The monster had lived in that swamp for hundreds of years, though it had no sense of time, as it only knew it existed when it was summoned to fight. Waking up to a new battle was always a fright for him, he didn't know how to deal with his bipedal form, and the way he breathed when he was summoned made him surprised, uneasy, but, at the same time, satisfied; it was a fascinating experience to live like that, without being the Whole.

While living in the form of a swamp, the monster felt everything and everyone that passed through it, but without being aware that it was something, that it was life. Every time that wizards came asking for his help using their spells that took away his choice to remain the way he was, he realized that he was a Being, that he was almost an animal, almost a human.

But everything that happened for him to live this experience of being almost a person was just a game of interest; the monster has been used thousands of times to protect the interests of others, not only those who wield magic but the leaders of those, kings… Gods.

One day, a powerful mage named Kron, came to the swamp and proclaimed the magic words under the main tree, to summon the monster again.

It hadn't been the first time he'd turned to forces of nature to accomplish his goals; the monster had helped him dozens of times in wars. But that day, the swamp was different, it was as gray as the sky itself on rainy days, and the fog covered almost everything. After he had uttered the magic words, a thunderous silence settled, and under the great tree, in his front, a small bright flower grew and then withered completely. At that moment, Kron knew that the monster had died and that the swamp would disappear forever.

Somewhere, miles away from the dead swamp, a volcano was spewing smoke and a lot of lava had been over 100 years ago, but on that unusual day, it released a green goo, which appeared to be some kind of living mud. People who passed by the place said that this mud had bones inside it that seemed to be part of the body itself. Also, these people could have sworn that the volcano monster had a swamp smell.

Yes, my Splinterlands Iceberg is that the Creeping Ooze is the Swam Thing reborn! Tell me what you think of this crazy theory.
