Out in the wild, this proliferation should mean that the genes for male-free reproduction should quickly dominate populations. It won’t be long before the asexual population is far bigger than the sexual one. So only half of the sexual population can produce eggs, while every individual in the asexual one can. Sexual species typically produce a roughly even ratio of sons and daughters. Let’s say you’ve got a sexual pair of male and female shrimp in one tank, and two asexual females in the other. You can take that picture of sea monkeys and wipe Dad out.įrom an evolutionary perspective, this father-free way of life has a lot going for it. Their eggs can develop into healthy embryos–and, eventually, adults–without the need of sperm. And in a lot of populations, the females have no need for males. Sea monkeys don’t live in families, for one thing. The real life of sea monkeys (brine shrimp, or Artemia) is a pretty far cry from Ozzie and Harriet. Spoiler alert: The following section contains story related material.Please be respectful of copyright. An example of this is finding a Stalker egg in the Jellyshroom Cave.Įggs can be used as fuel for the Bioreactor, though they provide far less energy than a hatched creature. They are destroyed by a Prawn Suit with a punch, or using a Propulsion or Repulsion Cannon on it, meaning they cannot be picked up with a Prawn Suit or moved around with tools, only by hand.Įggs can be found in their species' biomes, but gravity can cause an egg to roll or fall into another biome or cave. Crashfish explosions can destroy their own eggs and habitat if they are too close.
Hits with a knife will slice open the egg, resulting in no creature being spawned. The exceptions are the Ampeel, as its electric shocks still apply damage, and the Crabsquid.Įggs can be destroyed. Most normally aggressive creatures will not attack the player if hatched in the Alien Containment, allowing the player to scan it even after it is released in the wild. They can die inside of the aquarium, however, if the aquarium's population limit is surpassed.īaby creatures can be picked up and placed outside in the water, where they will instantly become fully grown. The hatched creature will slowly grow until it is moderately-sized or can fit within the confines of the Alien Containment. After one to three in-game days, the egg will hatch into a smaller version of its respective species. After placing an egg inside an Alien Containment, it will stay where it was placed. After learning this information this way in-game, or from the table below, similar eggs can be identified by the biome it comes from, its appearance, and size.Īlmost all eggs can be placed inside an Alien Containment. The PDA gives the player this information instantly no matter where they are, without needing to be present to observe which creature came from which egg. Until they hatch, an egg is labeled as an unknown creature egg, changing to match the name of the creature the egg contained if it hatches inside an Alien Containment. They are the unhatched versions of their respective Fauna. Eggs are items found in Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero.
