The Emperor encountered in the main story of the game is the last of its species as well as extremely old, even by its own species standard, it has remained trapped inside the Primary Containment Facility since the disappearance (most likely extinction) of the Precursors.Īge: Varies, the one encountered in the game is around 2600 years old, though this is well past the average lifespan of the speciesĬlassification: Aquatic Lifeform, Leviathan Class Filter Feeder, Grand Leviathan When the Kharaa bacterium was released onto the planet, billions of creatures died, destroying the food source of the species. It is suggested that in the past these creatures would have traveled in small herds, occasionally coming to the surface to feast on the microorganisms in the shallower water. Despite this, it is a completely passive species, only feeding on microorganisms due to its colossal size. The Sea Emperor Leviathan is the largest living species of fauna known in Subnautica.
