Subnautica sea emperor juvenile12/27/2023 ![]() However, unlike Ryley, Danby developed visible signs of infection within three hours. The same happens to Medical Officer Danby in Lifepod 12. At this point it will warn him that the infection is reaching a critical stage and his skin breaks out into glowing green cysts. The infection only becomes noticeable when Ryley reaches the Disease Research Facility and is prompted by the PDA to perform a self-scan. This seems to be ineffective as Kharaa still ravages the planet around one thousand years after it was initially released.Īfter crash-landing on 4546B, Ryley Robinson is infected with Kharaa, though he only becomes aware of it after attempting to disable the Quarantine Enforcement Platform, as the deactivation terminal will tell him that he is infected and therefore cannot disable it, thus forcing Ryley to secure a cure in order to leave the planet. They will attempt to kill infected fauna to control the spread of the bacterium. Warpers were created to keep the levels of Kharaa to a minimum. According to Architect data, the bacterium is capable of entering the body through the skin, and causes an increase in aggression in its host. It accomplishes this by shutting down the immune system (already making the infected host susceptible to other diseases) and causing genetic mutation to the host's DNA, which causes alterations to the body structure, eventually leading to a total shutdown of the organism due to its inability to keep functioning properly. The PDA estimates that Kharaa incubates in two weeks and quickly kills its host after it reaches a substantial infection level. The Quarantine Enforcement Platform shoots down all approaching or departing spacecraft to prevent Kharaa being spread to other planets. This prompted the Architects to initiate their emergency quarantine: activating the Quarantine Enforcement Platform. This decimated the planet's ecosystems, as much of the life on the planet died due to the bacterium's immuno-repressive behavior and genetic corruption. After a Sea Dragon Leviathan damaged the Disease Research Facility in an attempt to retrieve its offspring, the previously contained Kharaa bacterium was released onto the planet. ![]() Their core worlds were quarantined off, and research facilities such as the one on 4546B were created to find a cure. It is possible this is not the true death count as the PDA entry only lists these as "Confirmed Deaths" which could imply further dead beyond what was known. It is stated in Architect data that the Kharaa bacterium has killed over 143 billion individuals over the course of time since its discovery, but the data is likely to be around 1000 years old. Once the babies have hatched, the adult Sea Emperor Leviathan will begin to die, as it has been old and sick while waiting for its offspring to be born.Īfter being hatched by the player, the Sea Emperor Babies will play with their parent for a short while, before being escorted to the Arch to go through it, going to various biomes where they will become juveniles.Kharaa was brought to 4546B by the Architects in an attempt to find a vaccine, as they had established outposts within The Crater. The Sea Emperor Babies, like their parent, are also able to produce Enzyme 42, albeit in a more stable form. The Sea Emperor Babies are offspring of the last surviving Sea Emperor Leviathan, having been unable to hatch outside of their natural conditions, the player must gather various flora in order to create Hatching Enzymes, which will then allow the eggs to finally hatch.īecause the Precursors had not learned how to hatch the Sea Emperor Leviathan Eggs naturally, they extracted a Sea Emperor Baby fetus from its egg and dissected it. Where an adult Sea Emperor Leviathan has two large structures on either side of the head, a baby has two small lumps.They have a defined neck, unlike adult Sea Emperor Leviathan.The upper body is far shorter, though the lower body is mostly the same proportion-wise. ![]() The arms are much shorter and more rounded.The mandibles are smaller and are further away from the mouth.The eyes are much larger in comparison to the head than those of an adult Sea Emperor Leviathan. ![]() The head has a much narrower appearance.The babies mostly resemble adult Sea Emperor Leviathans in appearance, though there are a few differences in their proportions.
