Some creatures on the planet have four eyes, though, such as the biter and blighter, so it's possible the skeleton may share some homage with them. This feature is not shared by any living creatures on the planet. Unusually, this creature appears to possess six eye sockets. The upper jaw lacks teeth in the middle, instead having a thin flat surface, possibly an adaptation to slicing for a diet comprised mostly by soft-bodied organisms. There are ten teeth in the lower jaw and eight in the upper jaw. The teeth of the creature are very large, the largest being over two metres in height. It is possible that when alive, the creature's shell was covered by protective scutes in order to protect the bone, like the shell of a tortoise or turtle. As opposed to the other armored creatures which possess a more armadillo-like set of armor, being derived from hard plates on the skin, not joined with the skeleton. Inactive Lava Zone: Primary Containment Facility: Inside the Lava Castle Alien Base. Lost River: Fossil Data: Inside Lava Castle Alien Base. Lost River: Damage Report: Inside the Lost River Alien Base. This makes the Ancient Skeleton's shell more similar in design to that of a tortoise or turtle, where the shell is formed by the spine and ribs. The terminal is found within the Lost River Alien Base in the room blocked by the forcefield. The skeletal features of the Ancient Skeleton support a distinct lineage, as unlike Research Specimen Theta and and its relatives which have dermal armor that is visibly separate from its skeleton, the Ancient Skeleton's armor appears to be derived from solid bone extensions of the spine and ribs themselves, the outline of these bones being visible from within the skeleton. It is unclear what method of locomotion the creature used in life, though the extremely thick skeleton does not imply it was a capable swimmer.ĭespite being armored this creature appears to have descended from a different group of animals than the living armored creatures, these being the Research Specimen Theta, Boneshark, Sand Shark and Rockgrub which appear to have evolved armor independently of the ancient skeleton. I just started playing subnautica and I got into the last river and Im stuck I found the alien base and I dont know what to do next so I can finish the story. Assuming they did not simply serve to lighten the overall weight of the skeleton, they could potentially have served as openings for flippers, limbs or limb-like structures to protrude from, though the openings do not appear to be ball-and-socket joints. There are many openings running down the sides of this creature's skeleton, the purpose of which is unknown. It is near impossible to imagine what this creature looked like in life, as it is unknown how much of the skeleton is visible to us, and even how the creature moved.
