Hard facts

Because this guide is made with information gathered by my own, it won't be complete. If you need more complete information you should use the Subnautica Below Zero Wikia[subnautica-belowzero.fandom.com].

To update the guide I need to make progress with the research of the flora and fauna of Planet 4546B, this will take some time.

If some of the information is not correct, please leave a comment. This helps me to provide an accurate guide to all of you.

FAUNA

The following sections shows the fauna I've examined while being stationed on Planet 4546B.
Stay away from the Leviathans!

Arctic Peeper

The Arctic Peeper belongs to the well-known Peeper family of Planet 4546B. Just like its little brother the Arctic Peeper is quite nutritious, so bottle-up for a nice meal. Due to its lighter color, it can be hard to spot in the arctic water, but the three luminescent fins might help you to catch it at night.

Habitat
Shallow Twisty Bridges, Twisty Bridges, Arctic Kelp Forest, Sparse Arctic, Glacial Connection & Thermal Spires

Characteristics
One large eye on each side, three blue luminescent fins

Behavior
They can be challenging to catch, at least for me. It's like they got a booster pack in their tail fin. Using that boost they jump out of the water, just like the dolphins back home.

Bladderfish

One might think on a planet with this much water, it won't be easy to dehydrate. Well, the Bladderfish is the only fish you can use to get drinkable water. So, every time I see one I'll catch it, because it seems a human needs quite some water at a daily basis.
I can breath it; I can drink it; I can eat it. What more do I need?

Habitat
Shallow Twisty Bridges, Twisty Bridges, Thermal Spires & Lilypad Islands

Characteristics
Leviathan class, large wing-like fins, luminescent spots

Behavior
It swims like flying through the water with its wing-like fins. To eat, it opens its mouth and catches everything in front of it, like with a net. Sometimes they jump out of the water.

Hoopfish

The Hoopfish is some special kind of fish, as it does not use its fins to swim. It pulls itself through the water by changing the density in front of it with its hoop.
Maybe I can use the same technique to make my Sea Truck more efficient?

Habitat
Shallow Twisty Bridges, Twisty Bridges, Arctic Kelp Caves, Tree Spires & Lilypad Islands

Characteristics
Dark blue color, green luminescent hoop

Behavior
The Hoopfish often form small schools. Others venture out as a lone survivor, to be caught by some predator, as myself. They swim quite slow and are easy to catch.

Ice Worm

WARNING: Leviathan class predator!
The Ice Worm is a land-based Leviathan and lives under the ice. As it tunnels through the ice it creates holes on the surface. To burrow fast enough, its extremly hot horn melts all ice in front of it away, what results in steam that sometimes escapes through holes.
I've heard it can leap towards its prey... Habitat
Arctic Spires

Characteristics
Leviathan class, large luminescent horn, black scales on back, white scaly belly

Behavior
The Ice Worm burrows under the ice in the Arctic Spires. When a creature comes close to a hole in the ice, the Ice Worm will ambush its prey.

Characteristics
Lots of small leaf-like fins, luminescent spots, 4 orange eyes, 2 arms

Behavior
It swims slowly and seems vulnerable to predators, like Brute Sharks. Once a large creature comes too close, it puts up the luminescent fins and hypnotizes the 'attacker', to disorient it for a while. It won't hurt you, but feels funny.

Noot Fish

The Noot Fish is a small, colorful fish with a beak?! Apparently it's no beak but a extendable lip to swallow smaller fish.
I hope this is the largest variety...

Habitat
Lilypad Islands

Characteristics
Colorful, mouth looks like a beak

Titan Holefish

This creature spreads such a calmness, while it sails through the arctic regions of 4546B. It does not care about trivial things like survival and having fun. As long as you can sails through the seas without fear, life is good, right?

Habitat
Sparse Arctic

Characteristics
Big ring, light blue color, green face, oxygen filled inner ring

Behavior
It glides slowly through the water, without the fear for predators, as the Symbiotes protect it. Its sole purpose is filtering oxygen from the surrounding water and storing it in its inner ring. Which is quite useful for me as I can replenish my oxygen reserves without swimming all the way to the surface.
