Summary
One unluckyStarfieldplayer runs into an enemy type that makes the game’s Terrormorphs look like a normal creature in comparison. As more players start exploring the different worlds inStarfield, different enemy types are starting to be discovered, fleshing out the game’s expansive universe.
When the first trailers started dropping forStarfield, many people wondered how much alien life there would be in the game. Now that the game is out, fans have encountered plenty of unnatural creatures, and a lot of them want to kill the player. One of the more dangerousaliens inStarfieldis the Terrormorph, a four-legged spider-like creature known for its aggressive nature and acid spit. Players can run into Terrormorphs on any planet in the game, and killing one will net them a good amount of XP. As it turns out, there are more spider-like creatures for the player to worry about while traveling from planet to planet.

Reddit user GourdEnthusiast posted a video ofanother creature inStarfieldthat many players would find much scarier than Terrormorphs. In the clip, the player can be seen exploring a barren planet, just like any other normal day. Suddenly, a level 40 spider-octopus-type creature appears from behind a rock and quickly chases after the player. GourdEnthusiast fires their AK-47, but the strange monster barely feels it. The player tries to hide behind a nearby rock, but the creature just crawls right over it and keeps attacking. Eventually, the GourdEnthusiast manages to put enough rounds into the spider creature to finally take it down.
The creature that GourdEnthusiast ran into is called a Hunting Cephalopod, and they can be found on the planetNirvana 2 inStarfield. They are extremely powerful creatures who can easily kill some players with one hit if they don’t have the proper armor. The recommended way to handle these creatures is for players to level up their jet packs to stay in the air and take them out from above.
In the comments for the video, other players mention that they’ve also encounteredHunting Cephalopods inStarfield, with some of the stories sounding scarier than the posted clip. One commenter claimed to have found a flying version of this creature in the Archimedes System, one found a cloaked version on a random planet, and another person fought three of these creatures alone at night. With a thousand planets inStarfield, there’s no telling what other types of creatures people will find as they travel the stars.
Starfieldis available now on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
