A Mud Elemental in Dungeons & Dragons is a creature that embodies the primal forces of mud, combining the essence of earth and water. Often depicted as a large, amorphous mass of dark, viscous mud, it is typically found in swampy or wetland areas where the elements of earth and water are in constant flux. Mud Elementals are generally neutral, reflecting the unpredictable nature of mud itself. They are capable of moving through and manipulating the terrain, shifting and flowing like the very mud they are made of.

In combat, Mud Elementals are known for their ability to engulf enemies by transforming into a thick, sticky sludge. When a creature is within their form, it becomes difficult to move, and they can inflict damage by constricting or dragging their victims into the depths of the mud. They also have resistance to physical attacks, as their mud form can absorb or deflect strikes. Magic that manipulates water or earth often has an effect on them, either helping them grow in size or causing them to solidify.

Mud Elementals typically serve as guardians or as creatures bound to specific locales, like swamps or marshes. They are not inherently malevolent but can become hostile if their territory is disturbed or if they are summoned for destructive purposes. Adventurers encountering a Mud Elemental may need to use elemental magic or specific tools to break free from its grasp or find a way to disperse its mass. Their relationship with other elemental beings is usually neutral or slightly antagonistic, as they can be seen as chaotic or uncontrolled forces in the elemental hierarchy.
