Swamps Are Evil: Difference between revisions

** Further north from Nyissa there's the Fens in Drasnia (and part of Algaria). Their bad reputation comes from the countless midges and the fact that navigation is problematic at best. Much of what looks like solid land are in fact free floating mounds of vegetation that float around in the sluggish current. There are also fenlings, intelligent, otter-like creatures that have a reputation for changing channels around. They'd do it too, more out of a sense of mischief than maliciousness though.

* The ''[[Goosebumps]]'' book, and tv adaptation, of ''The Werewolf of Fever Swamp'' of course features the titular werewolf as the main antaganist. However the swamp itself is presented as a far greater [[Ultimate Evil]].

** While Mrs. Gogol is on the side of the protagonists, she's not completely morally white, having been the lover and supporter of the rather tyrannical Baron, until he was deposed by the even more tyrannical Lady Lilith.

* In ''[[The Art of War]]'', Sun Tzu advises the reader never to lead his army through a swamp, because that's the best place for the enemy to lay an ambush.

* ''[[NetHack]]'' has the swamp floor in Gehennom, which is full of hostile jellies, slimes, and other amorphous monsters such as mimics and {{spoiler|demon lord Juiblex}}.

* In ''[[MapleStory]]'', the swamps outside of Kenning City is a nasty place full of snakes, crocodiles, and [[Muck Monster]]s.
