Its actually insane that something like the boneshark would already easily be an apex predator on earth, but compared to everything else in 4546b it is kind of a pushover
It is because the camera rig subnautica uses has a very high FOV so the models are scaled ridiculously large, and yet look tiny for example: the reaper is the size of the Statue of Liberty in the game, but only appears to the player to be the size of a bus
Croc jaws are similar, they have a huge ass bite force, but it's muscles are meant to clamp down and hold so the croc can thrash you around. But you don't need a lot of pressure to prevent it from opening the mouth because the muscles for that are weak.
The most surprising for me personally is the Lava Larva. Even with them plastering themselves onto the Cyclops as a reference, it still never clicked that those things are basically people-sized.
I think Subnautica's scale issue might stem from the objects you can pick up. In game you can hold a floater in your hands like a football, but here they seem to be almost the size of a yoga ball.
@@gasiliangames7285the point was about the normal floaters the player can pick up, from a 3rd person perspective they look bigger than they do when you carry one
It's not that it's a mistake, it's just that on a graphic design level, it's extremely difficult or impossible to create a functional entity in a massive size and scale it with the rest of the objects so that it looks good in first person, without it looking deformed, with glitched textures, or crashing the game due to the memory it would occupy. Typically, only colossal sizes are used in third person or from an inaccessible distant point, and along with the old trick of making the object small; look at the Leviathans, sometimes their movement causes them to pass through their own body or rocks, and with the Leviathan Gargantuar mod, it's even more pronounced. A "practical" solution is to set the game's FOV as far away as possible.
This really scales up into the fear factor for Subnautica. From a First person perspective most of these creatures seem to look average size or smaller, but from a Third person perspective you can see just how big they really are and in/if a real world like this existed they can eat you in one bite/swallow. With these leviathans its on a whole other level, similar to the statement before, they look big in 1st but in 3rd you are no more than a breadcrumb to them, especially for the gargantuan. This make the oceans of Subnautica even more scary, just like Qui Gon stated; "There's always a Bigger Fish"
@user-hb5gp2nq3r It's just depth perception not working as well in first person. If you play in VR the creatures look their proper size. And the lengths are provided by the scanner in game. So if the model of a Sea Dragon is 112 m long and the scanner says it's 112 m, why would they be intended to be smaller?
The only drawback a first person view has, is you can't see the size difference between you and other creatures. If you could, it would instantly become 100 times scarier.

Nothing wrong with the Video (apart from that the sign in front of the Stalker sais snowstalker) i just once again wonder how anything on that Planet is able to survive with so many, so big Predators (even the smaller ones are four meters Long...)
i'd assume a lot of the fauna (in the original game, at least) survive off of phytoplankton, small insects like the rockgrub, and fish like the peeper since they're *all* around the crater with the emperor's tank vents. segregation is probably a significant factor as well, some spaces in the game are too narrow for certain fauna to fit through or just don't meet the living standards they require. for example, the gargantuan leviathan is estimated to have died because it literally got stuck in the lost river and didn't have a feasible source of nutrition. you also don't see reapers swimming around in the safe shallows, which is probably why the flora and fauna there are able to flourish so well
@@ems8903 the garg never got stuck in there as the pda said it was likely formed long after it died cause we were only seeing a small portion of it it would be too big to enter the lost river
@@e.m.m.i6054 What the PDA does imply is that it basically did get difficult for it to survive due to changes in the biomes, there wasn't enough food source around and it was too big to survive in those conditions, it ended up dying d the cave formed around its body over time thus making its own remains a whole biome
@@flauschigeswikingerschiff7541 look after months of resizing the thing. We ultimately decided to worry about the size if the head being accurate and it ended up making the length of the model 5km
Small correction at 2:47, the 'swimming version' is stalker, 'ice float' version is called a snowstalker. If someone still didn't get it, the maker of the video labeled stalker as snowstalker
If the gargantuan leviathan was somehow just swimming in outer space, would it be big enough to generate the gravitational force needed for a human to safely walk on it?
