Overview

• Krafton published a developer video that introduces the Collector Leviathan, a giant four‑tentacled predator with reactive behavior.
• Design notes describe the creature as intelligent yet irritable, capable of grabbing, crushing, and swatting players while signaling its mood through distinct sounds.
• The brief outlines spawn logic in the Sparse Plains at roughly 20–25,000 units from the player, short search behavior if provoked, and despawn beyond about 45,000 units.
• Only one Collector appears per session, including in co-op play, according to the work-in-progress design shown in the vlog.
• The video tracks the pipeline from concept art to modeling, animation, VFX, and AI, and teases biomes such as Sparse Plains and Outer Bounds as the legal dispute over early access readiness and earn-outs continues.
