* ''TabletopGame/{{Banestorm}}'': The Acid Swamps of Solfor first appeared in an earlier treatment of Yrth, this book's setting. They lie in the southern [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Orclands]] and are, as the name hints, dangerously acidic; they are also infested with acid-resistant monsters called "caustiguses". In other words, they are a bad place to visit.

* ComicBook/SwampThing and ComicBook/ManThing were both "born" in swamps, as was their [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] inspiration, ComicBook/TheHeap. None of them were [[DarkIsNotEvil evil]], per se, but they all definitely lean into [[HorrifyingHero the frightening elements]] of the swamp. Alan Moore's run on ''ComicBook/SwampThing'' averted this a bit, as while the swamp was mysterious and sometimes dangerous, evil tended to ''intrude'' upon the "clean earth" that was the titular character's place of power.

* The pre-[[UsefulNotes/ComicsCode Code]] horror comic ''This Magazine is Haunted'' featured a story called "The Slithering Horror of Skontong Swamp", where a [[GreatEscape prison escapee]] must pass through a swamp haunted by mysterious and horrific monsters. Even after he gets out of the swamp and falls in with a few of his old partners in crime, he can't shake the feeling that the things are [[ImplacableMan still hunting him]]. He eventually [[spoiler: surrenders to the law to escape the monsters, only to learn that the things are the undead remnants of everyone [[HighVoltageDeath given the chair]] at the prison -- and now [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie he's one of them.]]]]

* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}:'' The Toxic Sludge Swamps of Cybertron, generally a hostile and unpleasant part of it by default. In his backstory, Snaptrap of the Seacons got his name by killing an entire regiment of Autobots there, and in another continuity, it's home to a MadScientist who's been doing his part to, ah... "improve" local biodiversity by unleashing his experiments on it.
