Swamp Thing

A swamp hermit named Earl claims something unnatural is living in the deepest part of the Grassrivers wetlands.

Deep in the Grassrivers, past the last airboat tour operator and well beyond cell phone reception, there's a shack held together by duct tape, prayer, and what appears to be alligator hide. This is home to Earl — a wild-eyed, barefoot hermit who hasn't worn shoes since the Clinton administration and communicates primarily through conspiracy theories and homemade moonshine. Earl is convinced that something is living in the deepest, most inaccessible part of the swamp — something big, something that moves at night, and something that's been killing the gators. He wants you to go find it, armed with nothing but an airboat and a hand-drawn map that may or may not be right-side up. The journey takes you through the most atmospheric section of Grassrivers — narrow waterways choked with cypress trees, fog rolling across the water, and the constant sensation that something is watching from just below the surface. What you find at the center of the swamp is unexpected, darkly funny in true GTA fashion, and worth the trip. Completing the mission unlocks a custom airboat at the Grassrivers Ranch dock — faster and more maneuverable than the standard model.
