At night there are large purple puddles of a poisonous substance that when stepped in, poisons your hunter - so take care and maybe bring a few Antidotes. The rain during the day can be used to the advantage of hunters with lightning rods, which bring down a powerful lightning strike on creatures. The rain also floods out the purple ooze, making the swamp safer in the storms.

There are also a few handy mining spots situated in the underground caves which are very useful if you are 'ore hunting'.
