Marshes are Betweenlands biomes characterized by small, very flat landmasses scattered in Swamp Water, with large quantities of tall, reedy grasses and sparse Weedwood Trees.
There are two variants, Marsh 0 and Marsh 1, that can spawn independently of each other and contain slightly different topography.
Fog in general is thicker in a Marsh biome than in other biomes. During the Dense Fog event, the fog is even thicker and "They" appear more frequently.

The Marsh 0 landscape
The Marsh 0 biome contains larger and more patchy landmasses, with larger pools of Swamp Water separating them.
