The Mudraker is a monster in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Mudrakers are piles of mud that have come to life and have an amorphous form. Their faces have tiny, glowing blue eyes set in deep sockets and slack-jawed mouths. According to their monster descriptions in various games, they are formed from the souls of the dead dwelling in mud. Sunlight is their natural enemy as it can harden their bodies. Their names are a combination of the words "mud", which their bodies are composed of, and "muckraker". Much like the Muddy hand, mudrakers have sometimes been classified as members of the Undead family.
