Not much is currently known about its temperament or behaviors.+The **Descender** is an unimplemented [Lifeform](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn2/Lifeform) expected to be added to the [Scorpius](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn2/Scorpius) region as part of the [EA2 Update](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn2/Planned_Features). Not much is currently known about its temperament or behaviors.   ## Appearance  -The Descender bears a resemblance to the Veps, such as the broad plating that can be drawn closer into the body and end in singular, long claws, similar to those of the Vep Sensor. These plates are directly connected to the central body of the Descender, however, as opposed to being connected by elongate forelimbs.+The Descender bears a resemblance to the [Veps](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn2/Veps), such as the broad plating that can be drawn closer into the body and end in singular, long claws, similar to those of the [Vep Sensor](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn2/Vep_Sensor). These plates are directly connected to the central body of the Descender, however, as opposed to being connected by elongate forelimbs.   The central body of the Descender is covered in long, tendril-like appendages that follow behind it as it moves, and which currently serve an unknown purpose.   ## Behavior  -Information regarding the behavior of the Descender is currently unavailable.+While idle, the Descender swims around slowly and aimlessly. When a [Collector Leviathan](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn2/Collector_Leviathan) is in its vicinity, the Descender turns red and flees quickly away from the leviathan. Once it is a safe distance away, the Descender turns back to green.   ## Gallery   ### In Game  -![Descenders as they appear in the 'Buddy System' Update Vlog.](Descender In Buddy System.png)-![Descender as seen in the game.](descender ingame.jpg)+![Descenders as they appear in the 'Buddy System' Update Vlog.](Descender_In_Buddy_System.png)+*Descenders as they appear in the 'Buddy System' Update Vlog.*  +![Descender as seen in the game.](descender_ingame.jpg)+*Descender as seen in the game.*+ +![A Descender as it flees a nearby Collector Leviathan](Descender_Fleeing.png)+*A Descender as it flees a nearby [Collector Leviathan](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn2/Collector_Leviathan)*+  ### Development  -![Descenders visible in Concept Art of the Scorpius region](Scorpius Concept Art.jpg)-![An in-engine photo of the Descender.](Descender front dev photo.png)+![Descenders visible in Concept Art of the Scorpius region](Scorpius_Concept_Art.jpg)+*Descenders visible in [Concept Art](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn2/Concept_Art) of the [Scorpius](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn2/Scorpius) region*  +![An in-engine photo of the Descender.](Descender_front_dev_photo.png)+*An in-engine photo of the Descender.*+  ## Trivia  -* The Descender was first publicly shown in Subnautica 2 | Update Vlog: Early Access 1.2 - Buddy System, during which a group of them could be seen fleeing from a Collector Leviathan.+* The Descender was first publicly shown in [Subnautica 2 | Update Vlog: Early Access 1.2 - Buddy System](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ4fF6Xrsc8), during which a group of them could be seen fleeing from a [Collector Leviathan](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn2/Collector_Leviathan).
