Monster: Mudman

Monster: Mudman

Mudmen are formed in pools of mud where enchanted waters collect and evaporate. Mudmen resemble short, stocky humanoids, formed of mud. They have a barrel shaped body, and long, thick arms that end in huge, roughly formed hands. Their heads are featureless, though on occasion eyes or a mouth will be formed in the mud.

Once a creature enters the mudman's mud pool, the mudman senses it and assumes its humanoid form. If a creature leaves the pool, the mudmen will not follow, but will sink back down into the pool and assume their dormant state.

A mudman attacks using its fists or hurling mud at its foes (its preferred form of attack).
