[crustyshrimp]

death on the oil rig.

[normalbirb]

oh god it just hit me im gonna have to rig this manually rather than cheat it with rigify.....

[gomzdrawfr]

finished two to do list so I wanted to reward myself with Dredge again by visiting my two fav places on the map :>

off we go!

[sorelymisinken]

Dredge might as be called Dread sometimes

So anyway...

[infestedguest]

Just found out about the iron rig dlc for dredge and im so fucking mad because I can’t play it because my computer bricked itself and probably won’t be repaired for at least another week. Also I now have to stop my oncoming bought of dredgeposting almost immediately after it started bc this game is one of the few things I avoid spoilers for.

Every Dredge Aberration (2024), part 14

Over sea and sky raced their hideous, cacophonous sound.

Industrial din, siren’s wail, and earth’s quake,

at once was joined by a dragon’s wake.

Lo! they call, see it winding their false island around.

Hear it threaten to punish their folly if found.

Over waves rang a crescendo warning for the final chain’s break. ₊˚.༄

Crawling Instar ˚.༄

Encyclopedia #181

Aberrant form of Opabinia

Description:

Folds of flesh contract in rhythmic waves, roving ceaselessly towards its target

Comment: Do you understand what an “instar” is? It’s a term to describe an insect or other arthropod still on a path of multiple molts to achieve its mature form. This above, like itself before the ooze’s touch, is still a larval stage of something greater.

How to catch: For this specimen you will have to be switching back to shallows-appropriate advanced gear. Return to the mangroves and surrounding jungle graveyard. You can easily guess where you’ll be looking for a harvesting spot by now.

Boreal Shell ˚.༄

Encyclopedia #182

Aberrant form of boreaspis

Description:

A cold wind blows through a skelatal frame, condensed into the light of a ghostly aurora.

Comment: Ironically, it’s construction scratches better an itch for something I previously didn’t know how badly was missing in the Stellar Basin, or the Pale reach- The signature beauty of their nights wrapped into a cruelly clever play on the boreaspis’s name. Nonetheless, it is still so wrong and unbelonging to the warm and vibrant swamps. A treasured find for the record.

How to catch: An infused coiling rod is the sole tool to drag through the thickness of sinister ooze and twisted tangles of the bog both.

Broken Arapaima ˚.༄

Encyclopedia #183

Aberrant form of arapaima

Description:

Scales plucked from skin turned leather. Eyes paled from the agony of knotted muscles. Bones unset and set untrue.

Comment: Warped bodies as powerless before the elder presence as any other. The flesh must either embrace the change, bend with the current, or it will be broken so easily. We would be foolish to believe we are any stronger.

How to catch: As above ^^^

Primordial Shadow ˚.༄

Encyclopedia #184

Aberrant form of Xiphactinus

Description:

Whispering purple plates orbit and lock around a shadowy core. Shapes of darkness fill the spaces between.

Comment: Not even before I’m done in my bewitched appreciation of the boreal shell, this other living artwork comes into clutches. Did you plunge too far into that darkness, ancient fish? What I don’t have a clue of is whether this new shell is an organic or salvaged one.

How to catch: ^^^

Effigy Crab

Encyclopedia #185

Aberrant form of horseshoe crab

Description:

Wisps of yellow light flicker within this ghastly shell, a screaming skull with a spinal tail.

Comment: I wish I could just dissect the little mutant to find out exactly what's ticking inside that bone armor. Whether flesh, gem, or fluid, the whole animal will be needed as one of the pigments making up the Golden Treasure paint selection.

How to catch: Simply set crab pots about the Twisted Strand, specifically at water no deeper than 10 meters.

Mire Screecher

Encyclopedia #186

Aberrant form of giant mud crab

Description:

A lashing yellow tongue whips around a mouth of flattened teeth. Two humanlike eyeballs burst between dripping claws.

Comment: When a wise man once remarked that he had fought mud crabs more fearsome than you, perhaps he had been referring to these. Take one of them down to Little Marrow to complete the requirements for a beautiful new paint job.

How to catch: With enough space, these are probable to also turn up in the same pots as your horseshoe crabs, but their full depth range runs between 5 and 25 meters.

Wretched Nipper ˚.༄

Encyclopedia #187

Aberrant form of nipponite

Description:

Blunt teeth and a forked tongue test the flanks of passing creatures. A single loosened scale is enough.

Comment: For just a moment, I mistook this atrocity against natural law for one of those office staple removers. Retaining some of the knotted oddness of the original mollusk, it boasts very openly its poorness as a swimmer, likely preferring to simply wait in ambush.

How to catch: Release your own waiting jaws- being a crab pot trap- into the ink blooms about the Twisted Strand. 0–50 meters is their possible range, so most optimal recommendation is to place at further than 25.

Don't you just love democracy? <3

I'm very passionate about Dredge and lemme tell you, since I just 100%'ed Ender Lilies, I'm downloading the Iron Rig DLC and am so excited to come back to the creepy fishy woooorld!

[raccoon-in-a-hoodie]

[selfindulgentraptor]

Arc-En-Posciel the parrot fish just got a full blown rig (made by me!!)

It took a LOT of patience, but the rig is surprisingly stable! Here's some test stuff just for fun

(and the horrifying node view)

Posciel is my interpretation of April Fools' Easter Bunny if you will. You can check it out along with my other OCs on my ToyHouse!

how do we feel abt dredge again tonight . 9pm est ish

[tsarjozinzbazin]

Dude help me

WHAT KIND OF PETNAMES WOULD DWARVES USE? What would they call eachother??? Idk what these goobers would call eachother so I am at a loss

idk how to explain this but they're the types to use the strangest things as pet names??

like Driller would call someone "My beautiful corrosive sludge pump" in an endearing way and it'd be entirely normal somehow

Sending you hugs, wishes, and ottabura kisses.

Happy Valentine's Day! 💘

The play on words are: "I think you ought to (oughtta) be my Valentine" "You're out of (outta) this world, Valentine" "Sending you a whole lot of (lotta) love"