@@Tomato_Tomato_Tomato_q12to generate your own gravitational field you would need to be thousands of kilometers big to generate a gravitational field big enough for humans to stand on it And the gargantuan leviathan is only 5 kilometers big
Whenever I see these sizes it truly just boggles my mind every time! A true grievance I have with the game (besides the stuff with stalker teeth) is that the player camera always feels too big for what all the environment and fauna is… tho that could also be my fov for all I could know lmao. But thinking that everything is like 2-5 times smaller due to camera size vs what the size actually is… I mean the fear of each is still there, but the true perspective doesn’t feel easily conveyed. - Anyways! Aci you did such a good job putting all this together! Keep up the good work and awesome mind blowing content!
this video really proves that subnautica: below zero didn’t use all of its biomes to the fullest. why do i say this? because some of the medium and small fish i’ve never seen before. i’ve beaten the game twice, once on regular and once on hardcore. quick edit: i pin the blame on the biomes and not the fish themselves because if i can beat the game TWICE without seeing these fish once then that means they’re in some lost biome that isn’t important.
That was very well put together, I have not played the game but just watched a video of someone making a diorama of the Frozen Leviathan in resin & just needed some context, so thanks.
It's amazing that despite being a part of the Subnautica community for years, watching tons of videos on both games, there are still creatures that I had no clue were in either game.
I have a fear of open waters and Subnautica hits that sweet spot of horror and intrigue. I wanna explore and play but also I'm looking around every 5 seconds like a frightened chipmunk, thinking Cthulu is gonna show up
Technically speaking the Guardian Leviathan at 7:14 should be higher on the list if we knew it's confirmed full size. Even if the skeleton shows it to be around that size, the PDA entry suggests that it would be larger than any living creature encountered on the planet, meaning that if the Sea Emperor Leviathan is currently the largest living creature we know of on the planet (could also arguably be the Ghost Leviathan since it's hinted in the PDA entry that they don't stop growing) than it has a high indication and probability that the Guardian Leviathan is significantly bigger than 200m.
I think is easy to think that most of these are smaller than they really are because you’ll regularly see them inside one of your vehicles, specially in the Prawn since you’re looking everything through the perspective of a 5 meter mech, everything suddenly looks smaller that way
It's so wierd that the bone shark seems so small in your pov, and dies with 2 swings of the thermoblade, when based on its actual size it could swallow you whole 😲
thanks for this great video, my son loves this game and has been trying to explain all the creatures so this was great for him to show me and explain each one. we both appreciate your hard work 😊
I was shocked by the sight of the Pinnacarid, I've got a save where I hatched and released dozens and dozens of them, and though the ones raised in captivity are smaller, even the naturally-spawned ones look like they barely come up to your knees. The Cryptosuchus was also a bit of a shock, I didn't know they were that much bigger than the player! Unpopular opinion, I prefer the Pinnacarid to the Cuddlefish. I don't know why, but I find them so cute! I love it when you feed them, they follow you around, sometimes lifting themselves up and making a trumpeting noise while waving their fins/flippers!
I know 1st person can hide the scale of some creatures, but I did not realize how big bonesharks were (I always thought they were just slightly bigger than a stalker) and I wanted to nope right out of here seeing the crabsquid.
They should a photo mode in the next game. As overdone it is for most games, I think Subnautica could really benefit from it. Start getting eaten? Photo mode so you can see the size of the thing eating you and get the perfect postcard to send back to family.
There is nothing to worry about the Gargantuan Leviathan; this is just from a mod. It is a bit unknown why the creator added the Gargantuan Leviathan from a mod. Also, some creatures are larger than we think due to the water amplifying our vision so we creatures a bit smaller than their actual sizes
Thing is,people say gargantuans grow forever,which is a myth,but what isn't one is that the skeleton is a juvenile(as said by the wiki that the size of the skeleton is most likely 1 third of the original creature) the mod "architect's of the unknown" shows what we think a gargantuan would be but the actual size of an adult would be the size of the map making the gargantuan ENOURMOUS.(Said that "the original we planned was too big to fit")
1 third of the original creature doesn't mean it's a juvenile, that's a common misinterpretation. The pda entry meant that that was only a third of the skeleton of an adult. That would make the full skeleton around 1200m
@@yamev-tiny404 That's unknown information first of all, in the base game nothing is known about its skin. Also, it would be m not km and 1200 was a rough estimate. I'd say anywhere between 1200 and 1500 m.
