"I guess it don't make no difference to me. Kids, adults, fluffy puppies... Anyone tries to stop the master's ceremony, and I'm gonna crush'm."

―Mudflap

Gil Mudflap is a character in Magical Starsign. He is the superintendent of the Bena Rikashi Space Police and the younger brother of Abalon Demar. He is also a user of the earth starsign, but seems unable to cast magic.

Profile

Mudflap is ruthless, willing to eliminate anybody who stands in the way of Kale's plans, but is somewhat fearful of his brother and superior, Abalon Demar. He showed no mercy when he realized that the students he was supposed to fight were merely children, even threatening to crush them. Mudflap's fear of his brother becomes apparent when he shuddered and begged for forgiveness after his glider was sliced. Despite this, Mudflap cares about his brother's well-being.

Mudflap's body is coated in murky gray sludge that emits a foul yellow odor, and two fins can be seen protruding from his hips. He has downturned green eyes. For clothing, he wears a large Space Police glider with shide streamers attached to it, and his belly button is hidden with a spiral shell.

Biography

Magical Starsign

While tracking Sorbet down Shishkebab Cavern, the party discovered prison cells containing magicians abducted by the Space Police. Rogan Josh, who was accompanying them, stated that Gil Mudflap carried the prison keys. The party eventually caught up to Sorbet wielding the magic potfolk Celadon, using his powers to warp beyond a door to the Stone Stage. A horde of Space Policemen rushed in alongside Mudflap, though the party withstood his foul odor and defeated him in battle. Declaring revenge, Mudflap ran away and dropped his ring of keys, so Rogan Josh took them and promptly released a number of captive magicians.

Back in Bena Rikashi, officers alerted Chief Abalon Demar about Mudflap's loss against the students of Will-o'-Wisp Academy, to which he ordered that Magnus Muzzleflash be reinstated into the Space Police. Mudflap barged into Demar's office, his odor knocking the officers unconscious, and warned Demar of the catastrophic consequences of releasing Magnus. Demar, however, silenced Mudflap and ordered him to go to Cassia and await further instruction. He also warned Mudflap that Biek Fowler would terminate both of them if they failed before his return from vacation.

In an effort to claim the water millennium gummy before the students, Mudflap and Demar flew inside the second floor of the Holy Water Pyramid, where Demar massacred the water people. When the students arrived in the central chamber, they found Demar, Mudflap, and other SP officers observing the water gummy. The other officers started to faint from Mudflap's foul odor. Mudflap spotted the students and pointed them out. Realizing they were just children, Demar angrily questioned Mudflap's loss against the students. Mudflap swore that he could win against them this time and insisted to fight on behalf of his brother, to which Demar disagrees and insulted him. Flabbergasted by the insult, Mudflap repeated it, but Demar swiftly sliced off his gilder helmet to silence him, worsening his odor. Unable to tolerate his stench, Demar invited the students to battle outside, leaving Mudflap alone in the chamber with fainted officers. Upon defeating Demar, Mudflap was distressed by his brother's unconscious state and begged him to wake up. Immediately after, Mudflap, the other officers, and Demar's unconscious body exited the pyramid with warp magic.

Trivia

• Mudflap's battle sprite is not cropped in the bestiary, causing it to extend out of the window.
• He is the only key Space Police officer who does not use magic in battle.
• Mudflap's English bestiary description incorrectly states he the Space Police's inspector, which is actually Brie Pourri's position.
• In the English localization, Demar calls Mudflap "sludgeface" as an insult towards his appearance. In Japanese, he calls him a "soft-shelled turtle" (ドンガメ, dongame), either in reference to his mental fragility, or as a diminutive of "turtle troops" (カメ軍団, kame gundan), a name Pico uses to refer to the Space Police.
• In Japanese, when Mudflap appears in the Holy Water Pyramid, the accompanying SP officers' dialogue suggests that they are plugging their noses, with one officer even calling him Gotumu-rama (ごとぅむらま) instead of Gotsumu-sama (ゴツム様).

Nomenclature

His name comes from mudflap, rubber pads hung behind the tires of vehicles to prevent debris from getting flung.
