	==Swamp:4 ~~Variations~~==		==Swamp:4 vaults==
	The decaying rune of Zot is in a monster-filled vault on Swamp:4. While it's always a good idea to clear the rest of the floor first, the exact nature and difficulty of this vault varies each game.		The decaying rune of Zot is in a monster-filled [[vault]] on Swamp:4. While it's always a good idea to clear the rest of the floor first, the exact nature and difficulty of this vault varies each game.

	~~==="~~Swamp~~"===~~		*'''Swamp:''' The classic "swamp" vault is an ovoid vault heavily defended by hydras, swamp dragons and swamp drakes. While otherwise unremarkable, the sheer number of foes you'll face upon reaching the vault can easily prove overwhelming. Keep the path back to the [[stairs]] clear, just in case.

	~~===~~"~~Swamp_Alternative~~"~~===~~		*'''Swamp alternative:''' "swamp_alternative" bisects the original "swamp" vault with a [[lava]] pool, and adds a few fiery monsters ([[lindwurm]]s, [[fire dragon]]s) to the mix.
	~~Introduced in~~ [[~~0.1~~]], ~~"swamp_alternative"~~ adds ~~one or two~~ [[~~fire drake~~]]s ~~to the mix~~, ~~and bisects the vault with a~~ [[~~lava~~]] ~~pool. Because hydras have no ranged attacks and cannot fly, you can use the lava~~ to ~~divide~~ the ~~defenders and kill them from afar. This is probably the easiest Swamp ending~~.

	~~==="Swamp_Fiery"===~~		*'''Old school:''' This vault resembles pre-[[0.5]] Swamp layout and contains the usual mix of swamp dragons, drakes, and hydras. What sets this vault apart is [[the Lernaean hydra]] hiding in one of its niches.
	~~Introduced in~~ [[0.6]]~~, "swamp_fiery" is full~~ of ~~[[dragon]]s~~, ~~[[mottled dragon]]s, fire~~ drakes, hydras~~, [[steam dragon]]s, and [[lindwurm]]s~~. ~~Flame~~ [[~~cloud~~]]~~s occur here naturally. [[Fire resistance]] obviously helps~~.

	~~===~~"~~Swamp_Icy"===~~		*'''Fiery:''' "swamp_fiery" is full of [[dragon]]s and other fiery monsters. Flame [[cloud]]s occur here naturally. [[Fire resistance]] obviously helps.
	~~Introduced in 0.6, "swamp_icy~~" is full of [[~~simulacrum\|simulacra]], [[azure jellies]], and 2-3 [[ice~~ dragon]]s~~. The simulacra make this the most dangerous Swamp ending, as they get a large HD-based cold damage bonus to their attacks. Hydra simulacra are particularly deadly; treat them with extreme caution~~ and ~~kill them from afar. If you are a spellcaster then [[Fire Magic]] or [[Dispel Undead]] works wonders~~. ~~The rune room will generate freezing~~ [[cloud]]s ~~constantly, so~~ [[~~cold~~ resistance]] ~~is a must; [[Ice Form]] is great here~~.

	~~===~~"~~Swamp_Pestilence"===~~		*'''Icy:'' "swamp_icy" is full of [[simulacrum\|simulacra]] and other frozen monsters ([[freezing wraith]]s, [[azure jelly]]). [[Hydra]] simulacra can really pack a punch. Freezing clouds block this time.
	~~Introduced in [[0.5]], "swamp_pestilence~~" is full of [[~~zombie]]s, [[spectral~~]] ~~swamp dragons~~ and ~~hydras,~~ [[~~phantom~~]]s, ~~and a~~ [[~~bone dragon~~]]. ~~Clouds of~~ [[~~miasma~~]] ~~occur here naturally~~. ~~The dragon is quite dangerous, and the miasma~~ clouds will [[rot]] and [[slow]] you. Finally, the vault may contain an [[oklob plant]] placed to greet players as they stagger out of the miasma. Dispel Undead can cut through everything but the oklob, but try to get in and out as quickly as possible.

	~~===~~"~~Swamp_Old_School~~"~~===~~		*'''Pestilence:''' "swamp_pestilence" is guarded by [[zombie]]s, [[spectral thing]]s, and other undead. This time, [[miasma]] clouds block the way.
	~~Introduced in 0.6~~, ~~"swamp_old_school" resembles the old (0.5 and older) Swamp layouts and contains the usual mix of swamp dragons, drakes~~, and ~~hydras~~. ~~What sets this vault apart is~~ [[~~the Lernaean hydra~~]] ~~hiding in one of its niches~~.

	~~==="Swamp_Vile"===~~		*'''Vile:''' "swamp_vile" is an abandoned, flooded temple, occupied by demons and beasts. It contains demonic monsters, including [[large abomination]]s, [[green death]]s, [[death ooze]]s, [[hell beast]]s or even a [[tentacled monstrosity]].
	~~Introduced in 0.10,~~ "swamp_vile" is an abandoned, flooded temple, occupied by demons and beasts. It ~~may contain unusual~~ monsters ~~like~~ [[large abomination]]s, [[green death]]s, [[death ooze]]s, [[hell beast]]s or even a [[tentacled monstrosity]].

	~~==="grunt_swamp_rune_castle"===~~		*'''Castle:''' "grunt_swamp_rune_castle" is a square-shaped vault with inner 4 rooms - one will contain the Lernaean hydra.
	~~Introduced in 0.12,~~ "grunt_swamp_rune_castle" is a square-shaped vault with ~~four~~ inner rooms. One ~~of them~~ contains [[~~the~~ Lernaean hydra]].
			*'''Basic:''' "swamp_basic_johnstein" has a small chamber leading to 3 separate inlets. Has a small chance of containing the Lernaean hydra.

			*'''Death and Undeath:''' A hallway leading to two separate rooms. One contains life, including [[thorn hunter]]s and [[shambling mangrove]]s. The other features death, including a [[zombie\|zombified]] 27-headed Lernaean hydra.

			*'''Witches Coven:''' A pentagram circumscribed into a circle. Features [[fenstrider witch]]es, other magic creatures, and a few demons (including [[blizzard demon]]s and [[green death]]s).