@@gamiac4777 first of all the skin is theoretical due to thinking a massive creature like that would definitely have thick skin,and second thing,absolutely,we do not know the absolute size of it but it is probably above 1KM.
@@yamev-tiny404 Yes, in theory it could have thick skin, but as nothing has been confirmed we can't just assume. Based on pda entries, it is estimated to be about 1200m long so I'll use that as a rough value. Of course it could be slightly longer or shorter, which is why I gave it an extra 300m. Finally, even if we were to assume that it had thick skin, it surely wouldn't be several hundred meters thick.
These still always manage to blow my mind just how massive some of these creatures really are. Also how large would the Squidshark be with the mouth open and the "teeth" out
Technically the ghost leviathans in the void have more space to grow than the seadragons in those caverns, even if the ghost leviathans you see are 107 meters long, they can and will get bigger.
just having space doesnt necesarily mean they will grow bigger than everything else they could if they had indefinite growth but its stated they dont, and even with that they will still have a limit cuz food, size being harmfull eventually, and so on
Bro, someone needs to make a mod that makes every creature actually seem to scale, cuz even face to face with some creatures they don't seem as big as this...
Every time I see one of these for a first-person game I wonder about the artist's intent for the size of things. Did the designers make the game assets the size they wanted and ignore the way things look smaller on the screen, or did they oversize them so that things would look the size they had in mind?
From the Subnautica PDA about the Gargantuan Leviathon: "The skeleton that remains measures at 402 meters in length, and with the PDA estimating that it is only one third of the complete specimen, the creature would likely have measured between 1,100 and 1,300 meters long." I am curious to see where you get the 5k length from. GREAT video though. Very well-done!
same, it's so well designed and intimidating, and in game it has just the best biome purposefully made for it to be even scarier, AND the AI on that thing is really well done, especially when it comes out of nowhere just to scare you xd

Size comparisons blow my mind every time. Thank you for doing it again.
I wish there was a mod that could fully capture the size of all these creatures in first-person. That would make the game WAY scarier then with other mods. I'm also really surprised at the size of the hive mind. I always thought it was the size of the player
To put it in perspective, a Reaper leviathan is 180ft (55m) long, which is exactly half the length of a football field 360ft (110m).
I think the Squidshark is technically a Leviathan, though on the lowest end of the definition meaning it's roughly 20m long.
It is not a leviathan, it's way smaller than even the treader.
@@Aci_yt 1. The treader is a Leviathan
2. The PDA defines it as a Leviathan.
I know the treader is a leviathan, but the PDA entry for the squidshark is wrong.
If that were the case, the ampeel and the crabsquid should both be considered small leviathans
@@Aci_yt i feel like if it says it in game then thats what it is-
Nothing wrong with the Video (apart from that the sign in front of the Stalker sais snowstalker) i just once again wonder how anything on that Planet is able to survive with so many, so big Predators (even the smaller ones are four meters Long...)
i'd assume a lot of the fauna (in the original game, at least) survive off of phytoplankton, small insects like the rockgrub, and fish like the peeper since they're *all* around the crater with the emperor's tank vents. segregation is probably a significant factor as well, some spaces in the game are too narrow for certain fauna to fit through or just don't meet the living standards they require. for example, the gargantuan leviathan is estimated to have died because it literally got stuck in the lost river and didn't have a feasible source of nutrition. you also don't see reapers swimming around in the safe shallows, which is probably why the flora and fauna there are able to flourish so well
As Fluffy says the big ones get stuck.
I had the Juvenile Ghostie follow me to safe shallows. It got stuck a lot.
