Notes

  • In TVHM and UVHM, they have the same names, which are different from normal mode. Their appearance changes as well.
    • Pup Swamp Skag > Horned Pup Swamp Skag
    • Adult Swamp Skag > Horned Swamp Skag
    • Spitter Swamp Skag > Hawking Swamp Skag
    • Barf Swamp Skag > Vomitous Swamp Skag
    • Alpha Swamp Skag > Elder Alpha Swamp Skag
    • Badass Corrosive Swamp Skag > Super Badass Corrosive Swamp Skag
  • Albino Skags do not change their name
  • Alpha Swamp Skags have a Corrosive visual effect when charging, this does not do corrosive damage.
  • Corrosive is the only element the Badass Skags can spawn in.
  • It is possible for all the lesser types of swamp skags to be imbued with corrosive and slag (from Dribbles). There names follow the same naming scheme as regular skags of each type, losing the "swamp" prefix. Albino Skags use the normal mode Barf Skag naming in every mode.
  • While powered by an element, the skag has strange rectangles protruding from its back.
  • Ol' Pukey is the only friendly swamp skag, though not targetted by other swamp skags, Ol' Pukey will take damage from the attacks of fellow swamp skags. This includes the attacks from a Badass Corrosive Swamp Skag that would usually imbue a swamp skag with corrosive.
