Here's the thing, because of how big the gargantuan leviathan was, it's likely that if it were in the game it wouldn't be hostile to the player simply because we are too small a prey and not worth it instead it would probably hunt other leviathans and reefbacks

There's always a bigger fish.

Alternative title: Look at the size of this Lad

Imagine you’re just driving around in your cyclops and all the sudden you’re cyclops Gets eaten whole

They should add a cutscene where you spot a living version of the last fossil on the edge of the void.

the third subnautica game should be: Beyond The Craters Edge

The last bacon: "Fortunately today, only their bones remain." *Laughs in gargantuan leviathan.*

I have a theory involving the gargantuan fossil. Such a creature, as you said, would take up HALF of the playable area, right? So, maybe part of the reason the lost river is so toxic and briny is because of the slow decomposition of the body. Over the millions of years, the body would surely release a lot of gasses and other stuff like that, which could have contributed to the current state of the river!

The largest leviathan is the gigantic reefback that the whole of the subnautica map is on top of.

The creature of the lost river probably ate ghost leviathan like spaghetti

I have an idea: if the player goes too far deep into the void or too far away from the crater, a cutscene would play where the last creature, 2x the size of the skeleton we see in the video, can be seen/heard in the distance. If the player continues, the creature races over to the player, destroying their ship. However, to really punish the player, the player can live, just without their veichle. All alone, in the middle of pitch black ocean, with ghost leviathans swarming around them.

Imagine if the gargantuan leviathan fossil that you can find in the lost river was actually a juvenile.

I am hoping with all my heart, that in Below-Zero, we'll get a fully functional and living Gargantuan class creature.

What if the void dosnt make up the whole rest of the planet and these leviathans are still living (possibly evolved) and hunting other super leviathans and dont come to the crater because there is no prey for them.

Reaper Leviathan: "You're nothing but prey" Juvenile Ghost: "Beg for mercy" Adult Ghost: "The only salvation for you now is death" Gargantuan Leviathan: "God is dead; I killed Him"

9:25 it looks like that staple remover thing 😂

It's scary just to think of how large the predators on 4546B could be. As much as it was a developmental thing to keep the player in the area, the void seems to go on forever. With that much space to roam gigantic creatures could live, probably bioluminescent ones at that. I wish it could be something in the game, finding a massive creature bigger than the Sea Emperor or even the gargantuan fossil in the Lost River. Even with how big the Emperor is, it's disappointing to see she only swims in a circle and then dies. It would be so cool to see a massive creature swimming around in open water.

I mean it's a small chance, but what if the species that the gargantuan bones belong to aren't actually extinct and are just somewhere in the void? (imagine one of those or something similar being in the artic DLC)

After all these years, I finally realized how those holes where made in the lost river, to be honest I never paid attention to them until now

I honestly can't wrap my head around the fact that he still replies to comments, it's a huge dedication to fans and I have massive respect that he cares a lot. subbed.

There is a chance that even larger super predators existed since there isnt much reason to evolve the thicc , bug-like armor plating . My idea is that the oceans of the planet got shallower and shallower as the volcano formed which made most of the large species either go and live in the void , somewhere around the mantle or go extinct. The chances of a meteor-like collision to cause huge water poisoning could also lead to the extinction of most of the titanic creatures. My theory on the heavily armored skeleton is that it was a plant (or plankton) eater who evolved its armor to protect itself and grew to larger sizes like what happened to the sauropods. Edit : this comment got super long . Good video

About the research specimen, I noticed that one "arm" has 5 fingers while the other only has 4. Due to these deformities I think the creature was a experiment by the Precursors rather than a creature brought to the lab for study. I thought that was interesting and you didn't mention it in your video.

There is noises in the void i hear when i go down there, mabye its the biter-looking huge fossil, or the last fossil on the list.

The thing is, the last fossils could still have living specimens far into the void

It really intrigued me about these skeletons. Multiple PDAs from alive species like the sea dragon leviathan, stalker, and peeper tell us that they are some of the oldest living creatures on the planet. It is possible that these creatures lived with these huge leviathans. Ancient Subnautica probably was a even more terrifying place. The gargantuan skeleton really intrigued me. A lot of the alive species like the reefback state that they grow so large because “there is nothing large enough alive on this planet that can bite through this defense”. It gives me a feeling that these creatures died due to starvation. If these things got hungry, they would literally be a living extinction event. It probably wouldn’t hunt ghost leviathans or reefback a, or most of the species alive, because only a select few are actually extremely old species like the aforementioned 3. It probably hunted other super-leviathans Side note: I’m pretty sure the gargantuan skeleton was actually 1300 Feet Long, because the chart of its size. Showed us “402 Meters”, which is about 1300 feet.

Subnautica 'Age of Titans' DLC would be EPIC

I can definitely tell that you put a lot of time and effort behind theorizing these intriguing lifeforms in Subnautica. You also pay great attention to the detail and subtle information provided to make well-supported hypotheses. Great work!

