The Stalkers inside Primary Containment Facility's Aquarium are not hostile to the player, and are thus not a threat. |
A streamlined predator encountered in the kelp forests in wait of prey leaving the safety of the shallows to feed. The stalker likely carved out its evolutionary niche at the sweet spot between speed and size millions of years ago, and may be one of the oldest species on the planet. The stalker appears to be attracted to titanium deposits, which tends to sharpen and put stress on its teeth. As with many predators, it may be possible to temporarily distract hungry stalkers by feeding them. 1. Teeth: The stalker's teeth are unusually hard, and fast-growing. Its elongated snout can deliver huge biting pressure to larger attackers, while also being used to reach small herbivores seeking refuge amongst the rocks. 2. Night-vision: Retinal layering on the eyeball suggests adaptation for night-time hunting. 3. Dorsal Ridges: These ridges can be moved independently to deliver superior maneuverability. 4. Pelvic Fins: Long and powerful, the stalker has evolved to hunt the fastest of prey. Assessment: Stalker teeth may have applications in enameled glass fabrication |
