DLC Ideas
- Expanding on the shark cult
- Maneater worshipped as the avatar of a Great Old One (the Player) with Trip Westhaven becoming a cultist
- Kyle surviving and seeking to avenge his father
- The Maneater vs. the Kraken
- Could add cephalopod-type animals (octopi, squids, cuttlefish, etc.)
- The Maneater vs. the Megalodon
- Size increases to ~12 - 15 meters
- Jossed — there are no plans for further DLC or additional content
New Mutation/Set Ideas
- Quilled set with pufferfish-type spines and/or lionfish-type fins that damages opponents via ramming and deal poison damage via tail-strikes
- Crocodilian set that gives the shark armored scales, crocodilian fangs, clawed fins, and a serrated tail; midling swim-speed but increases the amount of time that can be spent on land
- Jossed — there are no plans for further DLC or additional content

Replacement sharks
When the Bullshark dies, Trip will sometimes ask somebody offscreen if they can get a new Maneater to replace her, and yet he treats these replacements the same as the original shark. From this, my idea is that, since this is all presumably a recording of the Bullshark's rampages before it gets edited and put on air (judging by how he references the final cut when the shark confronts Mama Maybell), the death of any sharks used in the show would be skipped over; there only ever was one Bullshark, regardless of how many sharks died during the show's production.
