Cripes! WTF is this???

So I get under the X to do up some oil change and what do I find? I hugetacular DENT smack middle of the oil pan some 4x6 inches and 3/4 deep. Not sure how it got there. Subaru did the last oil change and they never said anything.
I intend to take the pan off and take a look inside.

There's a gasket between the pan and the block, right? So I should geta new one before I mess with it?

Isn't there an oil pickup screen in there or something? Should I get a new pan or bash this one out with a hammer. I don't think that's really possible, but...

Possible trauma? I imagine I narrowly avoided disaster on this one.
