Swamp Thing
Marsh-dwelling plant monster
Swamp Thing is a DC Comics character—a humanoid plant creature formed when a scientist dies in a Louisiana swamp and merges with the vegetation.
The character explores themes of ecology, identity, and monstrosity.
By extension, swamp thing can describe anyone or anything emerging from murky, overgrown places, or someone unkempt and disheveled: I looked like a swamp thing after the hike.
