The Fractal Guardian is a Europan creature. It is the only creature besides humans to have multiple variants.

Description

First Fractal Guardians have three spike-like limbs that allow it to swim, two on the sides of its head and one at the end of its segmented body, its body consists of four segments, including its head, each segment appears to have two holes on each of them.

Second Fractal Guardians possess an orb-like carapace with two spike-like limbs on its underside. Due to their heavy torso and the fact they only possess two limbs, they are much slower than their worm-like siblings but can withstand more damage.

In-game

Rather uniquely, Fractal Guardians will attack and kill crew members, but will ignore submarines. However, they only spawn in Alien Ruins, meaning one must confront them in person. In this case, it is best to bring something capable of stunning the Fractal Guardians, although they can be defeated with an Ancient Weapon if you're lucky enough to own one.

While there will only be one of a given variant of a Fractal Guardian in a level, their can be multiple Fractal Guardians of different variants. For example, an Alien Ruin could contain one First Fractal Guardian and one Second Fractal Guardian, but not two First Fractal Guardians.
