@@DiveInGamingChannel I don't think it's their lifespan that they die from, I'm pretty sure its hunger since they get way too big to the point that nothing can satisfy them Another reason why I think that is because of how the planet in subnuatica is. A lot of the life there has huge life spans
@@mastershadow3894 in the real world there are more factors that prevent a limitless grow, other than hunger. For example, at a certain size, you're simply too heavy for moving around, your muscles, your skeleton, simply can't hold you any more. Then there is the case of lobsters, which never stop growing too. When they reach a certain size, their exoskeleton is so thick and hard that they can't break it to molt, and they die. All of that stablishes a maximum lifespan that prevent these animals to grow more.
Another factor about the size is that gravity is different on 4546b specifically it’s lower (this is said in the pda I believe and we can also infer it is lower because when you just out of the water with your vehicles they go a lot higher than they normally would)
I believe lobster can continue to grow indefinitely and don't actually age, they just die when they've gotten too big for their body to sustain them anymore. So it doesn't necessarily go against biology, the gargantuan leviathan would probably just die before it got too big if it grew indefinitely
Lobsters being functionally immortal is one of the coolest bits of Earth lore, iirc most lobster die due to exhaustion after maulting if predation or disease don't get them first.
Hello guys! i know this seems very random and off-topic, but the truth is that: Jesus is LORD. i understand that y'all may find it annoying, but that's the truth! For God so loved the world that He gave His one and begotten son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. May God bless you all!
There's a lot of creatures that technically never stop growing. They usually just either die out of starvation, can't shed their exoskeleton/shell or grow too big for their internal systems to function properly. But their cells, as opposed to ours, doesn't deteriorate the more they divide, so they could, in theory, live and grow forever, in that sense
5km is already insane but just IMAGINE a creature OVER 5kms long, its head would be bigger than buildings above 5-6 stories. Not even talking about its teeth.... 100% atleast 7-8 times the height of an average human.
True, but it's worth mentioning that the reason blue whales aren't bigger is because the physically could not survive if they were. There would be too much water to close their mouths around krill/prey fast enough before they swam away, and they'd starve. I'd assume the same would be true for the leviathan
@leadpoisoned45the detail is, the skeleton was found in the lost river, the area a species close to it (ghosts) mate, so in theory thats ether a fertille female with eggs or a juvenile, making so that we cant 100% ensure their max lenght was 5km.
Gravity won’t matter much for a creature that lives in water, its buoyancy has to be about the same as water anyway. Though it couldn’t jump out of water like seen in the mod because gravity would crush it. Even if it had a super strong body that could somehow withstand gravity it wouldn’t jump out of the water for the simple reason that it wouldn’t be energy efficient. The larger something gets the more food it needs and this rises exponentially with body size. First of all the gargantuan leviathan would need to be cold blooded as cold blooded animals need far less energy to survive every day but it would also need to somehow warm itself in the cold of the dead zone, maybe through hydrothermal vents but I doubt it would be possible. The fact that it emits light is also making it even more impossible as while bioluminescence doesn’t usually require much energy, it’s usually extremely dim light. The gargantuan leviathan is basically having hundreds of search lights on its body which would consume so much energy it would need to eat more than the environment has to offer. Even if you pretend that it isn’t a carnivore and gets energy through some other mean there is no chemical reaction that it could use to produce that much energy. Unless it somehow used nuclear fission it couldn’t survive and that is not only biologically impossible, it also would destroy its own dna and even if it somehow could survive that it still couldn’t exist because it would destroy its environment permanently by taking whatever heavy element it would use and permanently changing it into something else rapidly depleting the amount of it in the planet.
@Victoria_Huot that is a very well put argument (not the bad argument, of course, but like a debate argument type) You put excellent points in there. I agree something maybe as big as G.L probably couldn't 🤔 thinking about what you said. Maybe we could have something like the Reaper or bigger or longer, but you're right, maybe not G.L. big.
