* GoddamnedBats:
** Small hostile fish like Lionfish can be a nightmare. While they do measly damage, they're hard to hit due to their size and LOVE to give chase, which can make you take multiple hits before you get enough distance to harpoon them. If there's two or more, harpooning them is very risky cause one of them can attack you while you try to harpoon the other one, doing damage and making you drop the harpoon, which means the one you were just harpooning is free to contribute to the pain. Some of them, like Longspine Squirrelfish, move in schools; while one of them is nowhere near a threat, ''twenty'' of them [[DeathOfAThousandCuts can shred you into chum with the quickness]]. And since hey can stun you, they can straight-up get you killed when they attack you while you have something like a Longnose Sawshark on your tail.
** Tuna. Yes, friggin' '''tuna'''. Tuna travel in groups of three or more, [[LightningBruiser are insanely fast AND hardy]], and will plow into you like no one's business. Unless you have a gun that can paralyze them or put them to sleep, being able to take one of them down is most definitely a challenge.

* MythologyGag: The ''DREDGE'' DLC features several references to its source:
** The boat exploration is a replica of the main gameplay, down to the wheel-shaped treasure hauling game. The Travelling Merchant gifts Dave a lamp called the "Sky Fire" so he can explore the fog, which is identical to the Flame of the Sky lamp.

** The Hooded Figures and ability to explore for Aberrant Fish only appear on nights with [[FogOfDoom Red Fog]], just like the sinister red fog that only appears at nighttime and rapidly increases the Panic meter if you get too close to it.

** The DLC adds yet another UnexpectedGameplayChange in the form of being able to directly control Cobra's boat to explore the area around the Blue Hole.

* EldritchLocation: The Blue Hole is a giant inexplicable phenomenon where aquatic wildlife from different ecosystems show up and live comfortably while giant sea creatures roam about, which is only the most ordinary part. There's also a Tibetian-like culture of Sea People living at the very bottom, a neighboring glacial area with hydrothermal vents where literal prehistoric creatures are thriving and the DLC adds [[VideoGame/{{DREDGE}} Abberated Fish]] and ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' alongside other {{Kaiju}} to the mix.

As the final capstone, the geography and wildlife mix changes every time Dave jumps in the water, and anything man-made that Dave didn't bring with him will crumble to pieces when he gets back on his boat.
