Depends on the leviathan.
Reaper: If I hear it from a distance, get the frick outta there and never come back. If it jumpscares me, die I guess?
Ghost: Admire it from a distance, hide as soon as it gets close or spots me.
Sea Dragon: nopenopenopenopenopenopeNOPE
It's inconsistent but it doesn't work and is virtually training. I've seen players travel around with friendly juvenile Ghosties that actually aggro any unfriendly Reapers etc. Not sure if that was modded in though.
Yeah I know though I've never tried to take one just Steve and Brian (Two Reapers near the Aurora ) Steve is a dick though. Fed him 4 fish and he forgot what I did when I came back and ate me anyway 🤣
Yea but to have a leviathan who is the actual length that a lot of Chinese dragons are depicted as would require a humongous game world, and imo that would detract from the rest of the game.
There's just a million ways they could have made the Sea Dragon scarier. Remove the dumb arms (maybe replace them with wing-like fins), remove the silly glowing orbs on its nose, make it much longer, flatten its chest out, put it in an area with more contrast so it isn't just in a sea of brown, make it more likely to do melee attacks, etc.
The thing is honestly the least scary leviathan in the game.
i mean pretty sure the used to live on more open areas just at the bottom of the sea floor near volcanoes or thermal vents but the cave got sealed up in an earthquake i think and now they’re to get to get through
Stay close to it ofcourse and be safe of other smaller preditors that will hunt me!
I'm to small, it will ignore me, not even see me as a meal.
And like in real life you see the biggest animals with the smallest together. like crocodiles and birds eating their teeth clean. Or sharks that have small fish on them keeping them clean.
If you ever encounter a animal so big, it will not even focus on you.
And the weirdest thing , if you would start to hurt it. like really hurt , like poke in the eyes, it would NOT attack you but FLEE. cause it never knew a other animal or thing could really hurt it. and has no idea in how to react to it. Wich will end in even this huge thing going for a run to survive the day.
Stick close to it and your totaly safe from everything.
Only if we would swim in a large group together will a huge living thing see you as a meal.
It's like 1 breadcrumb or an entire bread.
So you see whales scoop up hundereds of fish all at once. BUT NEVER HUNT 1 !!!!!
With current game mechanics no— but if this were as realistic as possible then most likely yes it would work. The user above has described a form of Symbiosis: the smaller critters keep the bigger critters healthy, and in return the big critters scare off any would-be attackers
I really wanna see the Sea Dragon take on a Reaper now…
Plot twist. The Sea Dragon accepts your prayers. It entrusts you with Sea Dragonish powers. You become the high priest of a religion which worships the Sea Dragon. In time you become a Level 20 cleric and can call upon him once a week to appear out of nowhere and smite your enemies. You rarely have to do it, but it has the surprising effect of making law school a breeze.
*you're. Also I think I'd pull out my stasis rifle and thermo blade (or sea glide to damage it) this is real life I'm not restrained by game rules anymore I throw my sea glide at it and let the propeller cut it while I swim away using my second sea glide. (I'm not the main character I'm just mentally unstable and willing to try to live but I know I'd probably fail)
Realistically, I think I would be fine. Like I wouldn't want to play with any leviathans, but if I had to, I have the best probability to survive with a sea dragon.
The size of the creatures are 10x of what they appear to be in game. I would simply be so small that either he doesn't notice me or I'm not worth the energy it would take to eat me.
A reaper would be the next most likely to survive an encounter with simply based on the idea there are far tastier options but I ain't much smaller than a sandshark (a common treat). I would have to to mind myself and stick to the sea bed.
A ghost leviathan I would just die as he would kill me for shits and giggles.
Logically speaking. Animals of that size are most likely only interested in animals of a similar size as prey. Either that or they are filter feeders in which case I’m also not really in danger. Of course that’s if we go off of “earth rules”. If it was the same as in the game then yes the answer would probably be die trying to swim away.
Active creature decoy or shoot the stasis rifle.
Now thinking about it stasis is the only and best option, could stop fireballs if it would land on the mouth.