@@ems8903 the garg never got stuck in there as the pda said it was likely formed long after it died cause we were only seeing a small portion of it it would be too big to enter the lost river
@@e.m.m.i6054 What the PDA does imply is that it basically did get difficult for it to survive due to changes in the biomes, there wasn't enough food source around and it was too big to survive in those conditions, it ended up dying d the cave formed around its body over time thus making its own remains a whole biome
The gargantuan is wrong too
OK I did NOT know the Gargantuan levithan was 5000m big, but it makes sense cuz it is GIGANTIC
The model was from the return of the ancients mod in which the gargantuan is probably a bit to big
@@flauschigeswikingerschiff7541 look after months of resizing the thing. We ultimately decided to worry about the size if the head being accurate and it ended up making the length of the model 5km
On the wiki it's stated to be around 1500 tho

2:55 daaaamn that was sooo satisfying
Thank you I was afraid we’d have to put you down if that little guy didn’t swim through the hole fish
Small correction at 2:47, the 'swimming version' is stalker, 'ice float' version is called a snowstalker. If someone still didn't get it, the maker of the video labeled stalker as snowstalker
Yeah I was wondering why it said that
Same
Prob a animation error
@@Velociiraptorsame
I got it
whenever you encouter a blood crawler they don't seem all that big, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS, HOLY
Playing the game in VR really makes the scaling much easier to see.
If the gargantuan leviathan was
somehow just swimming in outer space,
would it be big enough to generate
the gravitational force needed for
a human to safely walk on it?
No not even 0.00000001% enough. The garg is one thing, space is another
@@Tomato_Tomato_Tomato_q12to generate your own gravitational field you would need to be thousands of kilometers big to generate a gravitational field big enough for humans to stand on it
And the gargantuan leviathan is only 5 kilometers big
@@isennen- its closer to 3km the 5km is just the size of the one from the mod and not the canon size
The Ventguard was insanely surprising to me
Wtf I had no idea, that Spiky trap is so damn big! Crimson and Ghost rays are also huge.
Whenever I see these sizes it truly just boggles my mind every time! A true grievance I have with the game (besides the stuff with stalker teeth) is that the player camera always feels too big for what all the environment and fauna is… tho that could also be my fov for all I could know lmao. But thinking that everything is like 2-5 times smaller due to camera size vs what the size actually is… I mean the fear of each is still there, but the true perspective doesn’t feel easily conveyed.

Anyways! Aci you did such a good job putting all this together! Keep up the good work and awesome mind blowing content!
this video really proves that subnautica: below zero didn’t use all of its biomes to the fullest. why do i say this? because some of the medium and small fish i’ve never seen before.
i’ve beaten the game twice, once on regular and once on hardcore.
quick edit: i pin the blame on the biomes and not the fish themselves because if i can beat the game TWICE without seeing these fish once then that means they’re in some lost biome that isn’t important.
That was very well put together, I have not played the game but just watched a video of someone making a diorama of the Frozen Leviathan in resin & just needed some context, so thanks.
It's amazing that despite being a part of the Subnautica community for years, watching tons of videos on both games, there are still creatures that I had no clue were in either game.
I liked how he swam through the blood crawlers legs. It’s small things like that that make this better than average size comparisons
I have a fear of open waters and Subnautica hits that sweet spot of horror and intrigue. I wanna explore and play but also I'm looking around every 5 seconds like a frightened chipmunk, thinking Cthulu is gonna show up
The question is, cthullu will apear If you keep going
And right when you think everything is safe a Warper comes along and zaps to right in front of it. Lol!
lord almighty it really do be like that
Technically speaking the Guardian Leviathan at 7:14 should be higher on the list if we knew it's confirmed full size. Even if the skeleton shows it to be around that size, the PDA entry suggests that it would be larger than any living creature encountered on the planet, meaning that if the Sea Emperor Leviathan is currently the largest living creature we know of on the planet (could also arguably be the Ghost Leviathan since it's hinted in the PDA entry that they don't stop growing) than it has a high indication and probability that the Guardian Leviathan is significantly bigger than 200m.
