User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Swamps/@comment-5043481-20120715142735

I think that swamps have a lot of unused potential - further down there was an an anon with a brilliant idea for a brackish marsh area who should clearly be empoyed by CAPCOM.

That aside, the old swamp was by far the best - nice caves and good variety of areas. In the Old Swamp you has boggy areas, foggy areas, and a wheaty area (admitidly random but why not if it adds variety). The fog is nice, but a bit weird sometimes. For example, when fighting Narga in the Old Swamp the tail spikes show through the fog no matter what the distance. It is far supurior to the Swamp, which was just boring with a dippressingly square map layout. The caves are awful too. And tose poison puddles, nothing but annoying. The base camp was quit good though.

I dont think the flooded forest is really a swamp at all. It does not even come close to mangrove swamp. That aside it is a good area.

I think Narga is best is the Old Swamp, It just fits. My favorite monster for the Swamp I am going to be radical and say Teostra (Ye Gods! The fire dragon in a Wet Zone!) because he just looks cool here.
