The Ancient Marsh-dweller is a creature enemy created by Fantasy Flight Games for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game. It is encountered in The Nîn-in-Eilph adventure pack.
Biography[]
Ancient Marsh-dweller is an unknown creature that dwells in the marshlands of the Swanfleet. Its origin might be similar to that of The Watcher, as The Silmarillion specifies that all of Morgoth's servants loathed and shunned the water.
Its body is very massive and its tentacles are very deadly to adventurers passing through the marshes of the Swanfleet.
Strategy[]
Caution must be taken when fighting the Marsh-dweller, as it will get stronger the longer it is fought. The best way to defend it is to either use characters with 4 or more defense to defend or sacrifice a weaker ally. To defeat it, it is best to use either many 2-3 attack strength characters or with a few high attack characters. Though it is immune to player attachments, it can still be damaged by special abilities and player event cards.
