Description

If anybody would actually like to give this the chance of getting this species in the game click this sentence to check out the post I made in the Subnautica suggestion forum.


It’s finally finished! The concept for my Subnautica species is done, and I even came up with a name! (yeah it’s not super creative but Treader sounds nice) I’m also really proud of the colors, considering how bad I am at choosing them, it turned out really great.

Also the template I used is one that was made for the Shuttlebug’s , and if you all want I made a blank one . (the font is Kalinga Regular)

More info below:

A massive herbivorous land animal whose stature can range from 8 to 10 meters in height. Completely unperturbed by other lifeforms, it treads slowly across the island jungle and grazes from the tops of the glowing trees. It could possibly be what gives it its’ bio luminescence.

Legs work like stilts, with very little muscle but incredibly strong bone. Is completely incapable of swimming and when fallen it finds incredibly difficulty getting up.

  • Two pairs of nostrils, the larger used to expel salt, sand, and other impurities from the ocean water they drink.
  • Fins and escas seem completely vestigial, only use being illumination at night.
  • The juveniles look ride-able, but aren’t privy to taking commands.
  • Predators: None

    Assessment: Possibly edible, docile.

    How?! I had a subnautica species I thought was cool which was a Sea Mimic but the design is so unoriginal, I’m currently trying to think of a new design for it

    The best advice I can give is just compile lots of references around a single theme. For this one it was 'aquatic giraffe antelope' and then I worked out from there.

    I really want some terrestrial fauna in Subnautica,it would just add to the game so much. 

    This is really beautifully designed by the way, so elegant and entirely believable! I can totally see it roaming the islands' jungles.

    Thanks! The babies come up to about a third up an adult's leg, though, unlike horses, the babies take their time to actually get up, since the island currently has no predators.

    Ah! Thank you for responding. That's a very interesting species. Before I read the description, the bioluminescence really caught my attention.

    No problem, I try to respond to as many comments as I can when I can.

    And I'm glad you like it, I've always had a personal love for bioluminescence to be honest. I probably put it into too many species to be honest. ^^

    MidnightDash2137 In reply to Umbreeunix [2017-01-29 01:58:21 +0000 UTC]

    It's something I try to do too.

    I never seem to add any bioluminescence to any of my creatures, only one so far and that was a merperson. Do you have any tips for putting it in creatures? I tend to keep the bioluminescence to sea creatures but that's just me, but it always seems to be in lines down the side. I find it difficult to do it like in the Treader.

    Umbreeunix In reply to MidnightDash2137 [2017-01-29 03:58:46 +0000 UTC]

    Well for me I just kind of go crazy with it. A lot of my creatures have bioluminescence for just aesthetically pleasing reasons. Though recently I've been thinking a lot about the biology and evolution and how my species get those glow'y bits.

    So my suggestion is to try and think of how your creature may have ended up with bioluminescence first. (maybe to stave off predators, lure in prey, look poisonous, etc.) Then just go crazy with it! It's good to look up references for sure, either of actual animals with bioluminescent traits, or fantasy creatures made by other artists. Looking up body patterns too on animals helps as well. Most of all though, just have fun with it. Go wild, try out new things and designs, and if it looks good you know you did something right. And if it doesn't, then you know not to do it again. It's a lot of trial and error really when you get down to it.

    I created this concept long before the sea treader was announced, if it's accepted the name probably will get changed but for now I'm leaving it as is.

    Um... this guy is meant to be on land, it's why I wrote "... it treads slowly across the island jungle..." I always thought the islands were really barren so I thought adding a creature to them would make it a little more lively.

    oh.

    i thought the underwater islands,since its coloring  really fits as a camouflage.

    But i really like this,and the ideas behind it.

    I've stated this before but I came up with this concept before Sea Treader's were even announced, hence the similar name and... concept? I guess.
