It turns out that The Swamped One is actually a special mob for the Warden’s class quests. He’s supposed to spawn in the Foundations of Stone in Moria, but apparently has been popping up elsewhere. It might be a bit of fun to take him out if you’re capable, but everyone else should just avoid him entirely.
The logic governing his spawning was flawed, resulting in some rather unfair behavior towards low level characters. I’ve made and submitted fixes for this that will go in the next build internally and will ultimately end up on the live worlds.
Until then, that place is evil, don’t go near it =)
Should be fixed soon. In the meantime, I thought it was pretty amusing.

Many MMORPGs allow characters to have so called “non-combat” pets. They serve no real purpose and simply follow your character around once they’re summoned. A lot of people enjoy this little extra, however, and the practice has become extremely common. World of Warcraft, for example, seemingly has dozens of the things. Some of them can be purchased, while others are far more rare. Either way, they’re quite popular and some Korean developed MMORPGs revolve around them.
Many people don’t know that there are non-combat pets in LotRO. The most likely reason why people don’t know is that the ability is restricted to only one class in the game: Lore–masters. The other reason is that this ability wasn’t added until Book 11, a while after the launch of the game.
In LotRO a Lore–master can only have one pet out at a time, regardless as to whether or not it’s combat or non-combat. Don’t expect your little snake friend to dish out any damage .… Their sole goal in life is to be cute and impress your friends.
