Research summary
Subnautica 2 has official confirmation for a broad fauna premise, not a complete official creature index. Official Steam and Subnautica copy confirm an all-new alien world, biodiversity that ranges from small creatures to towering Leviathans, scanning and study as a core discovery loop, and Early Access expansion with additional biomes and creatures. The strongest named creature facts are the Collector Leviathan from Unknown Worlds Dev Vlog 3 and the yet-to-be-revealed Deepwing Brooder Leviathan from the official Leviathan Awakens fan art contest. The Reaper Leviathan, Sea Dragon Leviathan, Seamoth, Lost River, and related original-game references currently appear as launch rewards, statues, posters, collaborations, or legacy-franchise references, not confirmed living Subnautica 2 fauna. No official source currently confirms a complete Subnautica 2 creature eggs system, hatchable eggs list, full hostile/passive split, biome assignments for all creatures, or a spoiler-safe final fauna roster. Wiki pages should therefore separate official named fauna, official media clues, community-reported observations, leaks/datamines, and spoiler-heavy in-game discoveries.
- The official roster is incomplete during Early Access.
- Collector Leviathan is the clearest officially named Subnautica 2 Leviathan.
- Deepwing Brooder Leviathan is official by name but intentionally unrevealed.
- Reaper Leviathan and Sea Dragon references currently appear as statues, posters, rewards, or legacy art, not confirmed living Subnautica 2 fauna.
- No official Subnautica 2 creature eggs list is confirmed yet.
- Hostile and passive creature pages should separate confirmed behavior from trailer or community inference.

Unconfirmed or changing details
Use Unknown Worlds, Subnautica.com, official storefronts, official videos, patch notes, and verified in-game scanner/PDA data as source-of-truth. Mark trailer-only identifications, community names, Discord screenshots, Reddit claims, fan wiki details, datamines, leaked build observations, cracked build discoveries, inferred hostility/passivity, imported old-game egg data, and unverified biome/location claims with [uncertain]. Keep leak/datamine content out of spoiler-safe default tables and never present cosmetic legacy references as proof of living fauna.
- [uncertain] The full Subnautica 2 Early Access creature roster is not officially published in the sources checked.
- [uncertain] Community names such as Waterslug, Hammerhead, Halfmoon, Marrowbreach, Nibbler Mango, Wakemaker, Void Leviathan, Great Maw, or similar names may appear in fan wikis, screenshots, Discord comments, files, trailer frames, leaks, or community spreadsheets, but each needs page-level verification before being treated as confirmed.
- [uncertain] Waterslug has substantial community and fan-wiki discussion tied to developer-submitted Time Capsules, but it should be labeled as media-clue/community-confirmed unless directly verified against an official Unknown Worlds page, official video, or archived developer statement.
- [uncertain] Creature egg mechanics in Subnautica 2 are not confirmed by official pages checked; do not import original Subnautica or Below Zero egg lists into Subnautica 2 pages.
- [uncertain] Hostile/passive labels for unnamed trailer creatures should be inferred only from visible behavior and clearly marked as uncertain until the in-game PDA, scanner entry, patch notes, or official guide confirms behavior.
- [uncertain] Biome locations, depth ranges, HP, damage, egg size, incubation time, respawn behavior, and scan unlocks for Subnautica 2 creatures are not confirmed by official pages checked.
