Mud is apart of an odd, but suprisingly common species. They just aren't seen from much considering they're not able to go outside without protection. His species grow from mushrooms with random items thrown around them to give them unique features. Because a beetles exoskeleton was near his mushroom, and a glob of slime, he developed a pair of beetle horns- and his right arm was a floating glob of slime. Mud's known to be decently adventerous throughout his troop, and known to hold strong opinions, but he doesn't get into trouble often. To be honest, Mud's just vibing.

Muds species don't necassarily have parents, but none of them are considered orphans. They reproduce fast, considering all you need to have a baby mush is a mushroom and some random funky object. Because they reproduce asexually and without the influence of other mush's, adults in their troops volenteer to raise baby Mush's.
