Marsh

Easily the wettest place in the Arena, this marsh manages to act as an unhappy medium between several of the other terrain types. Almost as humid as the jungles, nearly as hot as the shrubland, and with all the potential shelter of the North Desert, this place quickly wreaks havoc on a tribute's body. As if that wasn't unpleasant enough, all manner of nasty bugs breed here, positioned perfectly to attack bare skin at every turn. At least there's water- but drinking it without purification should be seen as a last resort, for it's so murky that only the hardiest creatures swim in it and the plants that it feeds look sickly and miserable even in comparison to the northern parts of the Grassland.
