they aren’t in any Vehicles. The Sea Dragon Leviathan will get stuck inside the walls of the map, but still be able to attack the player. Similar to the Lava Lizard, the Sea Dragon is completely resistant to the Thermoblade.
The entire life-cycle of the Sea Dragon Leviathan is almost exclusive in the Inactive Lava Zone and Lava Lakes only leaving their natural habitat in order to sustain their food supply by hunting Reaper Leviathans in the shallower waters. Other than Reaper Leviathans, they consume the Crimson Rays or Lava Lizards when fully grown and presumably Lava Larvae and Magmarang and Red Eyeye when born.
Story
Spoiler alert: The following section contains story related material.
A little under a thousand years ago, a Sea Dragon Leviathan Egg was taken by the Precursors and contained within the Disease Research Facility for testing, however, the parent Sea Dragon pursued the Precursors back to the facility and destroyed it, resulting in the Kharaa Bacterium being released onto Planet 4546B, causing the Precursors to put the planet into quarantine.
The skeleton of this Sea Dragon Leviathan can be found near the Disease Research Facility, having suffered massive head trauma from the attack.

Водокрылень-левиафан
Водокрылень-левиафан — это представитель фауны, который мирно проплывает мимо. Эти забавные существа могут просто мирно плыть и издавать звуки, похожие на звуки кита. Но если вы всё-же его ударите ножом или случайно столкнётесь с ним на транспорте, то он начнет преследовать вас. Несмотря на свою агрессию, он питается пироньей и прочей растительностью, однако не против и съесть мяса снежного отшельника.
Анатомическое строение водокрыленей предполагает отсутствие лап, но вместо них они имеют плавники, похожие на крылья, для ускорения и выплывания на поверхность. Интересно то, что они могут видеть абсолютно со всех сторон, так как у них есть глаза почти по всему телу.
Водокрылени имеют социальное поведение и часто собираются вместе, поэтому если вам повезёт, то вы можете увидеть небольшую стаю. Также у них имеется на голове «рог», с помощью которого они издают звуки, чтобы подать сигнал своим сородичам. Иногда на водокрыленях можно увидеть пару пингвикрылов, если он плавает на поверхности. Они используют его как «почти-что-транспорт», и опускаются в воду за рыбой, а затем выплывают на его спину. Как только водокрылень опускается глубже, то они возвращаются в стаи на ледниках.
Яйца эти существа имеют, но будьте аккуратны, когда их берёте — если поблизости окажется особь, охраняющая яйца, то это может плохо кончиться.
