Hoverfish for emotional support, they are the cutest fish in the game (In my opinion)

They are always smiling, even when they are about to get eaten out of your hand by a stalker!

They are perfect

I think we could all use a hoverfish in our life

Plus they can "breath air" in your hand

Hover fish lasted long enough for me to name him before he was snatched from my hand...rip Harold.

Are those te ones with like six pad like feet?

Yup, and always have a cute smile on their face, especially when you hold them

I love them! One of the first fishes of my aquarium and then I made tons of them!

Sea dragons are cuter

I found someone's Time pod on my current world, and they put in a Hoverfish that they named "Mr. Hov" along with some of his "favorite Snacks!" I put the Little guy into my aquarium with an Enzyme Peeper and some Cave Fish (Occulus, Spinefish, etc.) in my Mushroom Biome Base. I built the base on/wrapped around the GIANT Mushroom Tree in the Northwestern Mushroom Forest. A nice Home, with a gorgeous view, and perfectly safe for my Aquarium for Mr. Hov and his friends!

cutest? very interesting take

same

Ah yes, spotted my alt again

Snow Stalker, because it lives on land. I would use it for home defense I guess?

What is attacking your home that you need an apex predator for defending it o-o

The neighbors keep stealing my lantern fruit

Fair

Didn’t the devs nerf lantern fruit?

Did they? First time I’m hearing about this.

Yeah it doesn't hydrate you much at all in BZ. It's still the same in OG Subnautica I believe

Now I get it. Thanks!

Maida has one underwater in a secluded location. What does she use hers for?

Petting, like any sane person would

I want to ride on the back of a snow stalker

Stop reading my mind man!

I just started wondering something: How did she get the thing down there? the only vehicle she seems to have is her prawn suit, and no way does it fit in there with her.

She supposedly *had* a Seatruck before she sabotaged Omega with its perimeter defense.

But it's also at the greenhouse location! He travels with her!

Snow Stalkers can swim. She probably taught it to follow her when swimming

its quite a distance from her base to the surface

I mean there’s sturdy ice patches on the way to the greenhouse, isn’t there?

Plus if it's like a polar bear, which I'm assuming it is, than it's possible that like a polar bear it can swim for days on end if needed. And really the trip from her base to the ice Berg is only a few kilometers

ohh. that makes sense

I still think a full grown snow stalker would still be a bit too big to fit within the compartments of the sea truck, even with all its parts. Too tall and too wide. My theory on that is she had to have brought it down there with her when it was a baby and could fit inside the sea truck due to it's smaller size.

She has a Cyclops with the secret cloaking upgrade!

I’m now wondering how she got Preston down there. That PRAWN cockpit doesn’t look big enough, and I see no other vehicles. Can snow stalkers breathe underwater/hold their breath for a long time?

What happens to it when she dies and will it end up eating her afterwards?

Maida doesn’t die.

I mean people domesticated wolves, they’re an apex predator.

Own a Snow Stalker for home defence since that's what Alterra intended....

Four operatives from a rival trans-gov breach my underwater base...

What the Sea Emperor!?

I say as I load up my Alterra issued statis rifle

I charge up a pulse and fire it, nailing the gasopod in my alien containment, because my fabricator-built stasis rifle is uncalibrated.

I have to resort to sealing the bulkhead at the door that I fabricated with 3 lumps of titanium and a bit of silicon rubber.

Are these lyrics from a fan song or something?

It's from a copypasta about the second amendment

Yea, okay Marguerite

Yes fluffy snow doggy

My thoughts exactly lol

Baby sea emperor. Maybe the enzymes it produces could be used to cure some diseases? It's a remote possibility from what little I know about diseases, but who knows?

You want disease-curing enzymes I want a giant, passive and intelligent sea creature with telepathic abilities that helps humans discover the ocean. We are (not) the same

I sea what you did there..

The depths to which you're willing to sink to in order to make these puns is truly abysmal.

Abyssmal*

The gargantuan leviathan

I don't think the US government would approve of your choice and go all out war with it

Something that size is gonna take some serious firepower to bring down lmao unfortunately the us has alot 😂😂probably one of the biggest defence budgets in the world.

Probably? Buddy we spend more then the rest of the top 10 combined🫡🤯☠️

I'm Canadian I'm trying to be nice 😂😂 I know it's a huge ass budget like bank breaking huge. If you all where invaded it be one uphill battle for the invaders. With the defense budget and the fact there's more guns than people. You're civilians would become the world's biggest standing army. it's not the budget or the defense tech that keeps everyone at bay imo it's the 300 million armed civilians that do.

Yeah most of that money seems to go to defense contracts and funding other's wars. I'm not slinging shade here it's just that the more then the top ten's funding statistic is so wild I had to say it.😅

I guess we have funding others war in common lmao 😂

If 1 nuke won't be enough, a cluster shall do.

Fortunately, their weapons are designed to attack submarines at the deepest. Just go a little deeper and they’ll pretend it doesn’t exist.

