Are you wondering about all the alien creatures in Revenge of the Savage Planet? Dozens of these lifeforms found in various worlds can be caught. Doing so even nets you some amazing upgrades, though you need to put a lot of effort when thoroughly exploring areas. Our guide has all the details you need to help you in your playthrough.
All alien creatures that you can capture in Revenge of the Savage Planet – Alien fauna guide
There are 36 alien lifeforms/fauna that you can capture in the game. This is done by using the Proton Whip. Simply hold down the button to lasso and pull a target closer to you. If you don’t move or take damage during this process, a vortex will spawn and funnel in the creature. Note that in some cases, you might need to stun a target first by hitting their weak spot.
In any case, captured alien animals reappear in the pens in your habitat. From there, you can use the computer in your base to research their biology. Doing so nets you various unlocks, including new gadgets/abilities and color palettes for outfits.
Note 1: For our Revenge of the Savage Planet alien creatures guide, we’ve listed only those that can be captured with the lasso and, thus, researched via your computer. We did not include the following:
- Tiny critters – Critters–e.g. Mantis, Kiwi Slug, and others–tend to die immediately when you hit them with your whip or when you step on them.
- Bosses, space whales, and dangerous plants – They cannot be captured.
- Underwater creatures – You can’t use your whip underwater.
- Enemies found in Interstellar Enigma shrines – These are hybrid variants of regular enemies. You can scan them, but the whip lasso won’t work on them. That said, the “item rewards” you obtain at the end of each trial need to be researched.
Note 2: Some animals have habitats in multiple worlds/biomes, though we’ve listed them on the planet where we first encountered them.
