Dreadbear can be seen staring at the player from the title logo in the DLC's title screen. He can also be seen in the game over screen, seemingly reaching out towards the player. Sometimes, he will appear on the level selection hub if the player idles for long enough.
Danger! Keep Out!
Dreadbear appears in Night 3 of Danger! Keep Out!, where he behaves similarly to Freddy Fazbear. He starts on the stage and approaches from the right side. As he travels through the pizzeria, the player must flash him on the cameras to stop him from reaching the right door. Unlike the other animatronics, Dreadbear's progress doesn't reset upon being flashed. Instead, he's only temporarily halted. Once he reaches the right door, he will instantly break through and attack the player.
Spooky Mansion
In the Spooky Mansion: "Dreadbear" level, HandUnit walks the player through specific steps to bring Dreadbear to life, with the mechanics functioning similarly to the Parts and Service levels in the base game. The player must color his brain correctly, while also setting the correct brain waves, and making it the right size to place it in Dreadbear's head. While doing that, the player must perfect his brain while keeping the power on. Getting any of these requirements wrong will result in Dreadbear attacking the player.

Get the DREAD mug.The sick-to-your-stomach feeling you get when your friend loves Panera bread's trashy food and wants to go there all the time for EVERY meal.
Dude I don't want to go to Panera again! I get Panera dread every time you say that shit. It's overly expensive hospital food produced by another mindless corporation.

Transhuman dread feels like a paralyzing, overwhelming fear that causes a person's mind and body to freeze. It's the visceral reaction to witnessing something that appears both human and impossible, like a being that is unnaturally large, fast, and powerful moving with the speed of a predator. This fear can be so intense that it leads to a loss of motor control, such as freezing in place or involuntary loss of bladder and bowel control.
"Transhuman dread. Aximand had heard iterators talk of the condition. He’d heard descriptions of it from regular Army officers too. The sight of an Adeptus Astartes was one thing: taller and broader than a man could ever be, armoured like a demigod. The singularity of purpose was self-evident. An Adeptus Astartes was designed to fight and kill anything that didn’t annihilate it first. If you saw an Adeptus Astartes, you knew you were in trouble. The appearance alone cowed you with fear."

noun
The feeling of slow, creeping fear that occurs when everything is visible, calm, and beautiful—yet your body knows something is wrong. A genre where reassurance fails, daylight offers no protection, and the viewer realizes they are part of what’s happening simply by watching.

A24's Midsommar is daylight psychological dread before it meets horror. Everything is bright and colorful but I feel awful inside.

This painting is giving me daylight psychological dread vibes. The islands and water are bright and beautiful but the title is called "You Left Me Here." That makes me feel uneasy.
