Oh to just be a swamp creature… Simple life, nature, fresh air (and bog gases), eating small fish and frogs…
If this was a character in a game, I bet it would be one of those who isn't going to fight you, but also isn't really an ally in your cause. Nice - but neutral. Not getting involved in your conflicts, not caring much about outside things even when they are important to others. (Could maybe be convinced to help though as long as it's not too much trouble, though.)
He could be a vendor, selling the small things he finds in the swamps - leftovers from adventurers eaten by alligators - in exchange for interesting snacks and things he can't get on his own. And sometimes, just in exchange for some gossip. Because the idyllic life in the wilds can at times feel a tad bit isolated.

@breadandcircuses Cold spring. I grew up in a swamp, and if we had an unusually cold or late spring, then we’d get both the spring and summer mosquitoes at the same time. (Yes, they’re different species.) I’ve noticed that it’s been unusually bad for mosquitoes also. #SwampCreature #mosquitoes #nature
