Capturing and researching alien creatures in Revenge of the Savage Planet is a key aspect of the game, offering valuable upgrades and customization options. This guide provides an overview of all the alien species you can capture, where to find them, and how to collect them effectively.
Revenge of the Savage Planet features 36 different alien species that players can capture using the Proton Whip. To capture a creature, aim your Proton Whip and hold the button, drawing the target towards you. If you maintain your focus without moving or taking damage, the creature will be absorbed into a vortex. In some cases, stunning the target by attacking its weak spot is necessary.
Captured creatures are transported to pens in your habitat, where you can research them using the base computer. This research grants various rewards, including new gadgets, abilities, and color palettes for your character’s outfits.