Just imagine your in the void and you turn to the right only to hit something so you hit the same substance but then you suddenly get thrown around only too realize you’ve been swallowed by the true leviathan size and turns out in the lost river was a very small newborn and that this one is 10x larger than the map

I’d love to see some sort of prehistoric subnautica DLC where we have things like these come to life.

I'm assuming that last gargantuan fossil got in it's resting place after the volcano formed over time and engulfed it it magma, then the soil formed, the lost river cave formed, and it was eventually unearthed because the plants in the area kept using up the soil, then the herbivores ate the plants, then the ghost leviathans ate the herbivores which practically ended up being a long chain which kept removing the material from the area which is now the lost river and carrying it to the void over millions if not billions of years.....I don't remember if we know the date when the volcano erupted or not..but this is my guess maybe ghost leviathans weren't even around back then, maybe another migratory species carried all of that material out to unearth the skeleton

Maybe these gargantuan ones just migrated long ago and are now evolved elsewhere?? Yknow since the prey in the crater is so small it isn't substantial enough

Thumbnail: Skeletal Remains Lore Me: *Skeremlor Letalainse*

I feel like the second set should be added. A ground based super leviathan to counter the prawn suit. Once you get it, nothing what so ever is a threat and the ground is normally safe. This would change that mindset

imagine if in a dlc the biggest monster in the video was alive

*extremely high pitched screaming intensifies*

What if this 3 creatures are stages The first fossil is like a larva And the second fossil is an adult And the third fossil is just godzilla cheated on mothrw and created the gargantuan leviathan

The Skeleton at 4:44 is the giant worm creature for the First Avengers Movie

I wonder how scary subnautica would be like if these fossil where alive

The second one kinda looks like an older version of the new experimental leviathan from Below Zero

The second skeleton I always imagine as the apothicon from revalations

I’d love it if someone would make fan art or speculations on what these things where like alive

Why can't skeletons play music at church? _Bacause they don't have the organs_ XD

The sound of the ancient skeleton being a centipede-type creature with a reptilian-like features is super cool!

You know, the second one looks like the ice worm from below zero, could be an ancestor? Edit: like some form of moray eel type animal?

5:30 That's an actually terrifying theory it would've been like a gigantic centipede with a mouth of a dragon

That second one is terrifying. It doesn't swim, meaning likely to get its food it would burrow into the ground then jump up out of the ground and swallow it's prey whole when they get close to the seabed. Gives me goosebumps knowing that (if they ever put it in) I would have the looming threat of being killed every time I touch the seabed.

It’s 2:03 am, I can’t sleep, and here I am, back on your channel

I would love an update where they add an expansion that had way more space, well nothing but water for miles and really really deep. Then you could find the even bigger leviathans.

*is driving my cyclops and I see a Leviathan class eel that is still alive and kicking* NOPE! *uninstall subnautica, uninstall windows, and burns laptop* may this unholy creature stay dead.......

I think the gargantuan leviathans had no longer many food for them so thats why they went to the lost river to go to the lava zone to eat the sea dragons but they were to large for them to fit and then they starved to death.

I've just started binge watching this lore series love the vids

I still don't know why the precursors haven't copyright strike this video yet

Is it weird I expected him to say deep down dark deep down dark like Jack says 😂

How do you make these videos so quick?!

I’ve said this before. I would love a Subnautica game where the skeleton remains are still alive. A version where you essentially play as 1 of the precursor, though it’ll most likely never really work out.

Damn, this just shows that the sea dragon was a peeper

Imagine if below zero had a very hard to find drop off that would lead like 2000 - 3000 meters straight down to a giant lava area with a living specimen of one of these creatures!

Keep up the great content! Hope your channel grows :) I subbed

videos like these makes subnautica truly masterpiece of a game

3:58 Databank: This lifeform was larger than anything else on the planet... Gargantuan Leviathan: *Am I a joke to you?*

at this point, im waiting to finish subnautica just so i can watch your videos .

The second one might be an early concept of the worm leviathan from below zero (which I know didn't come out until after this was made)

Alternate title: oh lawd they not comin cuz they dead (thank G O D)

I have a hypothesis about the 2nd one, it would be a isopod/crustacean because the isopod part comes from the curve on its back, you could tell it had the same bone structure as a giant isopod, also the holes in the skeleton would mean it probably had the legs of crustaceans, but it’s just a hypothesis

I'd love to see a sick battle in the below zero DLC with living versions of these 3 fighting each other!

What if the fossil that was found in the lost river, the second one in the vid, since TLB said that it would live and wander underground, maybe that the sound we hear in the void, because of its size we can hear it. Farfetched but is a little sensible

Man really still replying despite the video being three years old now but amazing video! Well deserved of all the likes and views.

