To me the void Chelisarets kinda look ill, so maybe they’re older than the red ones and the reason they do less damage is cause they’ve been muscled out of territory with good amounts of prey by the healthier ones?

@thatonejester3387 10 месяцев назад

Chels are by far my favorite Subnautica creature, They are cute (I ended up naming the one in the purple vents Billy Bob) but can be pretty scary once they start waving their jaws around and making clicking sounds. Due to their roar being extremely similar to that of the cryptosuckus, you can sometimes think you are safe when you actually aren't, unlike the reaper.

I will never forget my first encounter with this thing...I had just scanned the artifact underneath the east arctic, and while I was ascending up to my Seatruck, it swam directly behind it, before casually moving into the dark water and disappearing. Then while I was driving home I saw it's shadow above me. What ensued was pure horror

@HughJayness-pd5hn 6 месяцев назад

I had a similar first encounter with a reaper. I was in my seamoth scanning cyclops fragments in the mushroom forest near the mountain island. I had just gotten into my seamoth after scanning a fragment when I saw a long shadow on the seabed. I glance up slightly repositioning my seamoth when I saw a white curved tail flick just out of sight. I move to get a better look when the reaper descended upon me grabbing my seamoth with a horrible roar. I eventually escaped coming back to the same exact area later on with a stasis rifle and thermo blade/prawn suit for revenge.

Same. The reapers were probably more dangerous overall (due to sheer numbers and lack of bioluminesence), but they were too goofy-looking for me to give them more than professional respect.

The Void Chelicerate doesn't have a grab animation, which means while 1 can bite you the other 2 can bite you after to kill you or your vehicle faster than a chelicerate. If 3 normal Chelicerate were around you, while being grappled by 1 you'd be safer from the other two. Point is, Void Chelicerate remain more dangerous.

I can tell they were trying to make it interesting, but essentially trying to live up to the Reaper was a doomed venture. It lacks that predatory behaviour, dominating presence and very personal body shape. What I mean by that last one is the mandibles on the Reaper ensure you have a very face-to-face encounter with your killer. Below Zero just seems to have swapped out the presence of their Leviathans for a kind of sadistic gruesomeness. Be it the futile struggling of the Chelicerate and Squidshark or the Shadow Leviathan’s bizzarre and cruel predation.

Correct me if im wrong. But it makes sense that the larger version would be weaker because it has a slower metabolism because of what i assume to be caused by it eating less than the normal version. If i remember correctly in the deep dark ocean theres a squid that is alot bigger than a normal squid but is also alot weaker than a normal squid. Im no scientist tho.

@TheDemonOfSemen 2 месяца назад

Honestly, I hope that Chelicerates and Reapers make a reappearance in Subnautica 3, both are brilliantly designed creatures. But to avoid Chellies being a disappointment like in Below-Zero maybe the devs can give them louder, threatening distant roars or screeches like Subnautica 1's leviathans, also making their hunting grounds murky would also be a good way to build the fear factor.

@adastrawill 10 дней назад

Just a note; I do not think the orange parts are barnacles, but instead, the loss of their original colour from being out in darker and colder waters instead of thermal vents and age of course, the white/greyish colour is their aged colour, while red is their nascent colour. The Red Chelicerates imo are young ones, and the ones in the void are their older counter-parts, similar to how you find mostly non-adult ghost leviathans in the map areas but then in the void, they are much bigger and "Adult". The fins themselves glowing may also be the result of transitioning into darker and colder waters as a means to communicate with their kind, but also simply a maturing aspect of the creature. The size imo is also a factor.

@cjthenarhwalking1378 4 месяца назад

My theory for the coud chelicerates are that they suffer from a mutation similar to gigantism found in humans, i.e. the hormone that normally is released to stop growth failed to activate and as a result they continued to grow. Do to their increased size and confined space of sector zero they moved to the void to stop swimming into things. Edit: this would also explain their weaker attacks, as the uncontrolled growth makes the muscle strained and weak.
