Gil Mudflap

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

Gil Mudflap (ゴツム・ロー, Gotsumu Rō, Gotsumu Roh) is an inspector of the Space Police in Magical Starsign who specializes in Earth Magic. He occasionally works alongside his brother, Abalon Demar, and is widely known for his foul odor.

Appearance
Mudflap's body is coated in murky grey sludge, 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.

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.

Battle
During the battle against Mudflap, he is accompanied by two Buck Privates whom he uses to power up his Bossy Push skill. The strength of Bossy Push will weaken if there are less Buck Privates present. As for his other skills, Mudflap can release three different odors that can either reduce physical attack accuracy, seal magic, or heavily drain the party's MP. Not only do his odors affect the party, but they also damage the Buck Privates.

Name origin
Mudflaps are rubber pads that are hung behind the tires of vehicles. They prevent dirt and other debris from getting flung around.

His Japanese name, Gotsumu Roh (ゴツム・ロー), is an anagram of "mutsugorō" (鯥五郎), which means "mudskipper".
