The mud mannequin is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest II, it is a simple mannequin of dried clay brought to life.
A member of the material family, the mud mannequin is a man-sized manic dancing animated doll, made of cracked clay that's just strong enough to hold the monster together. In games where the monsters have animations, the mud mannequin's joints are detachable and they collapse creepy into heaps of clay at the end of the battle. It has the ability to directly drain magic points straight from party members via the various wacky Weird Dances.
Marsha the female mud mannequin is a creature that can be befriended. She eventually runs the Monster Scout Proficiency Test, a battery of 12 crucial exams spread out over the course of the game. By the latter half of the game, she can be consistently found in the Arena.
Mud mannequin is one of the four possible starter monsters Psaro can receive at the beginning of the game. Monty will offer it if the player answering "Yes" to the question: “Do you like weird and wonderful monsters?”. This question can be reached by answering "Yes" to “Would you say you prefer lovable monsters to more rugged types?”, then "No" to “And do you like more compact monsters?” or answering "No" to “Would you say you prefer lovable monsters to more rugged types?”, then "Yes" to “Would you prefer a monster with sleek skin to one that's on the furrier side?”.
One look at the weird way they waggle their limbs can make even the dourest of warriors want to dance along. The mud they're made from is imbued with magic—rub your face with it, and your skin will be silky smooth in no time!
Mud mannequin appears as a C-rank monster of the inorganic family that can be scouted normally from any banner. It can participate in the golem and madusa's Battle Roads as a party member.
