History

The Swamp in the Comics.

The Swamp of Secrets was created as a result of the Great Cataclysm. When Voya Nui broke off the Southern Continent, it created a hole in Karda Nui's dome and the Southern Continent's dome. As a result, large quantities of sea water containing Pit Mutagen fell through the holes, creating a waterfall and flooding the core, thus turning the floor of it into a giant swamp. The Av-Matoran living in Karda Nui harvested Lightvines and other plant materials in the swamp to use in the construction of their Stalactite Villages.

When the Brotherhood of Makuta invaded Karda Nui, three of the Makuta went down to the swamp. Once the Mistika Makuta landed in the waters, they were mutated by the mutagen and locked in their insect-like forms. They then set up a camp base which became their headquarters.

When the Toa Nuva arrived, Tahu, Gali, and Onua traveled down to the swamp to acquire the Ignika, not knowing that it has created a body of its own and joined the other Toa in the sky. After a series of small battles, the Phantoka arrived in the swamp, allied with their partners, and the Toa Nuva and Makuta launched a final battle.

During the awakening of the Great Spirit Mata Nui, the swamp was incinerated by the Energy Storms.

Energy that was present in the waters of the swamp caused it to emit light and heat to Karda Nui. When the waterfall was still active, the waters shaped the Stalactite Villages above and rocks occasionally broke off and fell into the swamp. The swamp was surrounded by mist and fog. The water of the swamp was hot, and, in some areas, boiling due to the energies of Karda Nui. Other areas in the swamp glowed as a result of exposure to this same energy.

Inhabitants

Rahi

The swamp was a habitat for several Rahi. The species and origin of these Rahi are unspecified, though most originated from the Southern Continent, having fallen through the hole in Karda Nui's dome.

Bacteria
