The Ice Worm - Subnautica’s Tunnelling Terror 

The Ice Worm is such an awesome Leviathan! When I first encountered it it sure as hell gave me a scare. Seeing the dead one is also really cool! Gotta say tho I am happy that thing can not swim haha.. that would be super scary. Also its design is so cool! I built a small base in the ice desert just because the Ice Worm is near there haha!

I love how this guy can do a video about a creature in the game and make me intrested in it!

As someone who knows about worms, i am absolutely seething at the fact the ice worm canonically has bones

While it technically doesn't swim... I wouldn't say that it can't. The way its horn melts the ice as it burrows, it basically _does_ swim, but through ice instead of water (and yes, I am aware this is an oversimplification).

Very few times have I liked ending scenes where people point out their other videos. You are one of the very few aletho, because you actually make it really entertaining and engaging lol :)

These lore vids are so relaxing to watch and a good thing to watch for starters

By far my favorite creature in all of subnautica, ive been waiting for this

I wanna do work in marine biology and ive always admired subnautica and all the made-up creatures it has in it, it was always fun to read all the information the PDA gives you but this series feels like im watching a documentary and it feels SO GOOD. Tysm for the amazing content and i hope you will make a video for the shadow leviathan aswell❤

Even though the ice worm is a great idea and creature, its implementation in the game is awful: first of all it's restrained in a little area instead of being more present and there's also the fact that its attack forces you to get down the snow fox so that you don't have a chance to move away. Still great video, as always!

Another amazing study and it's on one of my favorite leviathans!

I never used snow fox so iceworm was never a problem it cant do crap to a prawn suit

Ice worm would have been so much cooler if they werent as common and annoying.

The ice worm was an awesome concept but I feel like it was a missed opportunity, the ice worm is only really surprising the first time it jumps you and it does such little damage that you can easily complete all the land sections just by running through on foot. Still a really cool creature tho. I’m also starting to think you have a secret pengling fuel operation going on..

*’Nam style flashbacks to Tremors*

I absolutely love these videos!! There’s so underrated! I’m so interested in the biology of Subnautica and especially the leviathans! Good job as always! 🎉😊

for those who want to scan a ice worm theres a dead iceworm that seems to have died recently also you can scan its bones

brilliant video and research, but i must say the ice worm isn't really as scary when you can make a beeline across its biome to the point of interest on foot and be absolutely fine - potentially needing a medkit or two

I knew I wasn't the only one using them as fuel!

Another high quality video of this epic youtuber!

I was going to make a comment about the similarities between Ice Worms and the Shai-Hulud from Dune. But you made the connection too. 😂

Heart attack worm

new aletho vid!! i found the ice worm really terrifying, even if it's pretty easy to avoid. excited for new content!

Dune but with ice

Nice now i know more about the creature that makes me want to cry❤

Yay new video!!!

Can you make a video about Brain Coral next?

Damn the Maker and His ore deposits. Damn the coming and going of Him. May His passage leave the world. May we keep the world for our people.

Love the lore videos good job keep it up

Let's go I've been wanting a video on the ice worm

ayyy new video

Another great video :3 Keep it up

Keep up the good work with these videos

What a good surprise

The first thing I said when I saw this was, "Oh yes." I love the ice worm and was excited to see this video!

I am really happy that this year is in the back I thought you were done with it lol

These videos are really interesting. I love learning nore about this games creatures

Another way to avoid the Ice Worm? The Prawn Suit. It’s nigh-indestructible to Ice Worms and can for some reason break the goddamn sound barrier with it’s thrusters and grapple arm on land.

As a superheated but also frozen bug creature, it's a bit like D&D's remorhaz, but that's more centipede than worm. Vague cousins, at least.

Nice vid bro, i was busy so i couldnt see it, btw is the shadow leviathan next?

It’s a good day when Aletho uploads

I think subnautica 3 should be about an investigation team sent to investigate all of the disappearances and the rest of the planet. If they go this route of story the devs can make dlc leading to different story events and biomes. It would be nice to go back to the crater and arctic areas as well as explore newer ones. Even let us see the void area

I’m surprised the resemblance to duna’s sandworm wasn’t mentioned. Specially with the way the thumper functions similarly to the sandworm “bait” described in the books and now shown in the movies

I have been waiting for a new one for so long

Can’t wait to see a shadow leviathan video from you

Perhaps after all leviathans are covered. Then maybe you could cover other, unique creatures. Like what you did with the Warper. Maybe the sea monkey, squidshark, cuddlefish, crabsquids, etc.

I fear no leviathans, but that thing… it scares me (I’m serious)

Good vid!

So basically the side-mounted spikes on the Ice Worm act as burrowing treads? Neat!

This is the national geographic of subnautica

Wormy boi Not a brain coral but still cool He's a real hothead

I love the ice worm. When i first encountered it, it was terrifying. Just unfortunate you cant scan it as i love doing that

The first time I heard of the ice worm I was just thinking:I NEED TO GET THIS GAME NOW.

babe wake up, new aletho video

i don't know what you said but it still was interesting

Aww i was hoping youd mention the graboids from tremors

Subnautica dev are watching your video to know more about their own creatures

I wonder if the Ice Worm from Armored Core 6 was based on this, it's very similar except for being much, much, much larger and mechanical

Sorry I'm late for release! I figured I'd play a game that came out 2 days ago...but I'm here now!

