Rapid amphibious sprinters of the solar eclipse
Emerging from dark waters during the Solar Eclipse, the Swamp Thing is an agile melee pursuer that terrorizes surface outposts. Boasting 450 health and 26 defense, this dripping monster sprints at alarming velocity toward players, striking for 70 contact damage in Classic, 140 in Expert, and 210 in Master mode.
Halting high-speed charges with airborne defenses
Unlike slower eclipse zombies, the Swamp Thing's exceptional sprint speed allows it to close gaps before players can line up slow-firing weapons. Building elevated platform arenas prevents it from reaching players easily, as it lacks climbing agility. Defeating this damp monstrosity offers a 0.22% chance to claim the decorative Buddies painting.
Trivia
- The Swamp Thing is inspired by classic swamp monster comic books and cinematic horror creatures.
- Its running speed makes it one of the fastest unmounted ground enemies in the Solar Eclipse.
