Viperfish are deep-sea enemies encountered in SOMA. Simon Jarrett briefly encounters a large shoal of them during his trek through the Abyss.

Description[]

Viperfish are the eponymous creatures which have been mutated by Structure Gel. This causes them to have increased dramatically in size compared to a regular viperfish.

The Viperfish appear to have an animate human face fused on top of the head, possibly belonging to their previous victims.

Behavior[]

Viperfish swim and attack in groups, but do not touch Simon while he is near lamps, although they may swim extremely close to them. They are the weakest enemy in SOMA, and Simon can survive several hits from them. Viperfish will not enter storage crates found in the Abyss, making them a good hiding spot.

Appearances[]

During Simon's trek to Tau, the Viperfish make several appearances. Strong geothermal currents caused by fault line activity hinder Simon's progress, making it easier for the shoal to make frequent passes at Simon in an attempt to attack him.
