The Mudraker is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest V. It is an amorphous mass of mud that has been brought to life.
Mudrakers are mud elementals that erupt from the ground to slap at enemies with their newly formed mashing arms. They're capable of casting Kabuff in order to harden their muddy clay skin and prevent it from cracking mid-battle. Their freaky faces seem like they're constantly melting and dripping, with massive mouths that they sometimes spend turns laughing madly with and odd eyes that they'll just spend battle time staring. Much like the Muddy hand, mudrakers have sometimes been classified as members of the Undead family and as such, take extra damage from skills such as Undead Undoer. According to their descriptions in IX and X, 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".
Mudrakers appeared from the beginning of the game, once again having their familiar ability to cast Kabuff to protect themselves and any allies. Starting in Version 5.4 of the game, vicious mudrakers can be faced in the Netherworld, as well.
Spirits of the dead who dwell in glorious mud and fear nothing more than clement weather. The sun's vicious rays can bake them solid, after which their sense of self inevitably crumbles
