This is a common subtrope of Geo Effects, where boggy or swampy areas drastically impede your movement. So long as you remain in here, you'll move at a snail's pace, vulnerable to passing enemies. Your jumping, if applicable, may or may not be affected by this, and in fact, you may be able to move quickly by repeatedly jumping in and out of the bog.
In some cases the bog may actually be hazardous to your health, dealing damage over time, acting like quicksand and swallowing you whole if you spend too long within, or applying some unpleasant Status Effects.
For some reason, you're never able to simply walk around the hazardous terrain, as the area is almost uniformly flooded like this. Any safer paths will almost certainly be blocked off with fallen logs, impassible treelines, and so on. However, some mudpits look hazardous, but are actually safe enough to cross...
Not to be confused with Bubblegloop Swamp or Quicksand Sucks.
See also Swamps Are Evil and Grimy Water. Oddly enough, rarely combined with Mud Wrestling. Unrelated, except by name, to the old text game MUD and MUCK.

In the My Friend Rabbit episode "Muddy Puddle", rabbit tries to cross a dried up river bank only to get stuck when his inflated shoes break. Thunder, Hazel, and the ducklings also get trapped and eventually they're all freed when Edweena gives them a log to climb onto.

Clockwise: During Brian's increasingly farcical journey to Norwich, he tries to direct the car through a field after taking a wrong turn, and the car ends up stuck in mud. Even though he is wearing a smart suit, he gallantly tries to push the car, but ends up covered in mud himself; especially when he kicks the car in a fit of anger, and falls flat on his face. When trying to find somebody with a tractor to pull them out, he accidentally wanders into a monastery, and ends up having a bath, in spite of his urgency.

The Night Unfurls:
Kyril is displeased with the mud in Scathlocke, for it, along with the cold and humidity, are responsible for bogging down the soldiers under his command.
Getting stuck in the mud is one of the risks of trekking through the Dead Marshes, as Fredrick, who sinks waist deep into the muck, learns the hard way.

The "negative cover" system in Dawn of War usually consists of swampy or at least flooded terrain. In normal cover, units move slower but take less damage, here they move slower and take more damage.

The animated film version of The Phantom Tollbooth also shows the Doldrums, a swamp that it's too easy to get mired down in both literally and figuratively. At first Milo's car just gets stuck, but as he starts to succumb to the effect the thing seems to be starting to melt.

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap: Castor Wilds consists of a quicksand-like marsh with safe zones in the form of raised land. Traversing it safely requires getting ahold of the Pegasus Shoes, which let you dash across before the muck can take hold.

Although it's technically more of a swamp, both Demon's Souls and Dark Souls feature this, complete with reduced mobility and absence of rolling. In both games, the swamp is also poisonous, so staying in it for long isn't exactly advisable. In the first game, swamp jellyfishes that live in it can be killed to provide anti-poison herbs, but the absence of rolling is lethal since any other enemies can cross the swamp with nary a hitch, unlike you. In the second game, the enemies that live on it can still charge at you at maximum speed, but an equippable ring exists so that movement penalties are removed entirely when walking on swamps. Oh, and fast rolling (<25% equip burden, or Dark Wood Grain Ring ninja flip) is not disabled in the swamp.

In the Heroes of Might and Magic series, swamp terrain drastically slows down army movement, unless the army is composed entirely of creatures native to that terrain type. This can be mitigated by sticking to roads... when there are roads.

Happens a few times in Craig of the Creek
Near the end of "Sunday Clothes", Craig and Kelsey end up trapped in a large mud puddle and J.P. can't go in to save them since he's still wearing his Sunday clothes. He resolves the situation by taking the clothes off before going to rescue his friends.
In "Memories of Bobby", Kelsey reminiscences about the time she helped the Horse Girls pull Mackenzie out of "quick mud". Near the end of the episode, Mackenzie comes to the main trio for help because Maney got trapped in the quick mud.

In double battles, by using Water Pledge and Grass Pledge at the same time, the ground beneath the opposing team's feet is turned into a swamp for four turns, which makes them move four times slower.

Keeping Up Appearances: In "Sea Fever", one of the many delays to Hyacinth and Richard boarding the QE2 cruise ship is driving down increasingly rural and narrow roads, until they end up in a boggy field. When their car gets stuck, Richard orders Hyacinth to get out and push the car, which she does, and ends up covered in mud.

Water in Left 4 Dead 2 reduces the survivor's running speed, though not the Infected's. The "Swamp Fever" campaign has this trope as one of its highlights, given the campaign's setting, as does "Hard Rain".

In Deep Rock Galactic, the Fungus Bogs has pools of sticky goo that slow down anything that tries to walk through them. Mactera Goo Bombers invoke this by raining goo puddles from above.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater has pools of mud like this. If the mud is deep enough, Snake will eventually sink to his death. What's more, the mud houses leeches which will cling to Snake and sap his stamina.

A very small bit of this was seemingly featured in the Episode "Training Daze" in Pokémon Chronicles, as an obstacle course for Jessie, James, and Meowth's first training exercise mission together.

In Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Batman loses his first fight with the Mutant Leader, largely because age has reduced his speed and agility. He sets up a rematch in a mud pit, ensuring that they'll both be moving slowly and ponderously.

The Muck zooid in Sipho is this trope in the form of a weapon, spraying a cloud of goo that slows doing anything within.

The swamp level in Turok 2 has regular mud that slows you down, and quicksand that instantly sucks you down.

Some of the jungle levels and one south pacific level in Tomb Raider III have mud that makes Lara sink if she steps in it. In some spots, the mud is deep enough to make Lara be completely submerged and she will quickly drown.

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap: Castor Wilds consists of a quicksand-like marsh with safe zones in the form of raised land. Traversing it safely requires getting ahold of the Pegasus Shoes, which let you dash across before the muck can take hold.

Doom Eternal has shallow pools of purple goop that prevent the player from jumping or dashing, forcing them to search for a ramp to escape. The game also likes to hide Tentacles just under the pool's surface to ambush you.

The parodic wargame Turnip 28 notes that "Europe is a horrible mud pit barely fit for human habitation." Mud ranges from knee-to-waist deep everywhere, and the main source of "comedy" is incompetent soldiers "kicking each other to death in the mud."

In The Hound of the Baskervilles, the moor has the Grimpen Mire, which only Jack Stapleton knew how to cross safely. Another character who'd tried to traverse it was sucked down into its depths.
