A survival knife is among the first tools that a player can craft, and they can use it to stab wildlife in self-defense. No wounds are ever visible, and the only indication of injury is a cloud of yellowish blood in the water.

Nearly all of the game's named characters are dead by the time the player learns of these people, and the only traces left of them are audio logs recorded prior to their deaths. No bodies are ever discovered by the player.

Dependant on the player's actions, but if you hatch a cuddlefish and move them to open water, there is no way to pick them back up to them home with you.

Not only are there many predatory fish in the ocean, but as the story progresses, your character intercepts some garbled messages from one "agent" to another, which imply that they are hunting you.

Various creatures throughout the game can be found with green pustules on their skin.

Later in the story after the player character reaches a certain location, the same green pustules appear on the PC's hands for a cutscene, but these can be covered by wearing gloves.

This can happen and it’s mentioned in the second game which proves canonically people have been fatally injured from dropping off of flying animals or falling off literal mountains. Which are both ways you can die in-game.

Some creatures (mostly the leviathans) can get close to you if you’re not careful and are very loud/aggressive. Warpers can teleport you to them. Also there is a scene where the sea emperor leviathan speaks to you telepathically with no warning.

There is no outright possession, but there is a fish that can hypnotise you, which forces you to slow down and stare at it. This can result in it killing you, or you drowning.

not exactly, you can hit creatures with underwater vehicles, and you can potentially die from a glitch of getting out of the "seamoth" vehicle, running it into yourself and getting damaged. but aside from that, no.

The Aroura explodes (your PDA tells you when it’s going to happen but it is rather loud).

There is a gun in the game, but it’s used to stop time, not to shoot bullets. There are still torpedos however.
