The light doesn't pierce the heavy overhanging trees in this near pitch black area of the swamp.  The water is extremely murky and there are occasional fins poking up from the water belonging to some kind of creature.  The air is thick and heavy and insects constantly buzz about.

creature
electric eel
I am an eel. I swim around in the king's moat. I was brought here from far away by a foreign diplomat, and I have lived here for many years scaring away unruly citizens.
Do you protect the king's castle as well? Yes I try my best  How long have you been here? I have been here all my life  I've only been here a few years, but I like it.  Yea, it's very peaceful here.  Have you seen anything exciting lately? The other day a man was being chased or something and fell right into the water. I got him so good that he actually screamed for his mother! Hahaha. I dont get to see all that. I sleep through most of the day