Not ghost, gargantuan

I think is easy to think that most of these are smaller than they really are because you’ll regularly see them inside one of your vehicles, specially in the Prawn since you’re looking everything through the perspective of a 5 meter mech, everything suddenly looks smaller that way
I used to think these sizes were exaggerated until I decided to play the game in VR, and realized how big all the damn creatures are
It's so wierd that the bone shark seems so small in your pov, and dies with 2 swings of the thermoblade, when based on its actual size it could swallow you whole 😲
Wow, i can imagine that took a lot of work indeed. Thank you, being a big Subnautica fan myself i loved the size comparisons 🥰
thanks for this great video, my son loves this game and has been trying to explain all the creatures so this was great for him to show me and explain each one. we both appreciate your hard work 😊
I was shocked by the sight of the Pinnacarid, I've got a save where I hatched and released dozens and dozens of them, and though the ones raised in captivity are smaller, even the naturally-spawned ones look like they barely come up to your knees. The Cryptosuchus was also a bit of a shock, I didn't know they were that much bigger than the player!
Unpopular opinion, I prefer the Pinnacarid to the Cuddlefish. I don't know why, but I find them so cute! I love it when you feed them, they follow you around, sometimes lifting themselves up and making a trumpeting noise while waving their fins/flippers!
I know 1st person can hide the scale of some creatures, but I did not realize how big bonesharks were (I always thought they were just slightly bigger than a stalker) and I wanted to nope right out of here seeing the crabsquid.
Good job with the animation - the comparison was overall really accouate. The only thing i found incorrect was the stalker was called a snowstalker
How is accurate? all creature sizes are noticeable exagerated
@@pimentocheese618thanks for having braincells

They should a photo mode in the next game. As overdone it is for most games, I think Subnautica could really benefit from it. Start getting eaten? Photo mode so you can see the size of the thing eating you and get the perfect postcard to send back to family.
Blood crawler is where i go head and draw the line. I would've had a heart attack seeing that in person
Snow Stalker, Snow Stalker. the second one is just a stalker lol.
Hats of to the person who swam in air for us
Is no one else freaked out at how big the Sea Treaders really are!?
No coz every thing else also seems very big
That one shocked me the most
There is nothing to worry about the Gargantuan Leviathan; this is just from a mod. It is a bit unknown why the creator added the Gargantuan Leviathan from a mod. Also, some creatures are larger than we think due to the water amplifying our vision so we creatures a bit smaller than their actual sizes
It wouldn't be an oceanic horror size comparison without an Eldritch God
if it were actually in the game it couldnt go anywhere it could only fit in the void
The gag was already there, before the mod
Thing is,people say gargantuans grow forever,which is a myth,but what isn't one is that the skeleton is a juvenile(as said by the wiki that the size of the skeleton is most likely 1 third of the original creature) the mod "architect's of the unknown" shows what we think a gargantuan would be but the actual size of an adult would be the size of the map making the gargantuan ENOURMOUS.(Said that "the original we planned was too big to fit")
1 third of the original creature doesn't mean it's a juvenile, that's a common misinterpretation. The pda entry meant that that was only a third of the skeleton of an adult. That would make the full skeleton around 1200m
@@gamiac4777 thatd still make it way more small,also you forget the fact that their skin and etc is very thick so id say around 1250 Km.
@@yamev-tiny404 That's unknown information first of all, in the base game nothing is known about its skin. Also, it would be m not km and 1200 was a rough estimate. I'd say anywhere between 1200 and 1500 m.
@@gamiac4777 first of all the skin is theoretical due to thinking a massive creature like that would definitely have thick skin,and second thing,absolutely,we do not know the absolute size of it but it is probably above 1KM.
@@yamev-tiny404 Yes, in theory it could have thick skin, but as nothing has been confirmed we can't just assume. Based on pda entries, it is estimated to be about 1200m long so I'll use that as a rough value. Of course it could be slightly longer or shorter, which is why I gave it an extra 300m. Finally, even if we were to assume that it had thick skin, it surely wouldn't be several hundred meters thick.
Playing this game in VR really puts into perspective the sheer size of these lads.
These still always manage to blow my mind just how massive some of these creatures really are. Also how large would the Squidshark be with the mouth open and the "teeth" out
The lava larvae being the same size as the player is crazy
Ahhh I love size comparison videos so much!
Cool how you kept the person tracking with the scaling differences, so we could see how it’d compare to our size.
