Oh, it's the
swamp. Rumor has it that this swamp is
teeming with fish, much more so than any ol' Underwater Fishing Hole.
They say you can just dip your net in and pull out atleast three fish.
It's too bad the smell of the place is close to unbearable. But, your budget calls for cheap and easy food and your pets are getting tired of being fed omelettes everyday. Besides, fish are rich in protein and other vitemins.
You hold your breath as you sweep the water with your net off the side of your small boat to catch some of the fish. When you pull it back out, murkey green water pours out through the nets holes and you can see the shape of some sort of creature, but what is it? It doesn't look very fish-like.
The water escapes the net within a matter of seconds and you're able to see your catch, but to your dismay, it is not a fish, but a... a tadpole? No, a
baby nimmo. And she doesn't seem to be too happy.
You should let her out.
You gently shake the little nimmo from your net back into the water.
But before you have time to try to actually catch a fish with the net, the little nemo pokes her head out of the water and stares up at you.
Why did you let me go?
You stare back at the nimmo, puzzled at her strange question.
You're not a fish, I have no reason to keep you...
The nimmo tilts its head and blinks.
But I thought all you two-leggy things keep what you catch. All the other ones do.
Hm.. but I'm only here to catch some fish.. you know, for food? Hehe, I'm pretty sure no one would think of me the same if I were to bring home a baby nimmo for dinner.
That's what they all say, but even if they catch other things, they keep it.
Other things..?
The baby nimmo swifly swims around in a small circle.
Yeah! There are lots of other things in the swamp!
It sounds important to know about these 'other things' so...
you decide to ask the nimmo about them.
The Swamp
The swamp is my home, but it's not only MY home, lots of other baby nimmos live here too! And lots of fish.. and frogs.. and bugs..
Other baby nimmos, huh? I should probably learn your name then. But first, my name is guest.
My name is.. Bozidara...
Bozidara smiles shyly.
This swamp is actually very scary. If you're not careful, you could be eaten in a second by a big fish or even a crocalu!
Bozidara tells you about the swamp, using body gestures to emphasize certain points. you soon learn that this swamp is actually a part of the Haunted Woods and that it's stretched out of a Few miles of marshy land. Bozidara's even kind enough to tell you exactly what lives in the swamp.
However, she never told you anything about herself. It's always nice to know a little bit about your tour guide.
Hold on Bozidara, what about you?
What.. what about me?
You haven't told me anything about yourself, only about the er, swamp.
Oh uhm.. okay...
Bozidara begins to tell you about herself.

Story
So Bozi, if you don't mind me calling you that.. you said a few minutes ago that there are other baby nimmos in the swamp. Are they your brothers and sisters?
Um, well, you could probably say that. Nimmos aren't like other pets, we don't normally stay with our mums or dads...
Nimmos are anfib... afib... amphibians so our mums and dads leave our eggies in the water so when we hatch we can breathe the water.
All the eggs hatch at diff'rent times so I didn't know who is my brother or my sister and who isn't.
I remember I was one of the ones who hatched late because I didn't see many other eggs around me. I was so small that I could've been a snack for anything else in the pond. Almost everyday, something would always chase me around until I hid in the rocks.
But I'm bigger now so not as many things chase me around.. still, some do though.. like crocalus.
Sometimes, I would meet other baby nimmos (who were bigger than me) and we'd play games like hide and seek and tag. One of them, one of the bigger ones, told me the world we live in was a fish eat fish world. He didn't eat small fish, we all ate moss and seaweed. But because of that nimmo, I learned that if you can't swim away fast enough, you're gonna be someone's lunch!
Wow that's.. pretty harsh.. o_o
It's what I've grown up around, you'd be the same way too! That's why I thought you were gonna keep me, but you didn't..
So do you have any friends?
Bozidara nods vigorously.
Petpet
Name: Al
Gender: Male
Special Traits: My best friend
Living in a swamp gets pretty lonely, so I made friends with a slugawoo and a moquot who tries to swim. I call him Al because it looks like he has a bunch of algae stuff to the top of his head. Al can't talk, but we're close enough so I know what he's thinking.
I have some other friends too...

It's good to know you have friends in such a dangerous place like this!
Heehee! There are some others too that come to visit me.
Bozidara proceeds to tell you about them.
Kegawa
She was the very first one to catch me.. then let me go...
Camiot
She lives in water just like me, only she lives in the ocean and is a ghost! Eek!
Tibbun
Tibbun doesn't come around here too often 'cause there are fishies that might try to eat him...
Tomello
I don't really know him, but I do know that he makes really yummy chocolate!
Moving on...
Good-bye
