A swamp is a special room with a checkered pattern of pools containing sea monsters. Various fungi are generated on some of the land spaces.

Generation

Swamp rooms occur together: up to 5 rooms on a level may be swamps.

This room has been known to very rarely appear between Medusa's level and the Castle.

Messages

You hear mosquitoes!
You smell marsh gas!
There is a swamp on the level.
You hear Donald Duck!
There is a swamp on the level, and you are hallucinating.
It looks rather muddy down here.
You are entering a swamp.
It feels rather humid down here.
You are entering, and you are blind.

Strategy

You can easily guess the presence of hidden doors in swamps, because of the absence of water pools near the door. Very small swamp rooms can generate just one water pool, easily mistaken for a fountain, so be careful.

The sea monsters and risk of wetting your inventory make swamps unappealing to traverse. Additionally, unlike other special rooms, swamps don't have much interesting loot.