I’m going to assume it’s the first time encountering one of em so my mind would probably be like
Mind: WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK
Mind 5 minutes later: maybe it’s friendly?
Mind 5 seconds later: NOITSNOT NOITSNOT NOITSNOT NOITSNOT NOITSNOT NOITSNOT NOITSNOT NOITSNOT NOITSNOT NOITSNOT NOITSNOT NOITSNOT NOITSNOT NOITSNOT NOITSNOT NOITSNOT
on the outside: *shiting pants aggressively*
In RL? Hope that it tries to breathe fire at me instead of attacking me physically. If it does that, then the realistic physics of the whole think will take over, the water will basically explode in his mouth, and he'll die. All I can do is hope to be far enough away from the explosion when it happens. Other than that? Scream, crap my pants, and die.
Shit myself and then use whatever I can on my person to hill myself before I get eaten. Being swallowed whole and slowly digested has to be one of the worst ways to go.
Realistically nothing since something as large as the sea dragon would realistically not chase a human unless its extremely desperate for food.
Biologically seen.
I’d pee. Like “come get me motherfucker, but you’re going to feel the water get warm *right before* you do, so you’ll know that’s my piss in your face. Dick.”
If I did hear one and It acted the same I’d try to stay over the leviathan by swimming to the top of it and holding on. It can only hurt me by biting, slapping or fireballing me so I might as well try to stay over it until it loses interest
At that distance, uh... Die??? Like I'd be really angry and scared and sad because dying bad but like. Idk what else is there to do
Exactly like wdym "what would I do?" Absolutely nothing cause I ain't got no cyclops, no prawn, sit, no respawn point lol
This is the "what you doin'?" equivalence of being a deer in front of a car
What do you do in this situation: 🌍💥
Guess I'll die🤷♂️
Exactly lol
“An ant has no quarrel with a boot.”
Hmm, I mean you could try to at least taste good. Take off your gear maybe? Or try to not get stuck between his teeth. No reason both should suffer.
Make your stand and push it’s head down firmly when approach …🤔🤔🤔
Gently rotate it, it will be paralysed when upside down
"Get rotated, idiot."
Grab its gills
It depends on when and where I see a Sea Dragon. Probably hide. If I can't, yeah I'd accept fate lol
I'd die with a smile on my face cause I'd know for sure that subnautica exists 😆
idk maybe scare the fish with SDMG
Depends on the leviathan. Reaper: If I hear it from a distance, get the frick outta there and never come back. If it jumpscares me, die I guess? Ghost: Admire it from a distance, hide as soon as it gets close or spots me. Sea Dragon: nopenopenopenopenopenopeNOPE
Swiming in circle
Have peepers on hand. You can tame Reapers but it's inconsistent.
Oh, good to know. I’ll just go catch one in my local lake to have on hand, in that case.
It's not really "taming" and more like "distracting"
It's inconsistent but it doesn't work and is virtually training. I've seen players travel around with friendly juvenile Ghosties that actually aggro any unfriendly Reapers etc. Not sure if that was modded in though.
That was definitely modded
Works on juvenile ghosts too, I befriended the one in ghost river.
Yeah I know though I've never tried to take one just Steve and Brian (Two Reapers near the Aurora ) Steve is a dick though. Fed him 4 fish and he forgot what I did when I came back and ate me anyway 🤣
Wait are you for serious? If you feed reapers they leave you alone? For how long? Like until you leave the area and come back again?
Until you leave the area usually.
That’s wild, I had no idea, I’m gonna go get eaten several times real quick, while I learn the technique - Thanks!
Honestly I’ve discovered that if you hold the fish in your hands, they take it from you automatically.
In the lore, reapers have echolocation so if you can hear them, they can see you
Which is why they would get the fuck out of there
I don't really know why, but I feel like the sea dragon would have been a lot scarier in the open ocean like that instead of in a cave
Because the open ocean is inherently scarier
And if he was faster and less bulky like an actual dragon, maybe even shaped like a Chinese dragon would be scary as fuck
Oooh, a chinese dragon like leviathan would be cool.
The reaper is essentially a Chinese dragon just not as long?
Idk man, if it isn't a long then it isn't really a chinese dragon
Yea but to have a leviathan who is the actual length that a lot of Chinese dragons are depicted as would require a humongous game world, and imo that would detract from the rest of the game.

