Apex

The Apex is a hostile Typhon encountered on Talos I during Prey (2017).

Overview
The Apex is the largest Typhon yet observed, and attacks and begins consuming the Talos I space station near the end of Prey. The Apex is most likely summoned by the structure known as "Coral" constructed by the Typhon, which Alex Yu claims is a means of communication for the Typhon. The Apex cannot be killed directly by Morgan but its tendrils can be destroyed, even though they will return shortly. The process of creating an Apex is unknown. Capabilities of an Apex are unknown or unclear. It is possible that an Apex can create other Typhon organisms in a manner similar to Weavers.

There is only two ways to defeat Apex which the choice lies on player itself, destroying Talos I through self-destruct which results in destroying the Apex as well or installing the Nullwave on the Heart of Coral to defeat the Apex without destroying Talos I.

Trivia

 * When trying to scan the Apex, Yu's Hp is reduced to 1, their Psi is drained completely and it instills fear but no scan research is cataloged.
 * An Apex predator is an animal on top of the food chain, where nothing is able to hunt it.
 * Apex's Tendrils are extremely weak. One shot from any weapon will kill it and when scanned with psychoscope to 70% done, the tendrils will disappear.
 * All side quest missions on Talos I Exterior will be instantly failed once the Apex arrived.
