The biome borders the Glacial Bay and Glacial Connection. The biome plays a vital role in Samantha Ayou's part of the story. Players taking the latter route will find themselves surfacing a lake in the southern portion of the biome. Players accessing the biome through the Glacial Bay will find themselves near the Phi Robotics Center. The Glacial Basin is a large above-ground biome in Subnautica: Below Zero that is accessed from either the Glacial Bay or the Glacial Connection.

It also very closely resembles the head of the male ribbon eel. The Brinewing bears many features reminiscent of members of the real life group of fish Sygnathiformes The large transparent fins resemble the oversized fins of the flying gurnard, whilst the long snout and general head shape resembles the elongated snouts of Sygnathiforme fish within the subfamily Hippocampinae i.e. The real danger is being helplessly encased in a block of ice, sinking ever closer towards the brinewing's jaws. While warm-blooded lifeforms may suffer minor injuries on contact with the brine, it is not cold enough to freeze most vertebrates. The brinewing can then contract its bladder, expelling the supercooled brine and freezing the seawater up to several meters away from it Two flat, transparent, extendable fins act as radiators, releasing heat and cooling the bladder's contents Some water is filtered out through an internal membrane, leaving behind a strong saline solution A large bladder on the brinewing's underside fills with sea water as it swims The player can be thawed by clicking LMB continuously.Ī medium-sized predator known to spit supercooled salt water to freeze its prey from afar. This does no damage and the Brinewing has no harmful attack, but it leaves the player helpless and slowly sinking for several seconds, vulnerable to oxygen depletion and attacks by any nearby Symbiotes.

The Brinewing will attack and, if Robin or a creature is hit, freeze them.

The Brinewing's enlarged pectoral fins are used to keep the saline at supercritical temperatures by fully extending them it ensures that heat loss from the body is maximised, keeping the saline in the bladder cold. After this, the Brinewing's belly will shrink back to normal size and it will grab and eat the frozen prey, before recharging its saline solution over a short period of time. The Brinewing shoots ten icicles of the solution at its prey, which on contact will encase the target in ice, temporarily immobilizing it. While hunting, the Brinewing has an enlarged belly, indicating it is prepared to release the solution.

As this solution is far colder than the water around it, the water in immediate contact with it is frozen. A super cooled saline solution is expelled through the mouth by the contraction of a highly elastic bladder. The Brinewing has two dark green eyes that become lighter towards the black pupil, and a small hole above each of these eyes that may be nostrils. The brine bladder expands to accommodate the brine the creature uses to attack its prey, becoming distended and translucent. The brine bladder is white in color and has a pair of short spikes on each side of the body. The front portion of the body is yellow and the back portion blue with yellow rings. The main body is small, ending with a tail fin that appears to have been heavily reduced into a small spike.

In their resting state the fins appear small and triangular, but can extend into an almost full semicircle shape. The two fins are composed of a thin yellow appendage with a translucent blue membrane attached. The top jaw has a blue tip with a pair of small blue spines protruding upwards from it.
