Version: 0.1.0-pre-alpha

Most of the time all you see is a head and a few leaves poking out of the mud, easy to take for a plant. Come within a few blocks and the Swamp Dweller heaves itself up with a deep, wet call. It belongs to the spirits: it hunts players and hostile mobs, but never spirits or peaceful animals.

It fights with whatever the swamp gives it. It sinks into the mud and resurfaces behind or beside you, and a bubbling sound is your only warning. It throws clumps of mud that smear your view, makes roots grasp at the spot you stand on and breathes out a slowing fog. Stay off connected mud if you can, keep moving, and wash the mud off your face in water. During a Spirit Storm it recovers its powers faster.
