| abstract | - Living underneath a MegaCorp outpost in a large cavern, this creature was the Mother Beast known to lay the eggs that hatched the Mutant Swamp Beasts. Before Ratchet confronted and defeated it, apparently nobody had seen this mysterious creature and lived; however, Qwark had apparently had a run in with one after his arrival in the Bogon Galaxy and been eaten alive by it. Qwark survived this encounter and escaped, going on to masquerade as Abercrombie Fizzwidget. It was hidden until confronted by exploring Lombax, Ratchet. Running over the many lily pads around its lair, Ratchet dodged the Swamp Monster as it tried to kill him. It swam through the muck trying to strike Ratchet with its tentacles and claws, pinching its claws wildly, coughing up flying balls of smoky sludge, and chomping down on the Lombax, taking him inside its mouth briefly. After dealing a sufficient amount of damage to the beast, Ratchet killed it and caused it to sink into the muck. With its death, he also obtained the Box Breaker. In one of the parts of Behind the Hero, the Swamp Monster II can be seen eating Qwark alive (although it is unknown whether this actually happened to Qwark). Upon regaining his memory aboard the Starship Phoenix in Up Your Arsenal, Qwark recalled being eaten alive by the monster.
