Subnautica 2 Cerathecan
Crustacean · Multiple Biomes · Subnautica 2 current build
Overview
A spiny crustacean with a serrated carapace and elongated spear-like forelimb appendages used for feeding and territory defence. The Cerathecan is a slow-moving sessile feeder that does not actively hunt Pioneers but reacts with a rapid spear strike when its feeding territory is entered. It does not pursue past its territory boundary.
Subnautica 2 Cerathecan — Behavior
Slow forager. Becomes defensive and delivers a linear spear strike when a Pioneer enters its immediate territory. The strike is a single linear movement — moving laterally avoids it entirely. Retreats after the threat leaves rather than pursuing.
