![]() That's why I was asking your ideas about food chain, Actually, more than food chain, it would be interesting to observe some kind of "pecking order". I am in experiment phase, the last phase, I suspect, before packing and leave the game for good, and would like to try create a place where this kind of struggle might happen. I do not want to see that, just know that it is possible. And a beast like that should have prey it can crush with that mouth. I suspect they will just ignore each other. I am afraid of bonesharks, so I haven't been observing them too close, but they are a perfect example of a predator that should have bigger prey, instead of peepers and boomerangs.Īnd an experiment putting together bonesharks and stalkers, for example, should show the two engage in some sort of struggle. And this leaves the carnivores with even less choice. It is explained very well how Rays' evolution made their flesh poisonous. So this leaves the stalkers with nothing to be hunted. But no, of course, the gasopods release lethal stink bombs. Neighbours like stalkers and gasopods should engage in some kind of struggle. Of course I don't expect a complex system, like the one we have on Earth, where we have intelligent predators like orcas hunting in pack, solitary ones with their own techniques to kill big prey etc, but on the other hand it would have made sense to introduce a middle size prey. But they will eat minuscule fish".įor what is possible to see, the only killing and eating we can observe is between all the carnivores and small fish, which seems weird. "We must have big scary carnivores that will kill the player. What I think is that the food chain looks like it's missing more than a few links. So it's safe to say that the food chain has more than a few missing links. The planet and number of creatures as it is not is not how it was a little over 1000 years ago, at which point a mass extinction event wiped out most of the life. Potentially years, if not hundreds of years in the most extreme known case. The eggs of the creatures that can lay them can stay inert for extended extended periods of time. So long as there's two of them they can breed. ![]() We'd also need to note some of the major differences between this world and ours Įvery singe creature on this world are hermaphrodites. It goes without saying that SPOILERS are inbound. ![]() It's aggressive nature is purely territorial. Indeed it's interesting to note that the creature that could best be called the alpha predator on this area of the planet is, even though there is by all accounts plenty of its prey of choice, going extinct.Īlso one of, if not just the most, aggressive leviathans on this planet doesn't eat other creatures bigger than microscopic lifeforms. According to the wiki (unofficial), all that’s required for a creature to be placed in the category is for it to be really big.Not every creature need some bigger fish that eats it to keep its numbers down. I just wanted to explain something I thought of and found interesting from me looking up what the hell Leviathan actually means. They are Leviathans because the devs say so and it’s their game. ![]() Note: Just to clarify: This is my opinion, I don’t think they fit the bill for what I think a Leviathan should be. So, because it’s size doesn’t compare to other Leviathans, and because it’s a snack for another Leviathan, in my opinion, the Reapers aren’t actually Leviathans. There are 2 more in the ALZ if I remember correctly but still, this means that it’s not very uncommon for the Dragon to get himself a meal from the surface. The Reaper is sometimes dinner for the twice as large Sea Dragon which sometimes takes a trip up the LR, and drags a Reaper down to the ILZ.Īnd remember, there is 1 Sea Dragon in the ILZ. In the Inactive Lava Zone you find I think there are 4 Repear Leviathan skeletons. BUT IT ISN’T EVEN AT THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN And the Sea Emperor is dwarfed by the Gargantuan Skeleton found in the LR which is around 1000m.Īnyways, compared to it’s diet of small fish, stalkers and bone/sandsharks it’s pretty massive. It’s half the size of an adult Ghost Leviathan, and the Sea Emperor is beetween 3 or 4 times bigger. OK, so is the Reaper huge? Yeah, but, relative to others? No. Now, the term leviathan could be interpreted in many ways, combining a few definitions, this is what I found best describe them: Huge ocean monster that is the top of its food chain.
