“An aggressive leviathan with an enormous beak, there is limited knowledge of this alien monstrosity at this time, and many on 4546B hope it stays that way.”

Assessment: Avoid - aggressive and potentially lethal.

About the Chelicerate

The Chelicerate is filed under leviathans in the game's databank. 4 are placed by hand.

The files do not say how it behaves or what it can do to the player, so this page carries only the studio's databank text above. Depths are metres below sea level; coordinates are the game's world metres, x east and z north.

Placed pins are read as placed.
