The second in a series I'm making, featuring Avatar characters as classic Hollywood Monsters.

Here is Swamp-Thing Katara (AKA, Creature from the Black Lagoon). This would have been out sooner, except I swear to you this image is cursed. I lost it once and had to start from scratch. Then I accidentally merged all the layers and had to do all the coloring on one layer. Then I accidentally swiped a section with the history brush, didn't notice, and saved it like that...only to come back later and find a huge scar across the image. So yeah, if it's a bit messy, you know why.

STORYLINE:
A year after the events of ATLA, Katara returns to the Swamp to learn more about botanical waterbending - she hopes to learn from the vine-bending master there. Unbeknownst to her, however, the Swamp is slowly being polluted by poisonous sludge from a fire nation factory upstream - one of the many that have been converted to civilian-owned enterprises since the war's end. Sickened and unable to defend itself, the Spirit of the Swamp grows desperate. Finally, seeing no other option, it possesses Katara and uses her to destroy the factory. While the Spirit waits to recover, it continues controlling her like some creepy marionette, attacking anyone who dares trespass within its borders...
