Abstract
The wetlands of the distant planet Palude, encompass almost sixty percent of the
planet's environment and host most of the planet's wildlife in the Ecosystems. The
excessive amount of rivers flood these lands, spawning ponds and shallow bodies of
water, as vegetation fills the estate like trees, moss, and duckweeds. Including fictional
vegetation with more fascinating attributes like Nuotatore, a long kelp orange seaweed
that has toxic effects. The purpose of these swamps is to absorb excess waters that
prevent flooding and to clean wastes; purifying water naturally similar to the Swamps on
earth. They're typically depicted as hostile perilous locations to many people particularly
within the world of fiction. Despite the great value swamps provide to the real world,
movies, video games, literature, and the folklore of old, swamps are often regarded as
cursed, haunted locations full of monsters, portrayed as godforsaken places that no
person enters willingly only by necessity. The concept drove my work to continue the
suspenseful superstitions of these types of bogs, a fictional world lurking with monsters
and some semblance of a story.
