Swamp Creature (Disney Infinity)

## Hostile Species

The **Swamp Creature**, (Or **Swamp Creatures**), are minor antagonists and deuteragonists in the action-adventure sandbox video game *Disney Infinity 3.0*.

The Swamp Creature makes various appearances in the "play-set" themed around *Pixar's Inside Out* movie. Acting as one of the minigame's main antagonists and encounterable enemies (Right next to the **Evil Broccoli**). During the events of the Play Set, they are spawned by the Imaginary Boyfriend Generator after Riley watches a horror movie in which The Swamp Creature was loosely based around, later, along with the Evil Broccoli, they cause mayhem and mischief around in Riley's mind forcing her emotions to lay waste to all and each of them. They are eventually defeated in the "Jangles All The Way" boss battle. It's implied they've killed, and possibly eaten, other workers of Riley's mind as well as innocent bystanders.

## Personality:

The Swamp Creature is a rather interesting being, while still being a violent animal, it does show various traits of a human-like mind. It tends to taunt and aggravate on when fighting against heroes or other enemies, usually showing it's comedic amount of patience when fighting. It also tends to do it in a more playful/childish manner, though it's presumed it does this on purpose, why it does this is unknown. It's also shown loving terrorizing or scaring people for the sake of it's own enjoyment as it easily scares those who fear it, though it's also not afraid to throw down punches and enter into a brawl with another hero or enemy if needed as it easily catches onto if something want's to fight it. It also appears to be a very skilled hunter and assassin, vey easily noticing prey from across the map while also having enhanced peak persistence, not giving up once it see's an enemy and usually only giving up if it's slaughter the enemy. Why and where it has gotten this amount of hunting/assassin skill is unknown. They also appear to be thrill seeking creatures, even when wandering idle they appear to adore and admire the scenery around them, giving more of a curiously evil nature to them.

## Appearance:

The Swamp Creature is a tall, lanky, slimy, muscular, and overall vicious foe. Having scaly, dark green-dark blue skin, a yellow stained sharp set of teeth, two big beady yellow coloured eyes, two antenna-like appendences on the top of it's head, four claw-like fingers on each hand, a fur-like chest, and the creature even sports an air tank of some sorts, which even shows cracks and breaks when damaged. It's also extremely agile and persistence, having very enhanced endurance to always keep up with whoever it finds a threat. They also appear as a master combatant prowess, using their own skilled abilities via their body features to their own advantages.

## In-Game Occupation:

The Swamp Creature first makes it's appearance in the beginning of the play-set minigame from Riley's point of view, "jumpscaring" the viewers from the original movie she was watching, while charging at her TV screen. From this, Riley begins to fall asleep and thus have nightmares about said-Swamp Creature. Not only scaring Riley's emotions, The Swamp Creature scares Riley horribly letting her imagination run wild, accidentally from all this, they get re-created in Riley's mind from the Imaginary Boyfriend Generator.

It's first seen in the mission "Ahead In The Clouds" as an optional NPC enemy the player could face. Later along the level, it eventually can get in the way of the player forcing them to kill them. All the way through "A Sound Mind" - "Topsy Turvy Trip" they are encountered and make attempts at kill the player, all while causing chaos. It's unknown how or when, though it's shown and later implied that The Swamp Creatures teamed up with the infamous Evil Broccoli, as they all cause visible chaos in Riley's mind. While the Evil Broccoli are defeated much earlier, The Swamp Creatures are not defeated until that of the final boss level "Jangles All The Way" while also teaming up with Jangles The Clown. After the player defeats multiple Swamp Creatures and later Jangles, they are earned the final ending and cutscene for the game. It's presumed all of the Evil Broccoli and Swamp Creatures either fled out of Riley's mind or were all killed in the end of the game.

The Swamp Creatures can be unlocked for sandbox use when earned the feat "Progressing Nicely", after the two thirds of the game are complete. The level the player must get to, to unlock them is via completing all the "A Sound Mind" levels, thus unlocking the feat.

## Trivia:

* Regardless of whether it's obvious or not, The Swamp Creature is loosely based off of The Creature From The Black Lagoon, and had various concept designs that were incredibly similar to the original counterpart. It's implied The Swamp Creature is much more evil and chaotically strategic.

* The Swamp Creature is noted as a fan favourite enemy, and as well is regarded as one of the more incredibly hard NPC enemies to unlock in the *Disney Infinity* franchise.

* The Swamp Creature, like many other *3.0* enemies, are only exclusive to *Disney Infinity 3.0* and can only be used in the third installment of the game series.
