The critters
| ALLIGATOR SNAPPING TURTLES | |
| Jaws - Gave lessons to that guy on TV on the proper use of jaw muscles. Then had the guy steal his name. Still mad about it. Bites 1 inch steel rebar into little pieces for the fun of it. | |
| Tiny - 198 pounds of lock jaw fury. Been sneaking up on hands and feet for over 75 years. | |
| ESCORTS | |
| Katie - Everyone's favorite escort while searching for the Swamp Things. She knows where all the caches are. Unfortunately for you, she is sworn to secrecy. If she starts acting spooky, you are probably fixing to meet one of the other critters in the swamp. | |
| FLYING CRITTERS | |

Marcellus - This little woman is really possessive of her neck of the woods. Shake the wrong limb and she will call on all 742 of her sisters, daughters, nieces, cousins and other very close relatives to come pay you a visit. Think of her as a cattle prod on steroids. |

Stiletto - The reduced size image at the left doesn't really do this fellow justice. He has been known to carry unwitting geocachers to special hiding places so his big brothers won't steal a meal from him. |
| GATORS | |
| Charlene - The cute one in the family, but a real she devil. Those seductive winks from her big brown eyes have been the end to many an unwary visitor to the swamps. | |
| Clyde - Known as a "leg" man and able to outrun a horse. Patriarch of the family. Lives in Bogue Chitto River swamps. Hates travel bugs, they give him indigestion. Uses the rope geocachers carry as dental floss. Will accept Chinese take-out in place of tough geocachers. Likes Oreos. | |
| Earl - Lives in Steens Creek near Florence. Cousin to Clyde. | |
| Fred - Lives in Big Creek. 19 feet long and 3 feet wide. His photo was part of the logo for the 5th Geocachers Swamp Pilgrimage. Fred is in the foreground of the photo. | |

Jacques - Originally lived in Louisiana bayous. Moved to Mississippi for his health. |
| Ralph - The quiet one in the family. Hates Oreos. | |
| Walter - The showoff in the family. Likes to lie on a log in Big Creek beside Highway 51 and let the locals gawk at him. Fred's little brother. Walter is in the background in the photo. | |
| WATER MOCCASINS | |
| Butch - Able to size up a meal with half a glance, because he only has one eye. One of the Hissy twins. | |
| Sissy - About half the size of your leg with a mean disposition. The other Hissy twin. | |
