Minion Creature Mel is the Swamp Monster of the Minions Funko POP
From Minions, Creature Mel, the Swamp Monster of the Minions as a stylized Funko POP. A Swamp Monster (also variously called a swamp creature, swamp man, swamp thing, or muck monster) is a fictional creature often imagined to lurk in a swamp. Some swamp monsters resemble aquatic creatures while other swamp monsters resemble aquatic plants and moss. Below is a list of the known swamp monsters in folklore and different media appearances. Swamp creatures are humanoid creatures similar to fish or resembling living piles of swamp mire. They live underwater and occasionally come to the surface, but only when provoked. Within modern American folk myth and legend a notable example is Louisiana‘s Honey Island Swamp Monster. Another notable example is the May River Swamp Creature that along with other rare and spectacular creatures occupies the marshes and supralittoral zones of the South Carolina lowcountry, near Bluffton.
They seem to be akin to Kelpies, Kappa, the Loch Ness Monster, and Muck Monsters. Being only part humanoid, it is not popular belief that they are capable of speech, but in some cases, they have been capable of speech. Popular renditions of swamp creatures occur in popular media such as comic books (Marvel’s Man-Thing and DC’s Swamp Thing). They have also been featured on older films, most notably The Creature from the Black Lagoon. In all these cases, they displayed superstrength, extreme underwater adaptability, possible muck spitting and a frighteningly bad attitude. The term “Swamp Creature” has had particular resonance in politics, where the political world is often referred to as a swamp and its occupants called Swamp Creatures or Swamp Monsters.
