Darklord of Fallaya Basin. The "Swamp Shambler" is the nickname given to the mythical monster that lives in the swamp and kills the unlucky. It is the name adopted by the land of Fallaya Basin when it takes a physical form, for in The Basin the very ground beneath your feet may be the enemy.
Background
After the foetid marsh of Fallaya Basin claimed an innocent traveler the very ground was cursed by his family. The land was never to know happiness, only despair, to never be a home, only an empty place. No longer heartless nature, the land now knew what it had done, now knew the suffering it had caused. And it did not care.
Current Sketch
The Swamp Shambler is truly tragic. With its wandering nature as the personification of the Basin itself, it is simple. And wrathful. Many within the Basin seek ways to control the Shambler for their own purposes, but all their plans only lead to ruin, as no man can control the full brunt of nature.
Curse
Wants civilization: art, culture, music. But trapped in a land where the only people are simple, crude folk.
Combat
When the swamp takes a humanoid form it appears as a shambling mound.
