A small and slimy dragon, covered in swamp muck.

It smells terrible.


"Sweet is the swamp with its secrets,
Until we meet a snake;
'T is then we sigh for houses,
And our departure take

At that enthralling gallop
That only childhood knows.
A snake is summer's treason,
And guile is where it goes."

-Emily Dickinson, "A Snake." ca. 1865.

Useful Info

Tips & Tricks

  • They can be frustratingly lethal when encountered near deep water or lava due to the risk of drowning while confused. If you have to fight them without poison resistance or clarity, use extreme caution.
  • Clouds prevent other clouds from forming, so if you have no other resistances, use one of the Swamp's atmospheric floating clouds to keep from being confused.
