(Rich will just have to work hard for other mud. :-) ) You see, I just don't feel comfortable without my mud to sort of, well, heighten the healthy color of my scales and to gloss over the scars of missing scales. If I don't wear it, all day long people ask me if I had a bad knight or got run over by an automatic rice-picking machine on the way to work in the morning. No, no, I'm not insecure, I just get nervous when people notice me. Being a legendarily attractive creature, I am reminded of the defensive qualities of mud (pay no attention to that thrush!) in repelling men: who wants a mouthful of mud?!
