Swamp

"Mudhole? Slimy? My home this is!"

- Yoda

A swamp is an icky place filled with muck, mud, water and vegetation. It is a perfect habitat for alligators, insects and whatever freakish swamp monster might come crawling up out of the woodwork... like Swamp Thing!. If you wanna get a good idea of what swamp life is like, take a ride down to good ole Houma in Louisiana. You can also find some sweat-have swamplands just outside of New Orleans over in "Cajun Country".

On the Super Friends cartoon series, the super-villain group known as the Legion of Doom used the swamp aa their base of operations. This is where they concealed their flying headquarters, the Hall of Doom, which they would submerge beneath the murky waters, and rise whenever they were active. Strangely enough, there was always this one single alligator, who would come along to check out what the Legion were doing. The one member of the team who likely approved of this chosen locale was Solomon Grundy, who was once human, was killed in the swamp, and then resurrected as a reanimated swamp monster.

In the Tales from the Crypt episode "Staired in Horror", a criminal named Clyde flees from Sheriff's men in the Louisiana bayou until he reaches a dilapidated plantation house.

Not all swamps are exclusive to the planet Earth. Other worlds produce swamps as well, even in a galaxy far, far, away. The planet known as Dagobah, which is where retired Jedi Master Yoda spent the last of years of his life, was largely swamp land. Yoda had grown to like it however, and took offense when Luke Skywalker referred to as a "slimy mudhole".