@ thank you! I definitely believe that it is possible for animals to get much bigger than the blue whale but I doubt a predator could get that large. First of all, in our modern world predators don’t have much evolutionary pressure to get that large, the sperm whale and orca are the exception rather than the norm. There are advantages that come with a certain size but as evolution is a slow process that happens over generations, animals would only get slightly larger than the other members of their species which would not give them an advantage in hunting and would make them more preferable prey to bigger predators especially orca. Because of that there can only really be two species that could be considered, the orca and the sperm whale. Unfortunately orca being bigger would not give them an advantage in hunting as they pretty much just kill everything with little issue and sperm whale wouldn’t have any pressure to get bigger either as they mainly eat squid and have no predators other than orca when they reach adulthood. If we ignore evolution and just create a hypothetical species then yeah it could get very large but still would be quite limited. If we want to stack everything in favour of highest possible size we’d probably need a few things. The animal would need a slow metabolism probably being a reptile, it would need to lay tons of eggs because pregnancy requires a lot of energy and because it couldn’t stay in an area to keep the eggs and babies safe (food being scarce) it would need to rely on numbers to efficiently reproduce. It would also need to be able to perform very short dashes as there is no hope for it to sneak up on anything and persistence hunting consumes more energy. It would need to be mostly in warmer waters because regulating its own temperature wouldn’t be efficient. I definitely think that earth’s oceans could sustain something as large as the sea dragon or bigger but it would probably eat very little. Orca are a good example of just how much food a single predatory organism can consume until it isn’t able to find enough prey. If we treat a pack of orca as a single organism we could maybe compare that to what the biggest possible predator on earth would eat. It’s really fun to try and think of all the ways you could make something as big as possible
@Victoria_Huot absolutely agree. Especially with the last statement. It's incredible to think about the vast possibilities out there. We wouldn't know what's out there in our generations but it's fun to theorize and make things up for the entertainment value because even if just in mind, it's thought provoking and Inspiring. Course God forbid we have xenomorphs or necromorphs. We'd be screwed but reality our greatest fears and worries would be ones we can't see unless under a microscope. Bacteria and viruses foreign to us.
I've heard about something that I forgot the name of, but like it's something where the creature grows depending on how much empty space there is in where it's in, so like a small room they are small, in a giant room they are giant. Ik that's not what the garg is but wouldn't it be cool to see a leviathan like that.
Imagine this though. The probability of some sort of gargantuan leviathan existing is mega high but not on this planet. Maybe under the ice of Neptune or another water based planet, but some sort of leviathan that big is guaranteed to exist out there.
Absolutely is not guaranteed to have something that big out there. Especially not on a planet like Neptune with gravity high enough to send your brain out of your ass
@@thezek6322 being underwater would be different and yes they are likely to exist as we have seemingly infinite galaxies and we have whales as an example of how large things can get. Duh 🙄😒
@@DiabolicGoth Being underwater would be lowering the gravity, but Earth’s gravity is already relatively low for a planet. A planet that could sustain life so large as a gargantuan leviathan would need gravity slightly less than that of earth, because water only reduces effect of gravity on things occupying it… it doesn’t totally eliminate it. In fact deep water on Neptune would be even worse in terms of water pressure, so life forms wouldn’t be able to reach sizes of even a blue whale
@@DiabolicGoth gravity affects water, the planet is gaseous, is composed of gases such as helium, methane, hydrogen and ammonia, and there is no way marine life exists in neptune. (what do you mean with duh or infinite galaxies💀☠️???????????)
With how insanely popular the Garg has become I wouldn't be surprised if the devs just make it cannon at some point, like in an alien research log or something.
gargantuan leviathans growth is TECHNICALLY limitless but at the same time limited because the amount of food needed to support a creature of that size grows as the creature grows but in a 1 on 1 match, the gargantuan leviathan will easily win the old mother
I think i understand what you tried to say, Lobsters cant die of aging, thats why they die of exhaustion and hunger.. the truth is that, nothing can expand or go on forever, so in the end, everything is part of an endless paradox in which nothing is fake and nothing is real. Literally everything wraps into that concept.
Actually it doesn't go against biology, there are creatures that can grow non stop as long as they have enough food irl, but they typically only get so big because of hunting and old age
So technically if this guy relates to a crocodile in this case (so he never stops growing) based on the age the guy would be huge and if he gets old enough and enough food he will be huge.
