I'm in love with Subnautica. I always have been! I've watchde it grow into this beautiful piece of ART made by the fantastic developers of Unknown Worlds. For a while, this idea has been bouncing around in my skull, ever since the Sea Dragon Leviathan was even HINTED at.
You see this concept art?:

It's a deviantart picture of the Sea Dragon. Or at least, an actual dragon that could be implemented into the game (I do't know wether it belongs to a subnautica forum user or just a regular person). I think this would be an AMAZING creature to add into the game. They could be smaller then the reaper maybe, but they could be fast and could leap out of the water because of the powerful flippers. Perhaps they could come in small 'packs' or 'pods,' like the Sea Treaders. They could play a major role in the ecosystem. I think they would be best put somewhere deep, like the Red Grass Plateau, where they could feast on small fish, etc.
The Dragon Leviathan, you know, the big HUGE, epic BOSS of a creature the devs have tirelessly worked on? You'd expect a big huge thing, which it is, and because it's so intelligent and so large, it must have come from something small. No race or species is born big. Same goes for the Emperor. I was thinking, well, if the Sea Dragon is so large, surely it must have a cousin? Perhaps, some of it's ancestors became the smaller species of dragon, while the minority became the giant Sea Dragon.
I have a personal name for this species (you don't have to even CONSIDER naming it this by the way!):
Plesio Drakes
The reason WHY I named this little imaginary creature of mine this is because if the devs were to make another 'large' or 'medium sized' creature, they'd have to make some creatures look a SMALL bit like dinosaurs. It's unavoidable to make aliens. Heck I'm always looking at dinosaurs for my creatures, so I'm just going to assume the devs have at least glanced at dinosaur or historical images, because on my time as a player, I've looked at a stalker and I've said, 'hey, that looks like (can't remember the name) the dinosaur shark that had the square dorsel fin!' And I've looked at a reefback and said, 'now THATS what a dinosaur would look like underwater.'
A plesiosaur. You know them, right? Well, in MY opinion, they resemble the art picture. The biology, the design, everything about it screams, 'plesiosaur' to me. So devs, my conclusion is, if you want a cool alien, make a subspecies! Plus, it'd be interesting to have subspecies and things like that, it makes the ecosystem of subnautica much more complex. How? It'd take me all day to explain HOW it'd make it more interesting but, long story short, who DOESN'T want to be a scientest and figure out what family of creatures goes where? I know I do.
