Mudwretch

A lurching mound of animate muck that festers in swamps and stagnant water, the mudwretch drags itself toward the living to smother and pummel them with sodden fists. Drying it out is the surest way to break it.

Susceptible to Desiccation If a mudwretch takes any damage from horrid wilting or a similar effect, takes 10 or more fire damage from a single effect, or spends more than 24 hours outside of a source of sufficient hydration (such as a swamp, river, well, or recent rainfall), it becomes dehydrated. While dehydrated, the mudwretch can't Spew Mud, is sickened 2, and is slowed 1 until it either fully immerses in water, spends 1 minute in the rain, or rehydrates in another way (such as via Gory Hydration).
