Some reason I got bored and named two of the Chelicerates in BZ cause for the other two regular overgrown shrimps I couldn't figure out what name would suit them... I named the one in the Purple Vents 'Shimp' (Let's face it, everyone calls them a massive shrimp because of what they look like) and the one next to the Lily pads 'Shard' because I seem to think that 'Shard' s dorsal fin is bigger than 'Shimp' s is even though they're practically the same size but I think that's because of the brinicles in the zone where 'Shard' is And if I had to name a Ghost Leviathan (Or all of them since I get bored easy) then the ones in the Grand Reef would be Casper and Lumia, Uhhhh, The one in the Blood Kelp would probably be Auriana. Uhm, (I'm using a generator for some... I'm bad with coming up with names) The ones in the Lost River would probably be... Nyx, Mist and Salem That's what I would probably name them
I actually really wish this was a post-story game thing we could do. Collect concentrated enzyme 42 and go out directly curing infected creatures. I hate what happened to this poor ecosystem
@@dunnydunn500 I seem to remember hearing something about them originally being intended to be about the size of a bus, but the FoV of the game is so wide that they didn't FEEL big at that size, so they just kept scaling all the big creatures up until they got the effect they wanted
This reminds me of a story I wanted to write years ago, right before Subnautica was completed. It was about a researcher bonding with a Reaper named Charlie, one that lives near the left back engines of the Aurora In-game. I wanted to base it off of how certain people have been able to bond with sharks in real life, being able to hand feed them and even pet them.
Meanwhile, I have my story about a boy who ends up on the planet of Subnautica, but in the freezing area of below zero, and begins to be adopted by various creatures, including 3 levyathans
@@Bailey-bw3ng Nope. If you have a peeper in your hand when a Reaper charges, it will take the peeper and leave you alone. The theory is that they're smart enough to know that eating peepers make them feel better
I really like the idea of the leviathans having kharra because in the game they don't, also the fact the you could heal them with enzyme 42 just makes it so much better! Great animation btw!
Thank you! And yeah, I think it’s a bit strange that leviathans don’t exhibit Kharaa physical side effects, except for frozen leviathan. So far, I can’t find an explanation on why, but my guess is that they DO have it, it’s just that the symptoms won’t show.
I can just imagine the big guy waking him up in the morning and he has to try and get the reaper to not do that because it would lead to heart attack lol. Tamed or not, there’s a moment of panic when that thing looks at you and you have to realize that it’s chill.
This could actually be real. Reapers are super sensitive to sound, since they use sonar via their roars, so if you raised one from birth, they could theoretically be very easy to give audio commands
As much as i love this animation, the pda made it very clear that reapers are mostly muscle and very little brain, surviving off of pure malice is just how they are
@@davidhamilton6883 I wouldn't say so. Though the PDA did state that, I'm not sure they're as malicious as they are opportunistic. Actually, that's why I think reapers hang out by the Aurora. To eat the cave crawlers lured in by the new "land" and maybe even score some survivors. That sound on par with the animals on earth, and most wouldn't call them malicious; therefore, such categorization may not befall reapers.
Love it! Can you imagine if this was actually possible in-game? People would be freaking out! My favorite part was definitely when the reaper circled around his base and then stopped at his window and looked at him. If you know the UA-camr "Aci", then you'd know he would love this. I certainty do!
Thank you, that means a lot! And yeah, you should totally be able to befriend leviathans. Might be extremely unrealistic and of questionable stability, but I still totally want a big reaper hanging out with me around my base.
Being able to befriend a Reaper Is probably the only way to motivate me to approach them, right now It's Aurora and done, they are too scary for me [Edit] oh also, leaving the Cuddlefish with essentially a Reaper Big Brother/Guardian would have been amazing
BRO- NEW FAVORITE ANIMATION! I love this SO SO SO SO SOOOO much! I cannot express in human langue how underrated you are! I'm subscribing on EVERY account I know!
It is a well known fact that some humans will attempt to pack-bond with any creature they come across. What is less well known is that they will always succeed, given enough time.
