Dismal Falls are huge waterfalls on Third Earth. They are formed at the point where the course of the River of Poison flows over a cliff. The waters of Dismal Falls eventually empty into Baleful Swamp. Its waters are highly poisonous and the whole area is shrouded in a deadly mist. Even the brave ThunderCats avoid venturing into the area of the Baleful Swamp and when they do, they wear the Thermal Catsuits to protect themselves from the harsh environment.
After Mumm-Ra armed the Mutants with the Totem of Dera, they set a trap for the ThunderCats at the Baleful Swamp. When Lion-O, WilyKit, and Snarfer arrived in the ThunderClaw, Vultureman used the Totem's power to bring to life a giant serpent from the swamp's waters which caused the three Cats to crash into the swamp. While trying to save his two friends, Lion-O accidentally swallowed some of the swamp's toxic water and became deathly ill. Later on Mumm-Ra used the Totem to create a monster of mud and sludge to attack the ThunderCats. As the monster was immune to all of the ThunderCats attacks, they eventually used the Sword of Omens to break Dismal Falls and cause a flood of water which washed away the monster.
