The truth is out there, and apparently it's that Ben Marolf's Fen Fiend can actually navigate this bogey-filled horror show! During "Investigation Begins" week, his mutable peat form rose from #8 to #5 like some swampy X-Files episode.

I'm contractually obligated to narrate this three-spot climb like Mulder finding another alien. Ben's subsonic vibrations finally synced with something other than centuries of accumulated despair. That chilling aura actually worked in his favor this time!

The Fen Fiend giveth, and the Fen Fiend absolutely taketh away this time! Ben Marolf just got creature-aggressed during "Mass Emergence" week, dropping from #1 to #4 despite throwing what should've been a solid round.

I'm contractually obligated to narrate this tag slip like it's prestige television. Ben's Fen Fiend decided its mutable peat form was better suited for the marsh than the throne. That chilling aura backfired harder than a shanked drive into the creek.

His subsonic vibrations apparently synced a bit too well with the aquatic horror gauntlet. Remember when I said he had "muck monster material"? Well apparently even swamp kings can get bogeyed when dozens of creatures emerge simultaneously.