I love this animation, turning one thebmost terrifying leviathans to basically a big cat is just cute and the animation just makes the reaper look friendly
Yoooo, this is beautiful! I’ve always wondered what could possibly happen if you could actually make a Reaper passive :> I actually love the slower/choppy frame rate style, it looks great!
Fun fact: The Reaper Leviathan is practically enterly blind. They use their roar as a form of echolocation. Their mandibles also come in handy for that as well. Using the mandibles to feel around their environments.
I like how this animation portrays the reaper as a big fella, i feel like i don't see that even in the main game (yes i have seen the size refs, no reapers still don't feel like big creatures in the main game to me)
It is underwater, lack of sound is actually accurate, and this entire situation is pretty heartwarming, now just keep him away from the garg, if you must leash him to the cyclop, also make sure that he knows that you are inside or else he will start trying to destroy it.
Idk if I'm late lmao, you got a sub, I came across this randomly and its sooooo sweet! I loved the reapers so much, I always thought they were just big territorial puppies! I kind of want one XD SHARE YOUR WAYS MASTER VANTA
In the game,using mods. You can summon infected creatures.All of them exept the reaper leviathan ,who can't get infected. In the game,a character(forgot the name)ate a reaper leviathan and became immune.
imagine if this was some sort of quest in game, theres one reaper that has kharaa and you need to cure it for whatever reason, perhaps its near death and won't survive until you beat the game so u gotta cure it sooner idk.
Great idea for a what if situation, but for me I would rather cure a sea dragon leviathan because I can get close to them without being scared in creator mode, and the sea dragon doesn’t make that horrible terrifying screeching roar if they grab your prawn suit plus sea dragon trumps reaper in a literal lore sense.
I don't know if it's still in the game, but you at least used to be able to passify reapers by holding a Peeper, like you could with Stalkers. It's as close to having a pet reaper as you can get
and thats why alterra never made it to 4546b due to tales of a cyclops towed by several 55 meter long leviathan class lifeforms just below the oceans surface
Imagine if there was like a mod or something for this, I'd really love to see an extension of this where it's riley and the reaper going on an adventure
This looks so cool! I also had a idea where you could have a pet reaper, while it was in its baby stage. So you would have to go to the big crater in the dunes and grab the reaper egg, then you have to escape with all the reapers in there chasing you! I made a commet with more things about this on TheLastBacons latest video ( as of now )subnatica if you had pets! ( I think ) Great animation though!
I actually did name a reaper in one od my games. I built a aquarium base in the bulb zone, right next to the lost river cave and built an entire aquarium with a pillar of large rooms with every species that was collectable, rhen multipurpose rooms all around it with separate environments for each species. Anyways, theirs a reaper that swims around that area and you can almost always see it. So i built a observatory and watched it and named him levi. Even put a image of him in my cyclops where my bed was.
I would love this as a mod. You can tame whatever creature you want. As for the story; I would guess the Reaper helps the guy track down the source of the virus, and they explore the underground tunnels to the lab. The Reaper holds off a Sea Dragon while the guy saves the Emperor Leviathan and her babies. He returns to see the Reaper badly wounded. He manages to heal him, but has to head home, leading his Reaper as the guardian of the Safe Shallows to the Mushroom Forest
I had a creative world with a friend for fun and i kept visiting the reaper at the front of the aurora,i think hes the only one there,I called him freddy and i fed him fish and it was a fun time.
The reaper leviathan in subnautica is very very large now imagine how big the sea dragon must be to be able to fit your ENTIRE prawn suit in its mouth.
if, for no particular reason, you had to name a ghost leviathan, what would it be?
Some reason I got bored and named two of the Chelicerates in BZ cause for the other two regular overgrown shrimps I couldn't figure out what name would suit them...
I named the one in the Purple Vents 'Shimp' (Let's face it, everyone calls them a massive shrimp because of what they look like) and the one next to the Lily pads 'Shard' because I seem to think that 'Shard' s dorsal fin is bigger than 'Shimp' s is even though they're practically the same size but I think that's because of the brinicles in the zone where 'Shard' is

