## Chronology

### Succeeded By

Bones Update

The **Dangerous Creatures Update** was a major update, released on Thursday, September 22nd 2016.

The **Dangerous Creatures Update** was released on XBOX on Thursday, October 6th 2016.

It introduced the largest aggressive creature, the Sea Dragon Leviathan.

## Additions

The first zone of the Lost River was added, the Tree Cove. The Tree Cove is located in the middle of the Lost River, and houses the rarest and one of a kind flora, the Giant Cove Tree. Many blue brine lakes are found around the Cove, and the floors are dotted with Deep Shrooms, and three Thermal Vents are located in the Cove's mid-section.

Another new creature, Ghostrays, are found exclusively in the Cove, until the later Bones Update. These are passive creatures that make mellow, loud draining noises, and can be heard from far distances. They also have a sub-species, the Crimson Ray, which is found exclusively in the Lava Zones, but are instead opaque, rather than transparent, like the Ghostrays.

The Sea Dragon Leviathan is a colossal creature, which was the main addition of this update. It is the largest aggressive creature in *Subnautica*, and is also found exclusively in the Lava Zones, although only about 5 exist naturally.

The Warper is another main implementation in this update, and its story would be properly released in the forthcoming Precursor Update and Infected Update. These bio-mechanical creatures are used for quarantine purposes on the planet, and protect Precursor Bases. Their aggression levels differ depending on infection levels.

Crabsquids also got a handy addition, an EMP blast. This blast disables any machinery, vehicles, or power supplies in the area for a few seconds. Although it is handy for them, it is not so handy for players.

The Final Degasi Base was implemented in the Deep Grand Reef, and is where the final story of the Degasi takes place. This is their largest base, with two floors, a large aquarium, and many beds. Alcohol bottles and other minor props can be seen scattered around the base. It is later revealed that here, the survivors of the Degasi would meet their fates, while Bart would die of unknown causes in the Jelly Shroom Caves Abandoned Base. The Orange Precursor Key is found on a desk on the upper floor.

A new 3D Logo on the Main Menu was added, finally finishing the Main Menu, and completed the additions in the past Oculus Update and (Micro) Update 67.

Kyanite is a new drillable resource, which can only be drilled with the PRAWN Suit, and is only found in the Lava Zones, which is used in the crafting of the PRAWN Suit Jump Jet Upgrade and the Thermal Upgrade.

The Reinforced Diving Suit is a new diving suit, which is used for protection from heat in the Lava Zones, as now magma and lava inflict damage, along with any other damage inflicting entity in the game.

## Updates
