The only species that does not reproduce is the Warper, as they are artificial constructs. At least one fauna species is exempt from this and reproduces entirely asexually, although the norm for the planet is sexual reproduction, as can be observed in all species that can be placed in an Alien Containment unit who will require two individuals of their species to produce eggs. Two parents are still required to fertilize the eggs once laid, making it sexual reproduction. Most known fauna species on Planet 4546B are simultaneous hermaphrodites, meaning that they have a single-sex capable of playing the role of either the male or female in reproduction and every individual being able to lay eggs and fertilize them.

The player can scan Fauna with the Scanner, the same as they would with Flora and objects, allowing them to view information about the creatures in their PDA. The fact that the appearance of some species of the planet being similar to that of planet Earth species can be explained as a simple case of convergent evolution. Certain species of small fauna can sometimes be seen forming mostly non-interactive shoals.

Fauna on Planet 4546B is capable of enduring and adapting to various environments, although previously unable to thrive due to the presence of the Kharaa Bacterium. Ranging from the tiny, cave-dwelling Rockgrub, to the colossal Sea Dragon Leviathan that spews molten minerals from its mouth.