Transparent worm
Casper the unfriendly ghost
@@BagOfCashews That's why I named one Casper specifically just for that reason
Specter

At least they do all get cured in the end (other than the frozen leviathan)
@@Cowboybeardie they're still in below zero to this day
@Greenlizor hello I keep finding fellow slugcat fans
Yes

Thank you for making Reaper's size accurate to the game. Most animators forget how big they actually are.
I was severely taken aback by their size
@@dunnydunn500 I seem to remember hearing something about them originally being intended to be about the size of a bus, but the FoV of the game is so wide that they didn't FEEL big at that size, so they just kept scaling all the big creatures up until they got the effect they wanted

that sounds so cool! I’ve got massive respect for people who’re able to bond with wild animals- it takes a degree of unconditional respect
I may or may not have murdered charlie with a heat knife and a stasis rifle two days ago.
YOOO COOL
@@Sarandiel423 LOL
Meanwhile, I have my story about a boy who ends up on the planet of Subnautica, but in the freezing area of below zero, and begins to be adopted by various creatures, including 3 levyathans

I imagine thats how you get closer to it before injecting enzyme 42
IT TOOK THE PEEPER!!
will it not kill you tho
@@Bailey-bw3ng Nope. If you have a peeper in your hand when a Reaper charges, it will take the peeper and leave you alone. The theory is that they're smart enough to know that eating peepers make them feel better

Leviathans produce enough enyme 42 themselves to survive, but sea dragons produce even more allowing them to spread it
Best guess for the beast is either the frozen leviathan doesn't make the enzyme or it doesn't produce enough to survive.
@@discodoberman Sea Emperors?
in the pre-release reapers were able to, but they removed it

I like how the repear looks at him, even tho reapers are usually blind
They see in black and white .

The reaper art is incredibly beautiful, simply amazing great work
why are you so underrated. this is amazing. I LOVE IT.
Bro, it's actually the best subnautica animation I've found in all my LIFE
Pet Reaper Leviathan? I wish!
(This is a really good animation though, also adorable!)
This is not al all half baked! its a great animation... you did good, take pride in your work ☺
why doesn't this have more views? THIS WAS FANTASTIC!
The sudden switch from calm to fear when hearing the roar is the most realistic thing i have ver expirenced
Idk if I'm late lmao, you got a sub, I came across this randomly and its sooooo sweet! I loved the reapers so much, I always thought they were just big territorial puppies! I kind of want one XD SHARE YOUR WAYS MASTER VANTA
Such a lovely concept, and so well executed
I watched this a year ago and forgot to save it for later. Lets say I was thrilled when I saw it again.
In the game,using mods. You can summon infected creatures.All of them exept the reaper leviathan ,who can't get infected.
In the game,a character(forgot the name)ate a reaper leviathan and became immune.
One of the best Subnautuca animations I have ever seen! Amazing job 👍👍👍
imagine if this was some sort of quest in game, theres one reaper that has kharaa and you need to cure it for whatever reason, perhaps its near death and won't survive until you beat the game so u gotta cure it sooner idk.
Bruh i cant explain how badly i wanted a pet Reaper bro... Out of all the Leviathans i wanted one so bad & this just melts my heart to see
OMG the animation is so smooth!! Also SO ADORABLE!! Keep up the great work!!!
This gets a sub, very impressive, i also really like the reaper design 👍
i actualy like this idea for some reason.
my inner child, wanting to tame a beast of the depths as a pet calls to me.
Make this a mod, I'm not asking you or telling you, I'm threatening you. Make this a mod or I'm gonna take away your cuddlefish.
Bro just got the strongest bodyguard in existance, i would have turned him into a killing machine
This is adorable, I love it. Masterpiece. 👌
You've got the cuddlefish and then you've got a giant, carnivorous, aquatic cat
This is good, if only there was more content like this…
honestly this is a pretty good animation
i like the reaper's design
+ as a subnautica player
PLEASEEEEEE LET THIS BE A THING YOU CAN DO
Great idea for a what if situation, but for me I would rather cure a sea dragon leviathan because I can get close to them without being scared in creator mode, and the sea dragon doesn’t make that horrible terrifying screeching roar if they grab your prawn suit plus sea dragon trumps reaper in a literal lore sense.
Why can't we have a giant water puppy?
That's a FUCKING REAPER!
but it's being cuuuuute
That was so sweet. Beautifully done.
Came for a second watch because this is just too adorable and I just noticed the cuddlefish holding the stasis rifle! Man, what a cute bro :3
I don't know if it's still in the game, but you at least used to be able to passify reapers by holding a Peeper, like you could with Stalkers.
It's as close to having a pet reaper as you can get
This animation is amazing and the ending is adorable
Nice work😍👍
You are one of the animation gods for me,please guide me to be a good animator like you...

WHY IS THE REAPER SO CUTE THIS IS THE BEST ANIMATION CUZ ITS JUST SO CUTE I CANT STAND IT❤❤❤❤❤
Jesus subnautica is such a good game. Just hearing the reapers screams in this activated my fight or flight. Fantastic animation too
Its eerie how large yet quiet it is unless it roars

This is perfect, i rewatch it for an hour already
