Swamp Spirit (Character)

The Swamp Spirit is a character from the story series Morytania. He is spirit that dwells in Mort Myre after he died there.

Character history
The Swamp Spirit was once a traveller, who had wandered across Gielinor, but one day his travels brought him to Morytania. When walking through the swamp, the ghasts decayed his food and the swamp decay took its toll on him. He was also very weak from starvation at the time of death. Due to Morytania's unusual effect, the Swamp Spirit was resurrected, and remained trapped in the swamp, which is where he got his name from.

One day he met the Wanderer who became his friend and kept him company. The Wanderer began to wander out of Burgh de Rott in early morning and light night which brought suspicion. Soon, Dirth and Edward insisted on accompanying the Wanderer on his journey into the swamp, where they then met the Swamp Spirit ("Swamp Spirit").

When the cursed dark magic book entitled Operation Necrosis was unearthed in Burgh de Rott, its power took over Morytania temporarily. During this time everyone (sans Dirth, the Wanderer and the Swamp Spirit as well as various others) became possessed. The Swamp Spirit carried Dirth and the Wanderer away from Burgh de Rott, but he was grabbed by a claw of dark magic and turned red, with him too possessed, but he recovers afterwards as does everyone else ("Operation Necrosis").

Personality
The Swamp Spirit appears to be very peaceful and content for much of the time ("Swamp Spirit"), but he can also be shown as a brave and determined fighter ("Operation Necrosis").