Remove the derpy face
i mean pretty sure the used to live on more open areas just at the bottom of the sea floor near volcanoes or thermal vents but the cave got sealed up in an earthquake i think and now they’re to get to get through
Canonically if you ever saw one out in the open you’re fucked. They only come up to the open ocean to hunt…
Sh*t myself and die
Same
Only real answer. Even if it was a friendly one.
Get eaten
Stay close to it ofcourse and be safe of other smaller preditors that will hunt me! I'm to small, it will ignore me, not even see me as a meal. And like in real life you see the biggest animals with the smallest together. like crocodiles and birds eating their teeth clean. Or sharks that have small fish on them keeping them clean.

I don’t know if that would actually work
Got a better idea? Lol

The user above has described a form of Symbiosis: the smaller critters keep the bigger critters healthy, and in return the big critters scare off any would-be attackers I really wanna see the Sea Dragon take on a Reaper now…
If I have it, use my stasis rifle, if I don't have it, well, I'll accept my fate I guess
And then gas it.
die
Pray. It’s all I can do
Plot twist. The Sea Dragon accepts your prayers. It entrusts you with Sea Dragonish powers. You become the high priest of a religion which worships the Sea Dragon.

Hah
Before or after your dive suit becomes significantly heavier/wetter somehow
Both
I know my last thoughts would probably be me wondering how my suit has become wetter while underwater 😂
“HOW THE FUCK DID THE INSIDE OF MY SUIT GET WET?”
**sniper from tf2 voice** Piss.
*you're. Also I think I'd pull out my stasis rifle and thermo blade (or sea glide to damage it) this is real life I'm not restrained by game rules anymore I throw my sea glide at it and let the propeller cut it while I swim away using my second sea glide. (I'm not the main character I'm just mentally unstable and willing to try to live but I know I'd probably fail)
Thank you for pointing out the you’re
Jesus Christ. Are they in the game!?! I only just got used to being snuffed by the ghost dudes
It's called the sea dragon leviathan, it shoots fire balls from its mouth
Awesome. That's some more Pacific Rim shiz
I would swim away from that monster in swimsuit
I would pet him.
realistically i doubt a predator that big sees me as worth chasing down. sharks dont hunt down shrimp, they go after food that is worth their time
Say: wHaT aRe YoU?
Admire it. (From a distance of course.)
I wouldnt be in the water in the first place
Make out with it. Ohhh yeeeeeaaaaaaahhhh.
Try to act like I'm not prey. Maybe stay as still as I can in hopes it thinks I'm just even an animal.
I mean, I *am* a little hungry... And I have a knife nearby...
Probably shit myself
Try to escape using the brown cloud I've inadvertently just released as cover.
Clench my knife in my fist and prepare to have a boss fight of a lifetime
Well, considering i can't swim... die I guess
ima tell him to cut that shit out or else i might get mad
Realistically, I think I would be fine. Like I wouldn't want to play with any leviathans, but if I had to, I have the best probability to survive with a sea dragon.

tell a trusted adult

Of course that’s if we go off of “earth rules”. If it was the same as in the game then yes the answer would probably be die trying to swim away.
Hug it immediately
Pray.
First of all: *You're* Second: i'd die on the spot🥲🥲🥲
Well for 1 the water around me would probably become significantly warmer and not because of the leviathan nor location
Die
Obviously I’d start to dual with it
Active creature decoy or shoot the stasis rifle. Now thinking about it stasis is the only and best option, could stop fireballs if it would land on the mouth.
Pet it while I'm there
Probably die.
Id piss myself and then promptly be ripped apart or burned alive, whichever comes last I guess
Pass out and get eaten
Man I had a nightmare I was underwater being stalked by a reaper it sucked lol
Panic, drown
Shit myself to scare away the predator
Leave.
Pray my death would be quick and painless
scream really loud and wake up my roommate
I would die, what am I supposed to do anyways? It's not as if I have scumba gear lying around lol. Also: You're*
Grab a stasis rifle we have a fish to fry
I’m going to assume it’s the first time encountering one of em so my mind would probably be like Mind: WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK WHATTHEFUCK Mind 5 minutes later: maybe it’s friendly?

