Bullethead

The Bullethead is a small, aggressive predator in Subnautica 2 that attacks by ramming. Its databank entry records the generated name Panopliateuthis velos, the armored squid dart, and describes a swarm predator that hits tail-first, hard enough to punch into titanium. Scanning one unlocks the Camouflage passive biomod.

Class | Squid-like predator |

The Bullethead is bright red with a narrow, bullet-shaped body that tapers to a point at one end and a flap-covered beak at the other. Its yellow eyes are often the first thing a diver sees in a dark cave.
At rest, Bulletheads attach to rock formations, cave walls, and ceilings. When a diver approaches, they open their eyes, detach, circle rapidly, and then barrel in at high speed for a small amount of damage. They often sleep on cliffsides; shining a handheld light on a sleeping Bullethead wakes it instantly and provokes an attack, though the lights of the Tadpole do not.
Throw a Distraction Flare near wall-mounted Bulletheads to bait their attention and buy time to pass through a cave.
A shot from the Sonic Resonator or Feedback Resonator repels a Bullethead that has already launched its attack run.
The Camouflage biomod its scan unlocks turns a motionless diver invisible, which is one of the better escape tools against the game's larger predators.
