Subnautica's Crazy Cut Creatures

Published 2023-12-14
Subnautica has its fair share of strange alien creatures that want to take a chunk out you, but there could have been so many more if some of these cut creatures made it into the full release. Today we look at some of the candidates that didn't quite make it into the final game!

I'm so glad you're making a video on the Ice Dragon. Even to this day, it makes me upset knowing such a cool creature got cut. A cold empty biome with a dragon lurking in it is just what Below Zero needed and where Subnautica 1 thrived. I'm dying to know why they removed especially after having a full model. It seems like something they put a lot of work into. It must've been hard letting it go before the full game released.

My heart aches for the sandworm :) It walked so the ice worm could run....or breach.
-
Knowing how strong a Bobbit worm is, it would be absolutely terrifying to see how strong the sand spear would be
-
I was actually bummed out when the crested reaper didn't make it into the game, I think it would have fit right in. We already have a giant version of one of the smallest creatures in the game, it would have been a cool parallel to see a miniature version of one of the largest creatures in the game
-
I would have loved to see the Ice Dragon in Below Zero. Just such an amazing design! Also yes cute creatures like the Shadow Leviathan :). He is friend shaped haha!
-
Ice Dragon should have been put in the East and West Arctic biomes. Those areas felt too barren to me, so turning them into Below Zero's equivalent of the Dunes would have been great.
-
Out of all these creatures I wish made it in was the ice dragon as it would be terrifying and awe inspiring to see! I'm also really glad that the rotnest was removed as I have trypophobia. Great vid as always and thanks for covering these would be creatures!

Hello, Below Zero beta tester here! Back when it was in development, polls were held to determine what creatures would make it into the game. The piece of concept art most people use with the ice dragon is no the art they went with when asking the community for feedback. The actual art used didn’t fit subnautica’s style and had a far more fantasy look. Thus, the community voted to not put it in the game. I hope this trivia helps!
-
To me, the craziest cut creature is without a doubt the Single Cell Landscape. If you know, you know…
-
It’s so sad to see that the Ice Dragon didn’t make it into the game. It seemed like it would’ve been on par with the Reaper in terms of fear. My one issue with Below Zero was that the Leviathans weren’t really all that scary. Yea you’d get the occasional scare but they really don’t strike as much fear in my opinion. I feel like the ice dragon could’ve changed that.

0:09 this is why you should put cuddlefish and penglings into bioreactors-
-
Going over cut contents is always so interesting ! Even more with universe as interesting and unique as Subnautica
-
i really like the gardener eel, ice breaker, and the Thalassacean. I generally feel like bz needs some more „special“ creatures. (i really like bz anyways)
-
The cut creatures are so cool its a shame they didnt make it into the final game
-
The Kitewing Skyray would have been perfect for the Tundra Void north of the Arctic Spires. The flat, barren landscape seems like an ideal environment to leave you exposed for some massive airborne creature to swoop in and kill you. It would also be hilarious because you would not expect skyrays–which are completely harmless–to have such dangerous larger cousins.
-
4:36 that version of the sea monkey can keep that power cell or anything it takes from me its to adorable to take what ever it took
-
You didn't mention how the sea monkeys early design was reworked into the trivalve, similar to what happened with the crashfish and cuddle fish in the first game
-
I honestly care more about the loss of the deep artic and methane ice caves than the ice dragon. Such a cool biome that would have been great to make belowzero feel like it has more options. I have tried being there and the place even artifically makes it much darker than it should be
-
Below zero had so much potential, some of these early concepts would make the game way different
-
What i really like is that the cut creatures weren't completely scrapped the early sea monkey became triops, the sand spear became the tentacle things or the ice worm whichever one works,the gardener eel became vent garden, etc
