A '''Swamp snake''' is an aggressive monster encountered during the [[Temple Trekking|Temple Trekking and Burgh de Rott]] activities. When killed, a snake usually leaves behind a '''Dead swamp snake''' as its [[Remains]]. If the player's follower in the activity becomes involved in combat with a swamp snake, the snake may drop regular [[Bones]] instead, even if the player kills the snake.

By using a [[knife]] on a dead swamp snake, the player can obtain 2-5 swamp [[Snake hide (swamp)|snake hides]]. These hides differ in colouring from the [[Snake hide]]s obtained from [[Bush snake]]s but like bush snake hides can be tanned to make [[Snakeskin]], used for [[Snakeskin armour]].

They hit fairly hard, so [[Protect from Melee]] or [[Deflect melee]] is recommended. Do not [[safespot]] these when your follower is exposed, as they could kill hard and medium followers in a few round of hits.

They don't easily switch targets, even if you attack it, and will often need to be killed as fast as possible if one targets a weak follower, otherwise it will make your follower use a lot of food or potentially force the follower to flee.

==Trivia==
*Swamp snakes have some inaccurate features real [[Wikipedia:Snake|snakes]] do not have. For example, swamp snakes move with their head held up, whereas real snakes move with their head on the ground and only raise their heads when threatening attackers.
*Swamp snakes are brown while the snake hides are greenish with yellow spots.
