mudman
Sculpted earth creature
A mudman is a figure sculpted from clay or mud, especially the miniature ceramic figurines used in Chinese aquarium decorations and bonsai displays.
In folklore and fantasy, a mudman is a creature formed from earth and animated—related to the concept of a golem.
The term occasionally describes someone covered in mud: The kids came back from the creek as mudmen.
