There are also active pools found in the Depths, [[Labyrinths]] and, occasionally, other areas such as [[Akkala Citadel Ruins]]. These chase Link and form [[Gloom Spawn]], giant hands with eyeballs, to grab him. If Link escapes these, they evaporate and leave [[Dark Clump]]s behind. If he confronts them - as is required under the [[Deku Tree]] to free [[Korok Forest]] - actively defeating them spawns a [[Phantom Ganon (Tears of the Kingdom)|Phantom Ganon]].

Gloom-based substances cause [[Regional Phenomena]] for certain races. The [[Goron]]s' tough bodies seem to resist Gloomy mortality, so Ganondorf disabled them through other means. [[Marbled Gohma]], his minion, infects [[Death Mountain]] with Gloom, resulting in the creation of [[Marbled Rock Roast]], an extremely addictive narcotic that entirely neuters the Goron working force. Children and the elderly can't chew through the tough substance, but they alone are unable to keep the [[YunoboCo]] gem-mining operations afloat.
The Zora are also affected by Gloom, this time taking the form of [[Sludge]]. This watered-down version is too weak to harm Link directly, but reduces his movement speed significantly when he attempts to wade through it. However, as Muzu later admits, the Zora are noticeably susceptible to Gloom, and rely on water to survive, so the Sludge in the domain proves life-threatening for them, with [[King Dorephan]] himself nearly dying from it. Copious quantities of Sludge source from [[Mucktorok]], spitting it down from the [[Sky]]-based [[Water Temple]]; more still is also produced by the [[Sludge Like]], the monster who almost killed the Zora monarch.
