DREADMOOR fish list (2026 video game)
Last checked: · Public sources listed below
Steam’s store text promises dozens of dangerous and rare species. The public notes do not name dozens. The demo write-ups agree on six you can catch: Snapper, Softgazer (also spelled Softgrazer), Shovel Nose, Sharp Fin, Sturdy Crawler, and Harpooner. Update #1 added three fish models without printing their names. Update #2 added Bloodgill spots and a quest marker. This table is “named so far,” not “all fish.”
Rarity and price are blank when the source left them blank. Sharp Fin and Sturdy Crawler have no bait in the notes I used, so those cells are empty on purpose. Bloodgill is the only species with enough of its own errand to justify a page. Harpooner has a stall guide, linked from the name, so it does not get a second article that would compete with that one.
A demo fish table from 30 Oct 2026 says Bloodgill was not in the demo and accused other sites of inventing it. Destructoid on 10 Nov 2026, plus the patch note, place it in Early Access. I treat that as a build change, not as two sites inventing one fish.
7 species
| Name | Type | Where | Bait | Use | Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bloodgill | Predatory | South of The Slough trading post; becomes much more common around the Big Hollow once that area unlocks | Rainbow Fin; Flaming Belly | Father Matthias quest turn-in (two fish); progresses the tuning-fork ritual at the top of his island | Own page |
| Snapper | Common, peaceful | Under the starting pier and in shallow water | Earthworm | Fish meat, food, fuel through the Fuel Larva, trader stock | Table only |
| Softgazer | Peaceful, bioluminescent | Open water near the trading post, often close to the boat | Wind-Up Tin (metal plate + fish meat) | Chromatic scales for the Rainbow Fin; meat for fuel | Table only |
| Shovel Nose | Common | Deeper edges and channel water where the bottom drops away | Tin spinner or Fancy Blue | Meat, scales, trade fish | Table only |
| Sharp Fin | Common | Rocky edges and structure | — | Meat | Table only |
| Sturdy Crawler | Common, bottom-dwelling | Reeds, shallows and muddy edges | — | Meat; fallback catch when the pier is fished out | Table only |
| Harpooner | Predatory | Skull-marked predatory water, usually away from the pier | Predatory bait (Rainbow Fin is the documented demo lure) | Carcass; three carcasses trade for the Carburetor instead of paying 50 coins | Stall guide |

Questions
Is this every fish?
No. It is every species a public note has named. The store’s “dozens” are not listed anywhere I can cite.
Why is Softgazer spelled two ways?
dreadmoor.site writes Softgrazer and dreadmoors.wiki writes Softgazer. I use Softgazer and keep the other spelling as an alias.