4:14 Me after holding my smile for my school photographer taking thousands of photos:

There needs to be an expansion where you can play in the distant past as them alien thingys, or at least have a massive leviathan Trapped in ice in below zero

I think that it would be cool if Subnautica becomes a long series of games, the end of the final game should have a Precorser portal that goes to the core of 4546B, where you meet the biggest leviathan in the game, that the planet formed around. Then you and your Cyclops become seafood.

So apparently from what i heard (forgot where) they originally intended for the player to get grabbed by tentacles if they went too far down at the crater edge meaning it was probably a Gigantuar Leviathan

Imagine if you're just swimming and that creatures slowly swims towards you

Oooh boy, here we go. I have theories for all skeletons on this list. First of all, that little larva thing. I choose to call it that because that's what it looks like. The larva could literally just be in the baby stage, and the other armored one we see is an adult, i know people are going to pull the "But Neon! Bacon said the ribs and spine were different on the two fossils!" Card, and that's why i have another theory ready. So like i said, Theta could be some form of baby, and the ancient skeleton could be an adult. Here's why. Theta looks similar, and because the ancient skeleton is an adult then, the ribs on Theta would have fused together with the armor and it would begin to grow limbs under the armor, then they would pop out, leaving holes in the sides. The first two holes on Ancient could be for arms, and the rest for tiny legs that were like the Sandshark's but were more developed. Then the baby would, like us humans, lose its baby teeth and gain the bigger ones we see on ancient. It would also grow more eyeholes and eyes, just less developed ones, then its armor grew harder and more thick and polished. Now i don't play Subnautica for story and gameplay, i play it to research and study creatures, zones and biomes, and skeletons, so i know some shit. The second skeleton is harder. The void theory is actually quite nice, but, since the Ghost leviathans are.. well.. Ghosts, then what nutrients would the gigantic skeleton gain? Now, maybe its stomach could break down whatever solid material the Ghost leviathan would be made of. But as we see in the last cutscene of the game, the planet is much larger than the playable area we see, it most likely lives on the other side of the void, but goes there to mate and lay eggs, then it would go to the other side again to feed for billions of years. In that time the eggs hatch. Now the eggs would be massive, and so would the hatchlings. They were probably so huge, that they could feed on ghost leviathans that their less developed stomachs could break down, and when they were old and big enough, they would move to the other side of the void. The rest, we can't be sure about, hope you enjoyed! :-)

sigh, I love Ghost Leviathons but knowing they could've put one of these in the Void instead makes me sad.

No other KZfaqr will go so in depth on something that is dead.

Your a very cool and underrated youtuber, these videos are so interesting

really? the gargantuan leviathan was killed by a cave in. it was hunting in a huge open area under ground then a cave in (by either meteor or volcano) it got stuck and died while screaming out for help (why the jaw was open)

Interesting topic!

5:26 Congratulations. You made me have nightmares for weeks.

SkeRemLor LetalAinsE is the best way I’ve ever misread a thumbnail.

7:20 dwarf it would swallow them whole

*the dna test come back* me:realised that the gargantuan Leviathan was Irish me: I’m Irish too does that mean IM IRISH OH MY GOD NOW I SEE WHY I DRINK ALOT WHY I GO TO THE PUB EVERYDAY

I would love to see future Subnautica games, or anything really based on the times these creatures lived. The current world is already so amazing, and beautiful, it would be great to see what the terrain was like, and what other flora, and fauna lived alongside these animals.

Not sure why this is in my recommended but this is epic!

4:44 On this skeleton, maybe the holes were for giant fins? If that’s the case, where are the skeletal remains of those? Perhaps they’re underground? I dunno. Could have been legs.

4:12 dude it's literally a xenomorph

Sandsharks and bonesharks being supposed relatives yet having radically different biologies alone proves that Subnautica has a problem with a lack of consistent traits between species, even ones supposedly closely related. I’m going as far to say that tetrapods have more in non-superficial common with invertebrates than Bone bois have in common with sand bois.

i love listening to these lore videos

The most common skeleton is the “Mabel Eko Skello” you can find them around the giant metal reaper nest and the acid dust river place... sometimes near Sulfur deposits

0:53 wow for real ;)

Fun fact: someone made a mod bringing the gargantuan leviathan back to life. There are a few videos on youtube about it

3 years later this video still holds up as my favorite 😃

It would be very interesting if the creature that was the second skeleton is somewhat related to these gigantic ice worms or the black luminescent leviathan in below zerow. Maybe these two beings share this extinct common ancestor that crawled it's way through the ground of the void, who knows what was down there, and maybe more unsettling, is down there.

ONLY 9 DAYS TILL BELOW ZERO!!!!

"Yet deep inside he knew, he was the biggest monster of them all"

It’s fairly nice how when he’s being serious he turns a seeming nice information video into a horror story.

7:20 is anybody else getting SCP-3000 vibes from this thing?!

oh yeah yeah

I always will love to see a mod that adds stuff to the bottom of the void

I think the first skeleton could be a sea floor dweller, as it's body structure (from what we can see) doesn't seem fit to swim. Or it could be able to swim short distances, like the sand shark.
