"Clean the mold off of this guy and there won't be anything left. In other words, he's a pile of mold."

— Battle Memory

The Putrid Moldyman is an enemy in both EarthBound and Mother 3. Outside of battle, it resembles an ordinary Trash Can. However, if a character approaches it, the Putrid Moldyman will prove itself to be no ordinary Trash Can and begin to move.

In EarthBoundEdit

In EarthBound, it appears in the Threed graveyard, and can bash a character or spread mold spores to inflict the Crying status ailment upon one character. They are resistant to Paralysis, PSI Fire, and immune to Brainshock.

In Mother 3Edit

In Mother 3, it possesses the ability to scatter poisonous spores, dealing damage to all party members with a chance of poisoning. They are resistant to apologizing (despite the fact that Salsa is not a playable character in Chapter 8) and sleeping, as well as being completely immune to Paralysis and poisoning.
