“It's dripping all over.”

–Maxwell

The Marsh, commonly referred to as the Swamp, is one of the Biomes in the game and the place where Marsh Turfs are abundant.

The Marsh is considered the most dangerous and inhospitable of all Biomes for its native Tentacles, which attack without provocation, and Merms which, while only hostile at close proximity, present a danger when camping in or near Marsh areas. Spider Dens appear frequently in the Marsh, which normally leads to confrontation with other Mobs. As a result, players can take away lots of loot after their wars end. This can also make it possible for a player to camp in a Marsh if they are prepared and brave enough, though it's not easy: see the Marsh Camp Guide for more tips on how a player can survive this harsh Biome. However Wurt can safely settle in the Marsh without having to worry.

It is recommended to keep moving and stay on the roads to avoid being attacked by the Marsh's hostile inhabitants. Tentacles cannot spawn on roads, which makes them useful when moving around. A player can find Reeds randomly scattered across the area, which can also rarely spawn outside of the Marsh Biome.

Marshes are also the only biome where Tentacles, Spiky Trees, and Spiky Bushes exist in the base game. In the Reign of Giants DLC, Spiky Trees and Spiky Bushes can also be found in the Desert Biome. Mermhouses also appear in marshes. While they can also be found outside of a marsh, this is very rare.
