  Fun fact that has to do with the vent spider: yeti crabs are a sea creature that live around vents and have hairs covered in chemosynthetic bacteria, which they eat!

  I feel like the Ice Dragon could've been implemented into the ecological dead zone instead of a variant of the Chelicerate. One of the problems with the Sea Dragon Leviathan is that it's in an underground cave and can easily clip into the walls and ceiling. The Ice Dragon wouldn't have that problem because the ecological dead zone is just open ocean.

  I like how every time they mention a terrifying feature of these creatures they're like "here's an example of that on Earth"

  The Rotnest is an interesting idea but I feel like it's nasty enough that it should probably be the main subject of its own game, rather than being a secondary threat. That kind of virulent zombie parasite plague would be a big deal.

  I honestly feel like instead of using the Void Chelicerate they should have gone with the Ice Dragon. You would only encounter it at the edge of the map where it's open water so the size of the Ice Dragon wouldn't be hampered by glaciers or other environmental objects.

  It’s so cool that you can see a lot of resemblance to many of these concepts in subnautica 2, and things like the sandpaper just got added completely

  The ascender worm would have kind of been a funny one because one of my biggest issues with both games in terms of realism was the fact that not only could you ascend incredibly fast with no consequences, the air bladder was almost designed for that exact purpose! The idea of a creature doing pretty much exactly what the air bladder did would have been kind of funny and it would sort of force the developers to implement a decompression sickness mechanic. Although thinking about it a little bit more, with this game set so far in the future with phasegates, virtually infinite air supply for submersibles, and massive undersea bases, it's not so crazy to think that such an advanced civilization could possibly invent super efficient countermeasures for decompression sickness. Not to mention with constantly having to swim away from predators while performing complex tasks, especially before having a submersible, it would probably be rather annoying to not be able to get to the surface as fast as you can from any depth.

  There's a mod that brings these scrapped concepts to life in game though only some, but I believe the devs of the mod will update it soon. But there's also a mod out there with a creature that can reach..., Gargantuan proportions