yeah, because this game actually makes an effort to explain the creatures biology. the "its just fiction" argument is so fucking stupid with games like subnautica
Technically lobsters never stop growing the die when they lose the energy to shed I think someone correct me if I’m wrong but if I’m right then the growth can be limitless as long as they have the energy and proper environment to support the growth
Honestly, I always believed that it was a genetic anomaly, a Mutation in the genes that maybe popped up sometimes, making them grow to ridiculous size. But with many side effects, like slow movement to complete inability to move depending on size. Died of hunger, before old age because they needed to hunt a lot, in an almost constant hunting state, as otherwise they would starve. In my head, the Gargantuan was also not Luminescent, maybe he had some lights near his head to lure prey in, similar to an Anglerfish, but not his whole body, as he basically announces his existence. I mean how much more creepy would it be, to see nothing, till you see with your lights a massive body swimming past you, only to then turn around and see a massive jaw open, with maybe a glowing tongue symbolizing your doom. Or a Huge eyes stalking you from the void. The entire light show thing about he was implemented, took away from the horror, as an enemy that you can barely see, that is so gigantic, till it is ready to munch on you. But yeah, it would be quite impossible for it to exist, as many comments explained, not to mention as an entire race, all not dying of old age, growing infinite in size, not to mention reaching this kind of size. It would make more sense if the skeletons we found, were anomalies, mutations that led a few of them to reach a gigantic state, but it not being normal, maybe only normally reaching the size of a Juvenal if even possible.
i think it would be really cool to think that maybe the gargantuan leviathan and the ghost leviathan are actually very distantly related and that’s why it would grow limitlessly, and the ghosts just inherited that trait
We could place the Garg at “indeterminant growers” since as long as they live and have ample amounts of food the larger they grow or perhaps their growth slows over a vast amount of time they’re alive.
Apologies if the structure of this video is strange. I tried to make it separated as two parts which could be watched independently of each other without too much context (This one covering the mod)
No matter what species, Fish, Human, Dog, if given none or low gravity whilst the animal is growing hypothetically there is no limit to how long it can grow due to adaptation to its new environment.
That thing could swallow you whole and never know. Also, I’m pretty sure they are shown in below zero, meaning we can study their cannon size via that version, however, that was a long time before the first subnuatica, meaning it theoretically could’ve evolved during that time. If you think about it, If it last evolved a million years ago, somewhere in between that timeframe of prequal and original, it’s evolution could’ve finished.
These people have clearly mixed the Gargantuan with the Ghost. It doesn't say anywhere in the Gargantuan leviathan pda that they never stop growing but it DOES say that about the Ghost Leviathan
It’s not biologically impossible to continue growing indefinitely because some animals do that same thing on earth and 4546-B is the perfect habitat for this with deep sea gigantism and the lower gravity making it possible until they can’t sustain themselves
@@Theosphobiafood is not part of biology, Gargs can, theoretically, infinity grow as long as their habitat can provide for them, nothing about thei biology prohibits their insane growth.
limitless grown does not go against biology due to the fact octpus are capable of endless growth depending on their enviornment and this has been tested. the only issue on this fact is food, so in theory if they had endless food and near limitless area to grow.... then they can just keep growing and growing
That limit isn't imposed the same way it is on other animals though, it's solely reliant on their environment. With other animals, like mammals, most can only grow up to a certain size per individual. With Crocs and crustaceans like lobsters and crabs, they can keep growing. The things that stop them are mainly food (and molting for the crustaceans). If you continuously feed a crocodile for years, with the amount of food it needs at that size, it can absolutely grow to incredible sizes. There are already reports of Crocs reaching 20 ft, and the same logic applies to alligators, the biggest reaching 15 ft. An animal continuously growing with no biologically set limit like normal animals isn't unheard of, and doesn't break biology. Of course, this doesn't apply to the garg, as the mod it comes from isn't canon, but it definitely isn't unbelievable.
There isn't a biological limit, however, they can stop due to things like food or simply not being strong enough to lift it's large body, but theoretically there isn't a limit
LMFAO they IS a limit...stop saying there isn't....if there wasn't any limit you would have Crocs the length of rivers 😂😂😂🤦♂️ Y'all need to stop smoking
@@SuperCaspermanyou clearly did no research before making a fool of yourself giant crocs did exist before and also crocs do go "forever" just super slowly.
Fun fact in the entry for I think it was the juvenile it states that Gargs are already biologically impossible so gargs just gave a big old F you to biology
Except that it’s canon it will be possibly be released in Subnautica 2 do with the creators of the mod talking with Subnautica asking for permission to put into the second game
@@kingmole7617So they don't infinitely grow. Theoretically possible infinite growth if you ignore the reasons it doesn't work means impossible infinite growth...
Technically nothing is impossible, just takes a while, even humans can have there lifespans artificially extended, even if it’s unrealisticly expensive
Wasnt there something about how if the biggest identified gargantuan leviathan were to wrap around the world, it would be able to 7 different times? Or is that just another myth?
