While they do leave a cloud of sand when they do, giving away their position, the thing will pop up and try to bite you with probably More Teeth than the Osmond Family. These creatures' signature ability is to burrow under the sand of the Grassy Plateaus.

Nowhere close to the Reaper in size, but definitely no pushover. It goes deeper than 1500 meters, its 'caves' are several hundred meters across, are mostly made of lava hardened into bizarre formations and have multiple running rivers of lava. is a place that 'cave system' is an inadequate name for. So deep that both the Cyclops and the PRAWN Suit need depth upgrades just to get there, while the Seamoth can't access it at all. Accessible by several pits and entrances in the game world, many which you need to get to through maze-like tunnels since these pits aren't directly accessible from the surface. If you use something that makes a lot of noise, such as a seamoth or a cyclops, it will hear it and find you much FASTER! If you can hear a reaper's roar, it will slowly start to home in on you. Worse still, this is not a bluff to scare players.In other words, If you can hear it, the Reaper will know you're near. The databank states that the Reaper's roar functions as a form of echolocation similar to sperm whales. Meaning the gigantic Leviathan can sneak up on you very easily. And while the Reaper does have bioluminescence, it is so subtle ◊ that you can barely notice it. Now, their roars fade with distance and is positional, which actually increases the fear factor, because when you hear one roaring up close, it may already be too late.

Before the Oculus update in April 2016, the Reaper's roar, and only its roar, had a special sound effect in which it sounded like it was coming from everywhere. The worst part? It's not even the largest carnivore in the game! Then there's its roar. It can even kill Reefbacks, the second largest nonhostile creature in the game, and literally tear them to pieces. It uses its claw-like appendages to swallow you whole for a One-Hit Kill. Don't think you can escape it with a Seaglide either. The thing can outrun a Seamoth, and a PRAWN Suit, and can even use claw-like appendages ATTACHED TO ITS FACE to severely damage the two. A gigantic eel- shark-THING which resides near the Aurora wreck, and in the Dunes biome. The Reaper Leviathan, providing the page image.
