Line 85:
* In ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', swamps are the traditional home of black dragons, generally regarded as the most sinister and malicious of all dragon breeds. Other inhabitants include the evil frog-like bullywugs and the more neutral (but still aggressive) lizardfolk.
** Taken [[Up To Eleven]] with Minaurus, the fifth layer of Hell. The entire layer is a swamp, full of quicksand, geysers of boiling mud, oily rain, jagged hail, dangerous insects... Yeah, it's a horrible place that even other devils - except kytons, who seem to be natives - don't like much, and the largest city (also called Minaurus) is constantly sinking, as devils employ groups of damned souls and mortal slaves to scour the swamp for stone to either shore it up or rebuild it. It's widely known that Mammon, the Lord of the Fifth, is a lazy, selfish despot who simply doesn't care about the city's welfare.
** Also, the Swamp of Oblivion. Residents of [[Forgotten Realms|Toril]] believe this is the Para Elemental Plane of Ooze, but it is actually one part of said Plane. It is certainly one of the most dangerous areas of Ooze, populated by hags, swarms of nasty mosquitos and leeches, twisted trees, bullywugs, troglodytes, and even sahuagin, plus the typical residents of Ooze, like elementals, mephits, and [[Muck Monster]]s of all varieties. And it not even close to being the ''most'' dangerous part of Ooze; the Choking Smogs and the Oubliette are much worse.