Bro completely forgets that alligator are the same way. Alligators could life practically forever if it was protected and provided with enough food to sustain it.
Food intake for body size, weight to muscle strength, heart strength... Just because they can ignore one limiting factor doesn't mean there aren't plenty others that make infinite growth impossible... Alternatively show me the infinite crocodile...
The data bank literally says it's one third of the full fossil. If the incomplete one is 500m do the damn math lol. The smaller garg skull is presumably a juvenile or it's child

Also, I’m pretty sure they are shown in below zero, meaning we can study their cannon size via that version, however, that was a long time before the first subnuatica, meaning it theoretically could’ve evolved during that time. If you think about it, If it last evolved a million years ago, somewhere in between that timeframe of prequal and original, it’s evolution could’ve finished.
can't read this comment at all
Goldfish grow limitlessly, so it's not impossible
Only time will tell until they actually make it themselves
*Sharks, crocodiles, and alligators would like to know your location*
Food intake and weight to muscle limits would like to know yours...
Why’d I go “Awh” when I saw the baby-
These people have clearly mixed the Gargantuan with the Ghost. It doesn't say anywhere in the Gargantuan leviathan pda that they never stop growing but it DOES say that about the Ghost Leviathan
The gargantuan would be bigger than the tallest building in the world
Bro the same applies to lobsters and we don’t get irl leviathans because of it
It’s not biologically impossible to continue growing indefinitely because some animals do that same thing on earth and 4546-B is the perfect habitat for this with deep sea gigantism and the lower gravity making it possible until they can’t sustain themselves
"making it possible until they can’t sustain themselves" so you agree that its biologically impossible
@@Theosphobiafood is not part of biology, Gargs can, theoretically, infinity grow as long as their habitat can provide for them, nothing about thei biology prohibits their insane growth.
limitless grown does not go against biology due to the fact octpus are capable of endless growth depending on their enviornment and this has been tested. the only issue on this fact is food, so in theory if they had endless food and near limitless area to grow.... then they can just keep growing and growing
“Goes against biology itself” yea try telling that to the living planet from voyager 19
Indeterminate growth is extremely rare, but real
For ppl saying Crocs still grow...they reach a limit still...or else you would have insane crocs walking the earth today 🤦♂️
Giant crocodile used to walk even with human around its just people hunted them so they're were no more giant crocs
That limit isn't imposed the same way it is on other animals though, it's solely reliant on their environment. With other animals, like mammals, most can only grow up to a certain size per individual. With Crocs and crustaceans like lobsters and crabs, they can keep growing. The things that stop them are mainly food (and molting for the crustaceans). If you continuously feed a crocodile for years, with the amount of food it needs at that size, it can absolutely grow to incredible sizes. There are already reports of Crocs reaching 20 ft, and the same logic applies to alligators, the biggest reaching 15 ft. An animal continuously growing with no biologically set limit like normal animals isn't unheard of, and doesn't break biology. Of course, this doesn't apply to the garg, as the mod it comes from isn't canon, but it definitely isn't unbelievable.
There isn't a biological limit, however, they can stop due to things like food or simply not being strong enough to lift it's large body, but theoretically there isn't a limit
LMFAO they IS a limit...stop saying there isn't....if there wasn't any limit you would have Crocs the length of rivers 😂😂😂🤦♂️
Y'all need to stop smoking
@@SuperCaspermanyou clearly did no research before making a fool of yourself giant crocs did exist before and also crocs do go "forever" just super slowly.
I never knew they added caseoh to the game💀💀💀💀
Caseoh's worst fear
have you ever owned a fish? sometimes they just keep growing. so yes fish do this sometimes and will grow as long as food and space is there.
Friendly reminder that the Gargantuan Leviathan is the second largest Leviathan-Class canonically in Subnautica.
1500m, what's larger
Gargantuans grow until their food cant supply their body’s with enough energy then they die, also small caves like the one near the ghost leviathan
Aren't they immortal and can't die from age but starvation?
Fun fact in the entry for I think it was the juvenile it states that Gargs are already biologically impossible so gargs just gave a big old F you to biology
the 1300m one in the lost river is the adult. The other one is the juvenile.
