Friendly, neutral, or hostile. Know before you dive.
A small, bioluminescent fish with a large eye. The Peeper is one of the most common and recognizable creatures in the shallows.
💡 Survival Tip
Great early food source. Cook it for better hunger restoration.
A passive fish with an inflatable bladder. Essential for early-game water production before you build a water filtration machine.
💡 Survival Tip
Catch with bare hands. Each bladderfish can be crafted into filtered water.
A long, serpentine predator that patrols Kelp Forests. While not immediately hostile, it will attack if provoked or if you get too close.
💡 Survival Tip
Drop metal salvage near them — they sometimes drop Stalker Teeth while chewing on it.
A burrowing shark that hides in sandy terrain and ambushes prey. Found in open sand areas and dunes.
💡 Survival Tip
Stay near rocky outcrops. It cannot burrow through hard surfaces.
A heavily armored shark with a bony exoskeleton. Aggressive and territorial in deeper reef zones.
💡 Survival Tip
Use the Repulsion Cannon or perimeter defense to keep them at range.
A massive, apex predator with huge mandibles. The Reaper Leviathan is one of the most dangerous creatures in the game and patrols open waters near the Crash Zone and Dunes.
💡 Survival Tip
Avoid its patrol zones until you have a Seamoth with Perimeter Defense or a Prawn Suit. Stay deep or hug terrain.
