Characteristics

Muddy hands are disembodied human hands made of mud. They are known for their ability to call for backup and summon other muddy hands to the battle, along with other monsters, as well. According to their monster description in various games, the hands are formed from the souls of men who drowned in mud, which is why they are frequently made part of the Undead family. Some games also state that the hands themselves are simply the only parts of themselves that they reveal, with the rest of the monsters' bodies hiding underground.
