A Monster in the Swamp

Among the people and the explorers, there may not always be creatures that a man knows. From a distance, one could identify them as human. When you look closer, it is clear that they are not. These things reside everywhere, especially in the swamp. Palude has not been given the capabilities of identifying these creatures, just as any other person would not be able to. He has to get a close look to make sure it is not human, and yet, a look too close will cost him his life.
