In blighted lands, dark energies flow and pool, sometimes giving rise to dangerous creatures compelled to sow pain and death.

The mudmen erupt in an explosion of mud, attempting to envelop interlopers and drown them.

They quickly found themselves caught in the middle of a war between invading firenewts and the mudmen lurking in the pools.
