Subnautica 2 Creature Enamel

Subnautica 2 — current release build

Overview

A hard biological material harvested from tooth clusters found near Needler Mango plants. Creature Enamel is the key ingredient for Enamelled Glass, which is required to craft the Bioscanner — the tool that unlocks all non-default Biomods in the DNA Modification system. Use the Sonic Resonator on the tooth cluster base to harvest it.

Where to Find Creature Enamel

Needler Mango Territory

Best Spot

Tooth clusters grow near Needler Mango plants across multiple biomes. Use the Sonic Resonator on the base of the tooth cluster to harvest Creature Enamel — scanning the teeth directly does not work. Each cluster yields 1–2 enamel pieces.

Used In

ItemQtyStation / Notes
Enamelled Glass×11× Creature Enamel + 1× Glass → Enamelled Glass. Used in Bioscanner (2×) and Feedback Resonator (2×).

⚠ Important Notes

  • Use the Sonic Resonator on the CLUSTER BASE — not the individual teeth. Scanning teeth gives scan data, not enamel.
  • You need 2× Enamelled Glass for the Bioscanner, meaning 2× Creature Enamel + 2× Glass minimum.
  • Needler Mango is also the creature scan that unlocks the Dermal Garden Biomod.

Tips

  • Combine the Needler Mango area trip: harvest Creature Enamel AND scan the Needler Mango for the Dermal Garden Biomod in one visit.
  • Bring the Sonic Resonator — you cannot collect Creature Enamel without it.
  • Collect 4× Creature Enamel per trip: 2 for the Bioscanner Enamelled Glass and 2 for the Feedback Resonator.
Recipes, quantities, and locations may change with updates. Data reflects the current May 2026 release build.
