Many players tend to take pictures of sweeping vistas and stunning edifices when playing Bethesdaā€™s latest - and most controversial - open-world RPG, Starfield. Rarely do you see somebody who allows the galaxyā€™s other sentient species to take center stage, too. That's a chance they deserve, especially the various fauna on the gameā€™s numerous planets.

Thatā€™s true, at least until this X user came along. Like our previous Photo of the Week feature, this weekā€™s selected snap exposes the gameā€™s most underrated characters that otherwise provide much-needed resources and experience points.

Isn't he beautiful?

This monster, which you can find on Bel II, is a curious visual mix of a hammerhead shark and a prehistoric Pterodactyl. It has the Pterosaur's wings, legs, and talons combined with the hammerhead shark's distinctive head and tail.

Three others are in the userā€™s gallery and uploaded to his X account, @thedailydiplo. Make sure to go there and check those images out.

Starfield has once again been featured in the mainstream gaming news media. Weā€™d have to admit the news is not good because the gameā€™s scores seem to have dropped further toward the ā€œMostly Negativeā€ territory.

Bethesdaā€™s customer support representatives have worked hard to manage the gameā€™s reputation on Reddit and Steam. The studio itself has already announced on Elon Muskā€™s X that it will release a series of updates starting in February to improve player experience.

The promised changes include ā€œnew ways of travel,ā€ although BGS has yet to specify what these would be, leaving players to speculate or wait until the patches drop.
