== Description ==
Swamp Beasts are strange creatures, partially amphibious and partly plantbased monsters that live in swamps and sleep there for thousands of years before awaking to seek prey. They are large, about eight to nine feet tall, muscular, and look like humanoid lizards with musculature made out of tightly-wound ivy and algae.
== Location ==
Swamps, especially in the American South and the Scottish moors.
== Modus Operandi ==
Swamp Beasts hibernate for a long period of time, although this time can greatly vary from Beast to Beast. When they rise up from the swamp, it is normally because something has been done to wake them. Realizing they are hungry, they seek out prey and violently rend them and eat them. Once they have eaten their fill, which takes place over three horror-filled days, they return to the swamp and go back to sleep.
== Neutralization ==
Swamp Beasts return to the swamp between kills to rejuvenate. If they can become fully submerged in the swamp, they can immediately heal all injury. If they begin to lose in combat, they will instantly retreat and head back to the swamp. The key to defeating them is to keep them from reaching the swamp.
== Story Seed ==
A logging operation in Florida has gone terribly awry, as something has been killing the loggers. Refusing to go back to work, they claim to have seen a huge black creature made of vines that tore their coworkers to shreds in front of their very eyes.
