Sea Dragon Leviathan

The Sea Dragon Leviathan is a colossal leviathan class fauna species. It is the largest aggressive creature of Subnautica. There are a total of three Sea Dragon Leviathans on the map: two in the Inactive Lava Zone and one in the Lava Lakes.https://imgur.com/a/HUWayz6 
==Appearance==
The Sea Dragon Leviathan's body mostly resembles the Sea Emperor Leviathan, albeit much smaller and slimmer in design. The body is mostly dark green in color, along with purple accents on its webbed limbs and head. It has protective plates on the underside of its body that start at the neck and run down to where the tentacles begin. Many of its body parts are adorned or spotted with orange bioluminescent glows, and many small spines line its lower jaw and arms.
The head of the Sea Dragon is stout and reptilian, possessing two pairs of glowing orange eyes with white pupils, a crack-like pattern spreads from the pupils to the rest of the eye. The mouth contains a pink tongue and thirty-two large teeth, visible even when the mouth is closed. The tip of the snout features two short, green protrusions with orange glowing tips. It also has a second set of larger fin-like protrusions beneath its lower jaw. Along the side of its body runs two long trails of small hollows that emit orange bioluminescent glows. It has two long forearms ending with webbed, four digited hands; each digit ends with a claw that is approximately equal in size to the player's entire body. A large sail sits on the creature's back, just below the shoulders. Its rear-side consists of seven tentacles, also lined with orange spots and ending with small tentacular clubs, the largest tentacle being surrounded by the six smaller ones.
==Behavior==
The Sea Dragon Leviathan uses its arms and tentacles to swim in the water at great speed; according to the "Damaged Anchor Cable" entry from the Disease Research Facility, it is capable of exerting over 300 tons (600,000 pounds) of force by ramming. Just being in close proximity to the Sea Dragon Leviathan will cause the player or Prawn Suit to be jostled due to the water it displaces. It will attack the player with its arms if they are on either side of its front body by swatting them away and dealing 40 damage to the player. If the Sea Dragon Leviathan attacks the player with its mouth, it will swallow the player, killing them instantly even if the player has the Reinforced Dive Suit equipped. Occasionally, the Sea Dragon Leviathan will open its mouth wide and fire a molten rock at its target as a projectile attack. The Sea Dragon Leviathan is also capable of firing a barrage of small "fireballs" covering a wide area.
The Sea Dragon Leviathan will attack the Cyclops by slamming it with its arms with considerable force, often leaving the Cyclops upside down or on its side. The Sea Dragon Leviathan can deal massive damage to a Prawn Suit very quickly; the swat attack does 11% damage to the suit, the Sea Dragon Leviathan also has the ability to grab the vehicle in its mouth and deal 10-20% damage before releasing it; it often swats immediately after. A sustained barrage of small fireballs, known as the Fire Breath attack, can deal lots of damage in a short time to the Prawn, it will often swat the vehicle soon after and do this again if you are still in the vicinity.
When the Sea Dragon Leviathan is exposed to damage, it will flinch and commonly, if the player is close, it will swat them away dealing large amounts of damage to the Player if they are outside a Vehicle. The Sea Dragon Leviathan will get stuck inside the walls of the map, but still be able to attack the player. Similar to the Lava Lizard, the Sea Dragon is completely resistant to the Thermoblade.

==Data Bank Entry==
A colossal leviathan with reptilian features, seen stalking the very heart of the volcanic crater which underpins life in this area. The scanned specimen measured 112m in length.
1. Heat-Proof Tissue:
Tissue analysis reveals this specimen consists of 1/3 inanimate materials, focused around the chest area. Consumption and retention of mineral substances may explain the lifeform's ability to withstand extremes of temperature. It even appears to be able to consume molten materials and expel them at its adversaries.
2. Forearms:
Evolutionarily distinct forearms are used for both propulsion and offensive purposes. Finding suggests evolutionary divergence from other species on the planet tens of millions of years ago. The sea dragon is likely one of the oldest species on the planet.
3. Behavior:
As the largest carnivorous species encountered on 4546B, almost everything is potential prey. With few substantial targets in the volcanic cave systems the sea dragon likely ventures out into cooler waters to hunt other, smaller leviathans, cornering them and forcing them deeper, where they are ultimately boiled alive.
The sea dragons' size and the restrictions of the cave systems they inhabit suggest their population numbers are extremely low, perhaps in the single digits. While it is not unusual for larger predators to sustain lower populations, it is possible the sea dragon's food sources have diminished over time. This species may be nearing extinction.
Assessment: Extreme threat - Avoid in all circumstances

==Trivia== 
*The sounds of the Sea Dragon Leviathan were created by combining real sounds from a bull, an elephant, and a tiger.
*The Sea Dragon Leviathan was originally larger than it is currently,https://i.imgur.com/jjsbu4q.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/TgZJm7a.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/9owCNrK.png the downsizing being due to a bug that was ignored for several months. The developers ultimately decided to leave it at its incorrect scale since no one remembered its original size, and also because it already had problems navigating terrain.https://i.imgur.com/tRwMmGG.pnghttps://imgur.com/a/yTnmx However, it currently seems to line up with the 112 m statistic.https://i.imgur.com/w0fdsr9.jpg
*The Sea Dragon Leviathan once had a unique attack animation for the Seamoth where it would be grasped in its forelimbs then placed into the mouth, this animation was later removed as the Seamoth is incapable of reaching the depths that the Sea Dragon Leviathan inhabits.
*The Sea Dragon Leviathan's size may be caused by deep sea gigantism, a phenomenon where deep-sea dwelling animals tend to be significantly larger than creatures that live in shallower waters. 
** This would also explain the Sea Dragon's eating habits; a lack of food in deeper waters is a theorized explanation for deep sea gigantism, as Kleiber's Law states that metabolic efficiency scales with size, giving larger creatures an advantage in deep-sea conditions where food is scarce. Some creatures thought to have undergone deep sea gigantism can go up to 5 years without eating, making it possible that Sea Dragons only come up to hunt Reapers every few years.
