Hydra Head Swamp
The Hydra Head Swamp is located along the Hydra Head River. The swamp is a waterlogged wetland that is home to amphibious creatures like toads as well as snakes, insects, and monsters of many varieties. Most notably are the primitive Bullywugs who dwell within the swamp. Rumours told of these toad-people say that they are more intelligent and organised than they first appear although not many who have ventured into the swamp come out again, so there isn't a lot of information to go on. The Hydra Head Swamp is named for its location along the Hydra Head River, although the swamp is a well known Hydra breeding ground also. In addition to the monsters that inhabit the swamp, it is also where one can find interesting varieties of flora and fungi that only grow in the conditions here, wealthy alchemists often put out bounties in nearby Kaldoran asking adventurers to search the swamp for exotic ingredients.
Geography
The region of the swamp is flat and densely packed with the various types of trees that are able to grow there. The land consists of patches of wet mud that are just above water level and the rest is at least ankle deep below. The regions of the swamp that are closer to the river are wetter and harder to traverse than those on the periphery of the area. Natives have learned to walk on the tree roots beneath the surface of the water rather than the actual ground to stay upright and avoid falling into the algae packed waters.
