Hatred (Ex) Swamp brownies receive a +1 bonus on attack rolls against humanoid creatures of the boggard and reptilian subtypes due to special training against these hated foes.
Hold Breath (Ex) A swamp brownie can hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to four times its Constitution score before it risks drowning or suffocating.
Swamp Stride (Ex) A swamp brownie can move through any sort of natural difficult terrain at its normal speed while within a swamp. Magically altered terrain affects the brownie normally.


Cousins of the brownies that live in forests, swamp brownies are adapted to swamp living. They can swim, hold their breath for long periods of time, and can blend in with swamp vegetation, on account of their natural camouflage, namely lotus blossoms in place of hair. They also have a mystical connect with the plants of the swamp, allowing them to conjure lily pads under their feet when they wish to walk across the surface of a bog.

Swamp brownies have a long-standing rivalry with boggards and lizardfolk, and train hard to defeat these two ancestral foes. In the case of lizardfolk, the rivalry exists for practical reasons; both races view the same rare foods as delicacies, and have a notorious poor record when it comes to sharing resources. In the case of boggards, the animosity runs deeper than this; boggards and swamp brownies share an irrational and enduring hatred for one another, each finding the other repugnant. Skirmishes and all-out wars between these two races are not uncommon.

A 5th-level neutral spellcaster with the Improved Familiar feat can gain a swamp brownie as a familiar.
