Swamp maw

Appearance: It is unknown what creature lurks beneath the murky waters of the swamp but the signs of its presence are. To the observant eye one can see occasional bubbles on the service as it slowly exhales, to those that don't the first signs will be the whirlpool that forms around them. They'll have seconds to react or be swallowed up from the waist down.