Gotta give props to my boy Riley... he had massive balls to face all those damn creatures just by being assisted by AI and a set of titanium balls.
The Stalker's name tag says Snowstalker btw!
The creatures look a lot smaller in game, but this really puts it into perspective how huge these animals really are
These things don't look anywhere near this big in the game, like I knew they were big but seeing it from this perspective is insane
legends say that there is a gigantic ancient floater holding up the universe
Girls: Ugh, you're 1 centimeter shorter than us
guys:
is it weird that this makes me want to live on the planet more knowing how much bigger they are in real life?
Technically the ghost leviathans in the void have more space to grow than the seadragons in those caverns, even if the ghost leviathans you see are 107 meters long, they can and will get bigger.
In their info from the PDA, it told that they reached their limit of size
just having space doesnt necesarily mean they will grow bigger than everything else
they could if they had indefinite growth but its stated they dont, and even with that they will still have a limit cuz food, size being harmfull eventually, and so on
@@abdulhamidisavunmushamur8872 Ghost Leviathan's don't have a limit of size, the pda said they can keep growing after they reach adulthood
@@dragkuneesaku5419so he's still right, use your brain before talking
A yes the snowstalker 😐 2:48
I think it's the below zero version of the stalker
@@Tenderofyggdrasil no it is but for the regular stalker they put snow stalker
@@NYR_lover ah I see what you mean
Of course
Making it go through the holefish was just *mwah*
Keep in mind the reaper is already longer than the Statue of Liberty is tall. And it’s nowhere near the biggest.
Bro, someone needs to make a mod that makes every creature actually seem to scale, cuz even face to face with some creatures they don't seem as big as this...
Bro forgor gasopod ☠️☠️☠️☠️
The regular stalker is labelled as snowstalker by accident. Other than that you did a great job as you created a very informative video!
Bro made the entire video just to make that guy swim through the hole fish. No doubt in my mind
I don't think I've realized how many regular enemies would be able to swallow the player whole if they wanted to
Was looking for one of these yesterday.
Honestly I'm surprised some levitations even go for humans considering how small they are compared to them
Every time I see one of these for a first-person game I wonder about the artist's intent for the size of things. Did the designers make the game assets the size they wanted and ignore the way things look smaller on the screen, or did they oversize them so that things would look the size they had in mind?
4:38
The music here as it escalates into heavy foreboding dread as more monsters pop up is perfect.
Man i know how much efforts you put into this and i support you and i just wanted to say that you named stalker snowstalker.
the most shocking for me was the sea treader! he's absolutely gigantic!
Hey Aci, thanks for the vid. I have noticed an error in the video, you listed the regular Stalker as a Snow Stalker
Ngl it this is kinda calming to watch and surprising
From the Subnautica PDA about the Gargantuan Leviathon: "The skeleton that remains measures at 402 meters in length, and with the PDA estimating that it is only one third of the complete specimen, the creature would likely have measured between 1,100 and 1,300 meters long." I am curious to see where you get the 5k length from. GREAT video though. Very well-done!
These things look so much smaller in game but now looking at them next to my seamoth.. it clicks. And the realisation is scary lmao
I though the Shadow Leviathian would have been bigger. it is my favorite of them all
same, it's so well designed and intimidating, and in game it has just the best biome purposefully made for it to be even scarier, AND the AI on that thing is really well done, especially when it comes out of nowhere just to scare you xd
@@DeoNone69
To each his own.
My preference is for the Ghost Leviathan.
Juvenile sea emperor is bigger too, i saw clips where it chased a reaper and was bigger, probably the same size as an ice worm or reefback
my favourite is the reaper bc thats the first one i knew about
Videos like this leave me a little disappointed that there isn't a 3rd person option in game to visually compare during a playthrough.
2:50 some people will say that's not a snowstalker, and they are right, that's a bold snowstalker
It’s a shaven Snowstalker…
…a shaven and amputated Snowstalker…
…with a different mouth…
…everything else is mostly the same tho!
the multiplayer in subnautica 2 is gonna make this so much more clear in game
Sea emperor: I'm the biggest fish around.
Gargantuan Leviathan: Hold my beer