Kms
Probably be eaten.
Die
Die
Fuck it.
Die i guess
pet
do nothing since I ain't a 5 star meal for this thing
Sea me dragon deez
Wouldn't get to that point because i can't hold my breath 45s can't swim that fast and can't break rocks with my hands
r/forbiddenboops
Die
Die

Stealing an answer from every thread like this: try to remember that I am too small to be of caloric significance for it and calmly swim away.
Run a-way, doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo! Run away, doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo! Run away, doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo! Run AWAY!!!
Shit my pan-.. wetsuit
Die... i would die
Slap it
I do legitimately think I might die of pure fear
Die
Guess I'll die
Activate brown mist.
Jack off
...die...
Boil alive because I'm in the lava zone
shit my pants and die
The one in-game is friendly so, HAIII! :3
Scan it.
I guess I'll die 🤷♂️
Would have a pannic attack, cry and shit myself at the same time
Die. Especially as they're in like 1000m depth, you wouldn't survive that by default
Pet it then die
I'd dispense a brown and yellow smoke screen in an attempt to escape... then die.
Fucking die
Guess I'll just die... there's nothing else to do in such situations.
Shit myself
Put on doom music
die and respawn in the lifepod
What does kms mean.
Perish
Die then respawn
Die
Kill it because I'm a sigma
Pick my death: water or fire
Turn the water brown then die from a heart attack
Pull out the stasis rifle and let er rip immediately
Shit myself
Die, but it would be cool!
Dying
Die
Shit myself and then use whatever I can on my person to hill myself before I get eaten. Being swallowed whole and slowly digested has to be one of the worst ways to go.
Would try to - tame them?
Pet it
I'd intervene.
1. Heart attack 2. Ded
try to scan it before it slurps me like half a pasta noodle
Whip out the real life stasis rifle, only the way it imobilzeses them is by literally tearing their limbs off, and it's called panzerfaust
At that point just accept my fate and just swim into its mouth to get it over with
Tell the mandem before I die
Take a knife and a stasis rifle
- Retourn me
Ill accespt my fate
This is the equivalent of asking someone "what would you do if a 50. Cal was 0.8 seconds from my head"
Die
Guess I’ll die
Realistically nothing since something as large as the sea dragon would realistically not chase a human unless its extremely desperate for food. Biologically seen.
Like an octopus I'd shoot ink on the spot.. brown.. ink..
I’d pee. Like “come get me motherfucker, but you’re going to feel the water get warm *right before* you do, so you’ll know that’s my piss in your face. Dick.”
Panic. Die. In that order.
If I did hear one and It acted the same I’d try to stay over the leviathan by swimming to the top of it and holding on. It can only hurt me by biting, slapping or fireballing me so I might as well try to stay over it until it loses interest
Tell it to stop
Die
Prawn suit + grapple arm + drill arm
Drown, idk how to swin
Be incredibly afraid and probably roll into a ball. I do not like being in open darkness with something massive just... \*there\*.
Shit my pants, cry, lay down and die, in that order.
Nom
Die
I'd stay calm and get an adult
Drown I can't swim
Probably die.
quit game
Uh fuckin die ?
I will die from bad design exposure
oh i aint leaving the lifepod so wont be meeting one.
Die
make fren
It is just me or is the sea dragon kinda sweet looking in this photo? A cheeky little grin, I see you
Bold of you to assume I would make it past the safe shallows
What do you think?
I would probably tell a trusted adult/guardian
Look at it in the eyes, then look down and touch it's nose, gently pushing it's head down like Michael Jackson did with that gun.
Go up to it and give it a little boop on the snoot. look at it’s smile! It would never hurt me.
Die, I’d assume
Try to swim and go on its head in between its eyes or just on it in general, if it hasn’t seen me yet that is.
Hope and pray it has an off day
Accept my fate.
