Covered in Mud: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

Face it, we all take ''some'' stock in our appearance: at least, enough that we don't want to be all dirty, especially not in front of others. So what's a universal way for someone to be brought down a few notches? Well, by them being muddy, of course! Mud is a particularly dirty substance, hard to wash out.

== Video Games ==

* In ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', rogues have the ability "blind" which pretty much consists of [[A Handful for An Eye|throwing dirt in one's face]] (previous versions had them carry special "blinding powder", which became [[Vendor Trash]] after the need for it was removed).

{{quote|Once favored by rogues as a blinding agent, it was abandoned for more readily available resources... like dirt. }}

* ''[[Monster Hunter]] Tri'' introduces the Barroth, the love child of a [[Tyrannosaurus Rex]] and a Bulldozer that is often covered in mud. It has a habit of shaking said mud off, and any hunters unfortunate enough to get hit by the flying globs are covered in quickly-hardening mud that makes it impossible to attack (and open to getting plowed under by the Barroth!)

== Western Animation ==

* In ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', Rarity, who can't stand the thought of dirt or behaving in an "uncouth" way, refuses to participate in the Sisterhooves Social with her little sister. She eventually realizes how much it means to her sister, who in the meantime has decided to run the race with Applejack, so {{spoiler|during one stretch of the race, Applejack falls in mud. Rarity comes out of the mud in Applejack's place, and runs the rest of the race with Sweetie Belle, who only sees a mud-caked pony and doesn't realize until the end that it's Rarity.}}

* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'':

** Katara and Toph take full body mud baths in their spa day in "Tales of Ba Sing Se". Toph uses earthbending to traumatize the spa employee during her [[Cucumber Facial]].
