Shows no immunity to infection - death commonly occurs within 4 days. This entry seems to reference the common peeper. A number of entries have been translated. Judging by the size and placement of those holes, the antenna were most likely thinner and longer.Ī catalog of information on the organisms previously contained within the alien facility. It also has two small holes above its primary eyes, indicating that it may have had two antenna on its head like those found on its more agile relatives. Whilst Theta's lineage appears to have split early in the development of the double eye sockets, retaining a primitive second pair of eyes.Ī solid external shell, as well as an internal skeleton, is commonplace amongst this group, with the Sand Shark, Boneshark, Theta, and presumably the Rockgrub all exhibiting this adaptation, showing a preference for defensive capability over maneuverability in all species aside from the Biter and Blighter, which appear to have lost the external shell over time in favor of greater agility. It can also be noted that the Boneshark lacks double eye sockets as well as any indication of their prior existence, meaning that the Boneshark must have diverged sooner than the others. The secondary eyes appear considerably smaller and less developed than those found on the Sand Shark and Biter, which are indistinguishable from the front set of eyes in size and appearance. It is possible that these forearms were a large pair of flippers, like those of a sea turtle, which helped propel itself through the water.

Although, the fact that they face backward rather than forwards would have made them impossible to use as graspers like the Sea Dragon Leviathan. The arms appear similar to a whale fin in shape and size, though since the PDA states they were forearms it is likely they were indeed arms with webbed hands on the end rather than fins.

It also has five-digit hands rather than the Sea Dragon's four-digit hands. The structure of the arms also differs greatly between them whilst the Sea Dragon's - and presumably the Sea Emperor's - arms follow a more familiar structure with a ball and socket joint at the elbow, one upper bone the humerus, and two lower bones the radius and ulna, Theta's arms are unique, with the humerus' equivalent made from two fused bones of equal size running parallel to each other, and rather than the ball and socket joint seen in the elbow of the Sea Dragon, it has a gliding joint composed of carpal bones. Spoiler alert: The following section contains story related material.Īn Alien Arch Cache is found in the Bulb Zone, linking to the Primary Containment Facility.Īn entrance to the Lost River is found on the Bulb Zone's border with the Mountains.The forearms are unique amongst its relatives and seem to have evolved independently as there is very little chance of relation to the Sea Emperor and Sea Dragon group due to major skeletal differences. The only other ones are found in the two wrecks. Two large Wrecks are located within the Bulb Zone, containing several fragments.Ī single Supply Crate is found along the Crash Zone border.

According to the PDA Dialogue, there are strange electrical signatures in the Bulb Zone, which likely originate from Ampeels. This, together with the Bulb Zone Caves, suggests a small amount of volcanic activity. Several Lava Geysers can be found in this biome. Rubies can occasionally be found in the caves. One of the caves links to the Mushroom Forest Caves. These caves are accessible via any of the three entrances located within the biome. There is a cave system located below the Bulb Zone, known as the Bulb Zone Caves. If the player has not repaired the Aurora's drive core, a Radiation Suit is strongly advised to explore the southern region. Pods of Reefback Leviathans can be found above the Bulb Zone.ĭue to its proximity to the Crash Zone, the southern half of the Bulb Zone is subject to Radiation. Notable predators, such as Bonesharks and Ampeels, can be found scattered throughout the Bulb Zone. The Bulb Zone is home to certain dangerous fauna. It is also abundant with small brown algae, and a large variety of plants with blueish-purple hues, the most notable of which being the Bulb Bush. The Bulb Zone is characterized by small crevices and overhangs in a sandy dune-like area.
