* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Whilst waking the Marsh Monster was a legitimate accident, there's also the little issue that Papa Smurf has a scroll with a magic spell on it that can ''pacify'' the Marsh Monster should it be awoken, giving the smurfs a chance to relight its foxfire. Had Papa Smurf told Scaredy about this and given him the scroll at the start, Scaredy could have passed it on to Pushover and Pushover could have put the Marsh Monster to sleep a minute after it woke up.

favors, and is likewise booted offscreen onto his head when he annoys a smurf during the Firefly Festival.
* HumanoidAbomination: The Marsh Monster. It looks like a hat-less WizardClassic [[HornedHumanoid with deer antlers]] wearing a robe heavy with mud, moss and muck. Normally it sleeps peacefully at the bottom of a specific pool in the Great Swamp, distinguished by foxfire burning on its waters. However, if the foxfire is extinguished, it rises from the pond in a rage and chases after whoever extinguished the flame, determined to wreak vengeance. However, if the foxfire is relit on its pool, it returns peacefully to its slumber.
* MadnessMantra: The Marsh Monster only speaks a single refrain: ''Cursed he who steals the flame! Cursed he who gives me pain!''
* PoorCommunicationKills: It's imperative that a smurf ''not'' extinguish the foxfire from the Great Swamp, or else it will rouse a vengeful Marsh Monster, who will pursue his tormentor until the foxfire is relit. Papa Smurf fails to mention either of these facts to Scaredy or Pushover until ''after'' they wake the creature, which he lampshades by noting he should have given them a clearer warning.
