Gil Mudflap

Gil Mudflap, known in Japan as Gotsumu Roh, is a boss character in Magical Starsign. He is an inspector of the Space Police, and the older brother of Abalon Demar.

Appearance
Mudflap's body is coated in murky grey sludge with a noticeable odor, and two fins can be seen protruding from his hips. For clothing, he wears a large Space Police glider with square streamers, and his belly button is hidden with a spiral shell.

Boss
Despite having the earth starsign, Mudflap does not possess any spells. He has three primary attacks, which deal damage to all members of the party along with a potential status effect, while also dealing the same to the two buck privates at his side: blinding stench can cause members to become blind; sickening stench can cause members to have a cold; and retching odor can cause members to have their magic points drained. When one of the buck privates has their platform raised, Mudflap will be able to perform bossy push, a powerful physical attack against one member of the party. He is still able to perform this move even when both are defeated, although its strength is reduced.

Bestiary entry
Mudflap is one of Bena Rikashi's police inspectors. He looks--and smells--powerful. Be careful not to let him smother you.

Magical Starsign
The party first encounters Gil Mudflap on their way down Shishkebab Caverns while chasing down Sorbet. To prevent the five students from interrupting Kale's sacrifice of magicians at the Stone Stage, he challenges them to a duel and ultimately loses. As Mudflap swears revenge and flees the cave, he accidentally drops a set of keys that unlock the cells where Kale's captives are being held.

Mudflap is seen again when the party tries to retrieve the Water Millennium Gummy at Holy Water Pyramid, this time accompanying his brother. His odor is too disgusting for everyone to handle, so he stays put while Abalon Demar fights the students outside.

Trivia

 * The name "Mudflap" comes from mudflap, a rubber pad that is hung behind the tires of vehicles to prevent the flinging of debris.
 * His Japanese name, Gotsumu Roh (ゴツム・ロー), is an anagram of "mutsugorō" (鯥五郎), which means "mudskipper".
 * Mudflap's battle sprite is not cropped in the bestiary, causing it to extend out of the window.
