Description:

In the sable depths, elder blood seeps through the void; each conquest of corruption weakening the veil.

From host to host, it withers and wanders, climbing towards the clouding Sky.

Such transient flesh has no hope of enduring the true Deep.

Comment: We did this, witless, predictable fools to our last. Stones and silt which sat undisturbed for millennia, we pierced knowingly. Stygian shores, we sailed on blasphemous winds. A nameless hunger beyond compare we elected to feed. A cycle otherworldly we pretended natural and beyond our touch, when damnable we alone turned its wheel once more.

Deliver the vessel

Fulfill the hunger

Feed the mouth

An answer…

The ice… takes form

How audacious are we to be surprised at the betokened outcome? From the first innocent horror we ever laid eyes on in the Marrows, this was exactly what these ancients warned- no, promised us from the start.

Bring down the sky

More still… hungry

Sustain the mind

Another, a sacrifice

The stars… leave the sky

Salvation, blessings, never were we offered, never were we deserved from our guests. For see, it was us, mere flotsam, who reached to touch what cared not beyond the flesh and what the flesh offered. We advertised ourselves when we called to The Deep in invitation, with every time we grabbed and pulled it up thrashing and gnashing at us, so we could bare it before the light.

Raise the deep

Almost. Fulfilled.

Consume the sky

Sense… an opening

Fall… to the deep

Our reward, the Deep’s will, the disciples’ prophetic ramblings were all obvious from the very beginning.

So fear not the response you so beckoned for. Behold it… aberrance, naked, and pelagic, born from that space where the firmament between a hell and the heavens is sundered through. Finally find what the dozens before us have given everything in blind searching for.

Become witness before our humanity’s imago, as it unmasks the paths before you to choose... Oblige the hunger, or starve it. Shield your eyes, or gaze long into that abyss. Hold your tongue, or beg for the answers- remain lost, or be found. Break the chain, or begin the cycle anew. Raise them up to stay,

or throw.

them.

back.

How to catch: Follow the spidering fault trails back to their regrettable source. He waits for you there. Truthfully, he may be anywhere in the open sea, but you are most likely to encounter him beneath that ruined platform where it all began. Grotesque appetites favor grotesque meals, and use of aberrated bait is not optional in pursuit of him. Make sure an oceanic line is equipped and only that rod. Be persistent, very, very, very persistent, and above all, lucky. (I cannot emphasize how wildly the roughly 5% catching chance will play into this. It took me dozens of tries before I completed this collection with him, so I will share what was most helpful to me- stock up on many aberrant baits, about 10 or so, and save once before burning through this inventory trying. Upon failure just reload the save and try again, rinsing and repeating until you have conquered him for your own.)

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!

[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)

[stuck-in-the-ghost-zone]

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

[sundownsquad]

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"

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.
