These apex predators deal massive damage and can destroy vehicles. Other dangerous creatures include the Sandshark and Stalker, which are moderately dangerous but can still overwhelm unprepared players.
Can you tame or befriend creatures in Subnautica 2?
Subnautica 2 does not feature a traditional taming system. However, some creatures like Stalkers can be temporarily distracted by feeding them metal objects or fish. Most creatures remain wild and cannot be permanently tamed or befriended.
Do creatures respawn after being killed?

Which creatures drop useful materials?

Cooked fish like Peeper and Boomerang Fish provide food and hydration. Check each creature entry above for its specific drop table.
How to avoid Leviathan class predators?
To avoid Leviathan-class predators, travel near the seafloor or along biome edges rather than open water. Use your Scanner to detect creatures before entering their territory. Equip a Seamoth or Prawn Suit for protection, and carry a Seaglide for quick escapes. Learning each Leviathan's patrol route and territory boundaries is key to survival.