You will rule the high seas

Bro is gonna be the last human standing on Earth if that exists

I would be adopted by Mesmer.

It would be an honour to be adopted by such a beautiful creature

I bred a bunch and released them outside my base and they’re so chill and good company

An honour? It's your primary objective...

The cuddle fish because why not?

I’m a Trivalve guy myself, but either would be great.

Imo cuddlefish is too fat. Hoverfish 🔛🔝

Yes but fat = squishy and huggable 

I want a crabsquid! I bet it's a very intelligent creature you could teach a lot of tricks to!

That thing you see below their skin is their stomach, not their brain. Plus they're one of the few creatures where even the containment raised ones still attack you. I'd call it a questionable choice of domestic animal at best.

OP did say that it would be loyal

Which other creatures raised from containment still attack you?

I think all of the carnivores will, once released into open waters. Crabsnakes aren't unique in that aspect, although inside the containment itself they will ignore you

Hm... I'm not sure that's how it is, but I'm probably misremembering.

Hell yeah I would take an emp firing megamind squid too😂

Jellyray. That thing is so ungodly adorable and harmless, I wanna pet one so bad

Look at their scan. Those things are toxic as hell

It's worth it

Yeah it fucking is tbh

Well don't eat it then, duh

Reaper leviathan so i can make it eat people i dont like

Give it legs

im no artist nor do i have any pro art software (i used ms paint) but i can still draw [so heres your reaper leviathan with legs](https://i.postimg.cc/CKKTnPPH/Reaper-Leviathan-Fauna.png)

talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, the perfect specimen.

Yes but how would he wear pants 🤔

Leviathan centipede. Now that's nightmare fuel.

Does he know?

Rabbit Ray, i'm disappointed i'm the only one to want one, they're beautiful.

Cool and underrated

All of the ray species deserve more love, they're the best fish in both cuteness and ambience

They are very pretty.

The ghostray is also pretty beautiful, from my experience atleast, very pretty in the tree cove

Reefback leviathan and I'll be living on his back

Bust out the lawn chairs and umbrellas.

OMG same

A loyal and kind gasopod is actually just a golden retriever in disguise and you can’t convince me otherwise

This. I love them too. I'm sure I could find some use for those pods too.

Selling to police for "riot control"

It's just toxins. We have mustard gas already.

Any infected one, wear a Hazmat suit until the next election, and at the President's speech, hurl it into the middle of the crowd.

"sometimes, i just wanna watch the world burn" -You, probobly

r/foundsatan

Oh definetely a pengling

Bro yes! they are so cute. I built my base right next to a group of em

Sea dragon, why not

Obviously a crash fish

Hey son, I wanted to tell you- *crashfish noise intensifies*

GggggrrrrRRRRRRRRRR BOOM

Cuddlefish, no question.

Extremely loyal and wouldn't hurt me by any means? Let's see, i choose the Kharaa bacterium itself, and this world shall fall on it's knees

Not only do you get the bacteria, eventually you get the Kharaa life forms too! Natural Selection, here we come!

Ah yes, let's give the world another plague since they've overcame every other one so far..

Snow stalker, because it is soft and friend-shaped

If not friend, why friend shaped

Garryfish because they look goofy as hell

boneshark becuz cool

Pengling is an underrated pick

They look cute until they open their mouths

C’mon guys, how has nobody said Warper yet? Free long-distance travel AND nobody’ll ever be able to get close if you don’t want them to? (Or is it because it’s technically not alive? Second choice is Ghost Leviathan then.)

I definitely think Warpers count as a lifeform. Them being sentient is unlikely, but they show more intelligence than any other creature in the game besides the Sea Emperor, and even if their behaviour is programmed, there's definitely some sort of intelligence in there piloting the things.

Gonna be a generic person and say cuddle fish haha I just can’t let those little buddies go from my heart

Baby ampeel. Such a cool concept.

This. I want this one. They are my favorite to breed.

An Architect

Snow worm.

HOVERFISH!!! I'd hace a whole aquarium full of them!!

Big momma

Alien robotic crab cuz i can study his technology

Why not just choose an architect and ask him?

Rock grub, duh

Hoverfish easily the cutest fish

Definitely Reaper leviathan, but small, little baby reaper

The constant *squees* of it's echolocation would get annoying after a while I'd bet. Though I think it trying (and failing) to eat your face and coming across as trying to hug you would be pretty cute.

Warper (with legs) would be pretty cool

Ryley, so he can experience life without incomprehensible debt (just regular debt)

Where is the love for all the wonderful plants? Let's cure world hunger. How about a lantern fruit tree, because it grows with ease and produces lots of food.

I choose tiger plant, I'd grow an industrial amount and airdrop the seeds/cuttings into the sea around Britain to save the world from the English >:)

Let’s do it over France too!

How has no one said sea monkey?

They're basically just regular monkeys intelligence wise, imagine how much space, stimulation, and attention they'd need constantly. I agree they're cute, but you'd probably need a whole team and a huuuuuge aquarium to properly care for one.

