Hammerhead

The Hammerhead is a new creature featured in Subnautica 2, one of the many alien fauna species inhabiting the oceans of Planet Zezura. The creature was first seen in preview screenshots and promotional materials released by Unknown Worlds Entertainment.

Appearance

The Hammerhead takes its name from its most distinctive physical feature: a broad, hammer-shaped head structure. This design draws an obvious parallel to the real-world hammerhead shark, though the creature's overall body plan and proportions are distinctly alien in nature, fitting the unique biology of Zezura's ecosystem.

The creature's full size, coloration, and anatomical details have been glimpsed in screenshots but not officially described in developer commentary.

Habitat and behavior

The specific biomes where the Hammerhead can be found, its behavioral patterns, and whether it is passive, defensive, or aggressive have not yet been confirmed. As one of the new species on Zezura, it is part of the alien ecosystem that players will encounter while exploring the planet's various underwater environments.

Gameplay interactions

It is not yet known how the Hammerhead interacts with the player in gameplay terms. Like other creatures in the Subnautica series, it is likely scannable with the Scanner tool and may be a valid target for the Biosampler, which would allow players to extract genetic material for the DNA adaptation system.

Previous Subnautica games featured a wide range of creature interactions, from completely passive fish to highly territorial predators and leviathan-class organisms. The Hammerhead's place in this spectrum remains to be revealed.

Note: Detailed behavior, biome assignments, and gameplay mechanics for the Hammerhead have not yet been officially disclosed. This article will be expanded as more information becomes available.
