Description
A mud-man is a creature of animated mud, taking a stocky humanoid form when roused, and is formed in a pool of mud where enchanted waters collect and evaporate and concentrate the dweomer. A mud-man attacks by hurling mud at opponents; the mud hardens on impact and slows the movement of the victim. Immobilized victims usually die from suffocation from the hardened mud.
