Subnautica 2 Lifeforms

A bridge page for fauna, leviathans, flora, harvestables, biomod scan routes, and databank entries in Subnautica 2 Early Access.

What's here: lifeforms is the catch-all hub for fauna, plants, hazards, and DNA scan leads. Use it when you're not sure which sub-page has what you want.

Biome context

Live index

Where lifeforms fit by route, depth band, resource pressure, and base-planning risk.

Plan a lifeform survey

Scan value is not the same as combat value

Most lifeforms are more useful as scan targets, food context, route hazards, or biomod leads than as enemies to fight.

Choose a useful target

Choose between a resource plant, a creature Bioscan and a dangerous encounter based on your current supplies and goal.

Leave room for the return trip

Leave inventory space for harvested resources and enough oxygen to get back to safety.

Balance changes across Early Access patches

Unknown Worlds identifies creature aggression, aggro range, flares, Survival Tool behavior, and vehicle/base interactions as tuning targets.

Review the scan reward

After collecting Bioscans, review new Biomod abilities and passive slot progress at the Biolab.

Lifeforms FAQ

Why does this site use both Lifeforms and Creatures?

Creatures is the fauna index. Lifeforms is a broader bridge for fauna, leviathans, flora, biomod routes, and scan entries.
