Bayou

Bayou is the eleventh map introduced to Gorilla Tag on September 20, 2024. It was previously teased through a closed manhole earlier in the month that currently serves as the access point to the map.
== Appearance ==
Bayou is defined as "a slow-moving creek or a swampy section of a river or a lake." that is heavily wooded. Bayou has a dark-gloomy setting with a low level of dense green fog, loose vines hanging from dead trees, aged stone structures like pillars and gravestones, with a large haunted house placed in the centre of the swamp. 
== Ecosystem ==
Bayou has a beacon bug that flies around the swamp, occasionally bumping off surfaces, and can be picked up by a player, only to be later dropped or thrown.
== Trivia ==
* Bayou was likely inspired by the Swamp, a rotating map used from late-January to mid-February earlier in the year. This inference can be made when comparing aspects of both maps, including but not limited to objects and mechanics. 
* Bayou is one of the biggest maps in Gorilla Tag.