Bro does not know what deep sea gigantism is 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Why are the babies so cute
limitless growth doesnt go against biology, crocodiles will grow limitlessly as long as there is enough space and food
reMEmBeR iTs oNLy a JuVEnIle
The babys are suppost to be 7 meters tho
The Skeleton Is smaller because the gargantuan that you find in the Lost River Is juvenile
No it's not? Unless you're referring to the skull in the northern blood kelp entrance.
Here before it blows up ig
Except that it’s canon it will be possibly be released in Subnautica 2 do with the creators of the mod talking with Subnautica asking for permission to put into the second game
Never stops growing does occur in some animals I saw a guy say crocodiles but also lobsters can live forever
Could in theory to be clear not in practice they mold then die because they can’t mold anymore or just get eaten
@@kingmole7617So they don't infinitely grow. Theoretically possible infinite growth if you ignore the reasons it doesn't work means impossible infinite growth...
Is this an actual cannon creature?
I thought this was in the base game seeing the mod
For fisch player like me they be saying that Northstar serpent
The gargantuan Leviathan
its eyes are on the sides of its head that means its a prey of something that hunts them frequently SOMETHING EATS GARGS
The eyes are usually rotated in a way to face forward but can also rotate by the side. So basically both.
@ReaperLeviathanFromTheDunes point still stands THAT SOMETHING EATS THEM
@thephoenixflys Orcas have sideways facing eyes and nothing really eats them.
@ReaperLeviathanFromTheDunes where is your sense of fun?
@thephoenixflys Not here rn.
Fun fact the Gargantuan leviathan is 5 kilometers big
have you watched the video, it's a headcanon, the adult skeleton is 1.5km to 1km
@@MuteSupe There is the *Possible* potential that each rib was a little squished by the geology changing around it.
Technically nothing is impossible, just takes a while, even humans can have there lifespans artificially extended, even if it’s unrealisticly expensive
What if instead of the max size being an adult.. what if there was an elder gargantuan?
Wasnt there something about how if the biggest identified gargantuan leviathan were to wrap around the world, it would be able to 7 different times? Or is that just another myth?
How do you get mods in subnautica cuz this looks cool
actually there are some real life animals that dont stop growing(however if they live long enough they will probably die of being to big or something_
Remember the juvenile is only 5km the adult is much bigger
the PDA entry says that the garg is 1.5km, that's the adult. The creater just explained it.
Very good explication
NORTNSTAR SERPENT
Bro completely forgets that alligator are the same way. Alligators could life practically forever if it was protected and provided with enough food to sustain it.
Lobsters as well
They'll still die by their organs out working anymore from crushing weight.
Food intake for body size, weight to muscle strength, heart strength...
Just because they can ignore one limiting factor doesn't mean there aren't plenty others that make infinite growth impossible...
Alternatively show me the infinite crocodile...
Almost was right but then you lied about biology but then you arent a scientist
The garg grows to 5000m and the one in the lost river is a juvenile if you look at data bank
The data bank literally says it's one third of the full fossil. If the incomplete one is 500m do the damn math lol. The smaller garg skull is presumably a juvenile or it's child
I think you meant 5000 meters. At 5000km, it wouldn't even fit on the planet.
@@mh6276 yes I did
Wrong
The data doesn't say that
It's size as a adult is 5 kilometer
how to say you deny facts without saying you're denying said facts
Are you speaking about the content creator or the commenters?
I hate when you tubers say there opinions as fact because there are biological life that grow indefinitely as long as they have food and are healthy
Ever heard of a goddamn crocodile they don't stop growing I will they die of starvation from lack of food or another outside reason
Especially Lobsters.
Actually lobsters are biologically immortal they grow endlessly they just die because they can no longer shed
Didn’t Subnautica say that would be what the gargantuan leviathan would look like?(correct me if im wrong)
Is return of the ancients out yet?
No.
Why did he turn American half way through
There comments have no idea what limitless growth means
The Reason People Were Saying The Modded Garg Is Because You Showed RoTA Footage. If You Show The MOD Garg, People Won't Think You're Talking Canonically.
*this goes against biology* it’s a game about a planet which has numbers for a name and a gigantic snake lookin ah thingy that look like a spider mixed with a snake
Ghost Levi’s can get bigger bc about they eat all the time they can get much bigger
I love the babies
Where does it live?
ITS A ME AGAIN
Mod where?
yea again... its not non canon... dev's ACCEPTED it as this being the garg... if you people still throw unqualified nonsense and false truths around one has to wonder how far humanity did fall already...
Gar is 5km long and 3.1miles big