North of the border has got to make one of these

This was a great video. I also have a question/request: will you do one about the Shadow Leviathan?

Danke

My favourite leviathan

4th video of asking him to do one on the sea emporer ad calling it "Subnautica's Damsel In Destess"

I never new what the hell thumbers do until i saw this video thanks

Basically an evolved graboid

Too bad this Levithan is absolutely annoying to go up against - In Snowfox, get hit off every 2 seconds - In Prawn Suit, a bit better, but you go mock 7

the ice worm’s centipede body & hot tipped spikes resembles remorhaz from dungeons and dragons.

I think it and the shadow leviathan as well theta and it's relatives are related to the ancient skeleton

Uh well i did not know the below zero is 4546b too i mean preety interesting always though it was an other planet

If i payed attention in class as much as your vids i wouldn't be failing 😂😂

I think that the ice work is the only leviathan that actually scares me, the sea dragon and the ghosts stress me out, and the reapers are now just fun to fight. To be honest tho, I wish I could play subnautica for the first time again and have that absolute terror on my first reaper encounter. Edit: yes, I forgot about the shadow and the cheliceralte leviathan. The shadow also still stresses me a little bit ( but not much because I have scanned it twice ).

There's nothing better than the thrill I get when outrunning these guys in the snowy wastes.

Watched a few of your videos and they are so captivating!

Yeeeeeesssss you uploaded the next time please do the sea emperor leviathan it's the best one for me please

How many of these are you gonna make me watch ;-;

i actually never knew below zero had a DUNE refrence

It reminds me of the dune sand worm

2:02 “Melted water”

Knifehead + mongolian death worm = *this* Also what if the ice is thin, and the ice worm takes a swim through the ice sheets, and attacks.

Instead of the PDA we should just have this guy😂

my question is how this guy records these critters

Man this is like one of those science documentaries

Review the shadow leviathan

i have a personally theory on what could have killed that Ice Worm, the most bad-ass person in survival game history, Marguerite Maida!

I like the concept of the Ice Worm. In execution...I was disappointed. It was more an annoyance than a threat, knocking me off the snowfox instead of just eating me. I was expecting the snowfox to be able to outrun the thing like in the trailer, but no. Apparently, if you're not on the ground on your own two feet, you're just safe. Let's look at the other Leviathans. Reaper? Dodge to the left or right to prevent getting gored by it's maw claws. Emperor? Move fast enough in a Prawn Suit and the projectiles it launches will likely not hit you. Ghost? Seamoth with speed upgrade. It's not that fast and it can't grab you, though best tactic is to hide in a hole until it loses interest. Ice Worm? Just ignore it. Pick a direction. Go that direction. Repair Snowfox after a hit. You could replace the Ice Worm with rough terrain that damages the bike and nothing would change. There is no tactic needed. Just go. There is no aggressive Leviathan in the first Subnautica where the best way to deal with it is to treat it more like it's an annoyance than a threat. Add in that the areas the thing dwells are wide open with "DESIGNATED WORM AREA" signs about, removing the threat of it coming at you in a place you wouldn't expect...It lost all intimidation for me. The most dangerous thing about it is it wastes your time which could make your meters run out, but by the time I went there, I had the Survival Solved Salad which might as well have just removed those meters entirely. If they do make another Subnautica game, I hope they go back to the design ethos of the first game. I want threats. I want scares. I want to have to change my tactics when I hear a Leviathan's call. I want Hardcore runs to be tense. In Below Zero there's just no threat. There are only two tactics needed. Perimeter Defense System, since everything dangerous grabs you and takes a moment to do damage, or ignore it and keep moving. If this level of safety was late game stuff and didn't cover every Leviathan threat, that would be fine, but when mid game tech makes both the showcase threat and the final area trivial, the game's balance is all wrong.

I finally was smart enough to subscribe to you but now i will ask for smth. pls next video talk about: Sea Monkeys,The early game porch pirates and rest game free FedEx delivery guys of sector zero.

What if the Frozen Leviathan is the natural predator of the Ice Worm?!

Pretty fire but annoying. Great video like always!

Giant freaking earwig

I remember when I first saw it I shitted my pants (I don’t actually shitted in my pants)

zaaaaaaamn the ice worm is lookin uhh, kinda T H I C C C C C C C C C C C CC. C C C C C C

How is the shadow leviathan video doing today.

SHAI HULUD!!!!

ice worms... sand worms...

I like to think about ice worm and frozen leviathan is fighting for territory

5 bucks that the next video will be on the Squid Shark.

I'm late But good video But there is one Leviathan you have not talked about In The first game The sea Empress Just Curious if you're gonna do that.😮😮😮😮😮😮😮.

Did anyone else have a fish tank pacifically for breeding penguins four they’re bioreactor

Ice worm is why I gave up on trying to travel with the Snowfox. I had the anti ice worm module, and it did NOTHING! Trust me, the Prawn suit is a far better option.

B.S.H.W Big,scary,horned,worm