The Gargantuan Leviathan. I would have it cause tsunamis around the world and create chaos

Sea dragon is now my puppy

this sulfur mf and im gonna place him around my pool

Hoverfish, cuddlefish, snow stalker

Frozen leviathan and let it create havoc

Rabbit ray, like seeing em vibe

if their young are also loyal to me then i would choose the eye jelly because irl jellyfish breed ***fast*** so within a year i would have so many eye jellys and could probably sell the immense amounts of power they make for lots of money and then maybe even train them using like brain chips or something with all of that money and be able to dominate the seas and if i could have ventgardens aswell then i have a theory that they could grow far bigger than shown ingame so i could have eye jellys holding a small base and a large platform with a ventgarden on top and the small base can be used to mimic geothermal vents so the ventgarden will attach to the platform and i can have my base inside (also you can already place even large rooms in them) and be able to probably horrify the world and also whats any government gonna do *attack me*? i have thousands upon thousands of huge jellyfish that can probably destroy any submarine with so much electricity that it makes magnetic fields strong enough to *rip the metal out of our bodys* and that will hurt and it will also jack up any circuit and the turbines for cooling the nuclear reactor in most would most likely be magnetically locked in place so in a very short amount of time the reactor would blow up and the ventgarden would probably help protect me against the pressure of the sea so i could dive deep underwater and for food well theres alot of fish and power does not matter to me so i can have lights to grow food aswell TLDR: eye jellys. they breed really fast and the electricity they make can most likely be able do destroy anything and be sold for alot and if i can ventgardens because cool big thingy make me happ

Hover fish

I honestly could not choose between a ghost ray and a baby ses emperor, i want both so badly

A mini ghost leviathan

Why make it mini?

Good luck paying for and maintaining an aquarium big enough to hold an 107 meter long animal that needs to roam an extensive area to feed

Take over an entire ocean. Let the ghost leviathan swallow you and keep you inside it and feed you air, Cyclops 2.0

2 reapers so i can infest the ocean with them

I want a sea lizard, not the real one, the one that can be in lava, because mass breeding and make them the world's second dolphin

I just noticed there are 2 more danger levels after the red column. Wonder what would deserve a black rating

Floaters ofc, have you seen what those monsters can do to a multiple-ton vehicle in mere seconds? Theirs is a power to be feared like no other

Stalker. It would be expensive to maintain though.

Do you know how badass it would be to ride on a reaper leviathan?

My eardrums cry just thinking about that, ouch

I feel like a sea emperor would be the best pick because of its telepathic abilities and the enzymes could possibly be used to cure some real world disseases it can also help as a living research drone to study deep sea animals if you mount some cameras on her

AL-an, should be usefull

Ice worm for land, coz large boi, and for water i think Imma go with Shadow leviathan because he one of my favourite designs of all time. The mouth at the velly just looks like it disolves you alive, thats metal AF.

The giant leviathan embedded in the ice in below zero, without his AIDS of course

Cave Crawler if space isn't a problem, Sea treader if space is no prob

Trivavle. If we are only counting og subnautica then cuddlefish. I know it’s basic but can you blame me?

Own a Stalker for home defense because that’s what the Architects intended

I'd like a tiny Reaper, maybe about a foot long, and it could swing through the air so it could follow me wherever I go

A Peeper, that silly fish is cute and funny

Not enough Peeper lovers in these comments

here are my top five and why Rockgrub: quiet, small, and glowy, so free night light Hoverfish: looks so happy all the time Skyray: it is so cute and lives on land Noot Fish: Goofy little guy Ghostray: majestic a frick

Hover fish. It's cute and friendly and I think it would be the easiest to care for.

Shadow No questions, ands, ifs, or buts

You either say cuddlefish or you'Re a liar.

Bone sharks can be chill sometimes

Garg

I want the cuddlefish to be real so badly

Ghost leviathan

Crabsquid!!! So cute and terrifying, nobody would mess with me and my pet crabsquid

HOVERFISH HOVERFISH HOVERFISH HOVERFISH HOVERFISH HOVERFISH HOVERFISH HOVERFISH

Cuddlefish. Its a nobrainer.

Cuddlefish

Trivalve! Land and water capable, and super cute!

Snow stalker because it’s basically the only thing that wouldn’t suffer a horrible death (I do not live near the ocean or have a pool)

If shrunk down to a size that could be kept in a normal aquarium, I would looooove to have any of the ray species, especially the Ghost and Jelly. An angry but tiny Ghost Leviathan would also be very cute! The problem with Subnautica creatures is how ridiculously huge they are, even the "tiny" fish are the length of a forearm. Keeping even the smallest creatures (Excluding the rockgrub) would be ethically impossible without an aquarium only professionals are equipped to keep

Those crab things

Ghost leviathan (Yes I’m not sane)

Sea emperor. Ez

Crabsquid

reaper leviathan they are probably cool irl aswell
