{{Template:MonsterManuelEntryNav|M}}
{{ManuelEntry|Macho Man|*Due to high levels of testosterone, Macho Men often go prematurely bald and have to wear wigs with built-in bandanas.
*70% of a Macho Man's disposable income is spent on shirts bought to replace shirts they tore up on purpose.
*Macho Men often spend so much money on replacement shirts that they can only afford to stay at the YMCA.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|mad bugbears|*Why are these bugbears angry? Well, they've got too many players for a game of bridge, for a start.
*The collective noun for a group of bugbears is a 'peeve'.
*It is unknown why bugbears hate humans so much, considering that it's mainly the Gnolls that treat them so oppressively. I guess they're just irrational racists.|attack=16|defense=15|hp=13|image=madbugbear.gif}}
{{ManuelEntry|mad flagellate|*Some flagellates only whip themselves, as penance to their tiny, tiny god.
*Most flagellates use their long thin limbs for propulsion, but it's not much of a surprise that the one you happened to encounter would be one of the violent ones. Why do you seem to have this effect on people? Maybe it's time for some self-reflection.
*Flagellates are careful to always have a safe word, but since they don't have the capacity for language, nobody knows how that works.|attack=25|defense=18|hp=20}}
{{ManuelEntry|mad wino|*The mad wino once ate a census taker's liver with some fava beans and a bottle of Mad Train wine.
*The mad wino thinks that Incredibly Mad Train Wine has notes of avocado, with a muskrat nose and a finish that's pure apotheosis.
*The mad wino's bindle is full of bottles of wine and statues of elder gods. If he ever finds a bottle of wine shaped like a statue of an elder god, he'll be the happiest hobo in the world.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Madiator|*Madiators could probably benefit from drugs or psychiatric treatment, but neither of those have been invented yet.
*Madiators who are sufficiently wealthy are just deemed eccentric.
*Madiators are sometimes geniuses, but no more likely to be so than sane folks.}}
{{ManuelEntry|magic dragonfish|*No magic dragonfish are named "Puff". None of them. Never.
*Many species of dragonfish have venomous spines, so it is recommended that you not attempt to hug one.
*Magic dragonfish are known for keeping large hoards of shiny glass pebbles and plastic treasure chests -- a valuable haul for any adventurer who manages to locate their homes. Well, for certain definitions of "valuable".|attack=500|defense=360|hp=750|image=dragonfish.gif}}
{{ManuelEntry|magical fruit bat|*Magical fruit bats are excellent students.
*In fact, they also make very effective tutors.
*They need snacks to keep up their energy, though, and the more they eat, the more they tute.}}
{{ManuelEntry|magically-animated snowman|*They call this a snow "man," but I've never seen a man whose legs are twice the radius of his torso, which is itself twice the radius of his head. There's something they're not telling us.
*Also, why are the buttons made of coal? There are plenty of regular rocks to use -- why are they trying to disrupt our energy supply?
*And they always wear scarves, but being warm is the worst thing that could happen to them. How does this make sense? I'll tell you. The scarf-industrial complex has altered the laws of physics to extract more money from us, that's what's going on.}}
{{ManuelEntry|MagiMechTech MechaMech|*Each MagiMech Tech MechaMech has a 56k modem and over 3 megabytes of RAM built in!
*MechaMechs contain a music player with over 300 megabytes of storage!
*MechaMechs have a navigation system onboard that uses satellites to pinpoint their precise location, provided those satellites are ever built and launched.|defense=108}}
{{ManuelEntry|magma man|*Back in the 60s, these guys were known as Mag Men.
*They were the toast of the town, and the town also often used them to make toast.
*Eventually the "Mag Man" lifestyle had to come to a close, as they were, every last one of them, murdered in their sleep by their beleaguered wives.}}
{{ManuelEntry|malevolent crop circle|*Soul Coughing broke up because the other members of the band kept asking Mike Doughty go on walks with them in crop circles, but he kept insisting that he didn't have to.
*Crop circles are not actually any more common or popular than crop hexagons, they just have a better publicist.
*If you ever find yourself lost in a crop circle, just keep your hand against the left edge and follow it -- that way you'll wander until you eventually die of starvation, which is exactly what the crop circle wants.}}
{{ManuelEntry|malevolent hair clog|*If you think the hair clogs in Spookyraven Manor are bad, you should see the ones in the Castle In The Clouds. All those giant beards!
*The best way to get rid of malevolent hair clogs is a bottle of "Liquid Exorcist", but most clerics will warn you that it's bad for your plumbing.
*You might think a spirit would have to be pretty desperate to possess a bathtub hair clog, and you'd be right. With the number of ghosts packed into Spookyraven Manor, they take what they can get. It was either that or a hand towel.|defense=81}}
{{ManuelEntry|malevolent magnetic field|*The existance of self-aware and sentient incarnations of various principles of physics, such as the magnetic field, is rare but byt no means unheard of. They are the result of one-upmanship among scientists and wizards trying to out-insane each other.
*Besides living magnetic fields, adventurers have also been known to encounter X-ray Golems, quadrupole ion trappers, Maxwell's Demon, and a mysterious warrior known only as Supermanifold.
*Scientists have discovered the existance of a truly immense magnetic field that covers the entire planet. Please, please try not to piss it off.|defense=76}}
{{ManuelEntry|Malevolent Tofurkey|*The tofurkey's malevolent intelligence is actually a hive-mind, created by the blending of all the little soybean-minds that comprise it. Obviously this is very traumatic for the soybeans, hence the agressiveness.
*Food engineers have also produced a loaf of pressed turkey meat in the shape of a soybean, for meat-eaters who want to pretend they're being health- and animal-conscious. For some reason, it isn't very popular.
*The tofurkey may seem angry, but you want real drama, you should try a vegetarian haggis. Whew!|attack=1|defense=0|hp=1}}
{{ManuelEntry|malt liquor golem|*Premium malt liquor is just regular malt liquor with a nicer label.
*Study after study demonstrates that this fact actually makes premium malt liquor taste better than regular malt liquor.
*Brains are stupid.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mammon the Elephant|*If you've discovered how to make turnips bleed,<br />it's a good indication your main sin is greed.
*What's so special 'bout eggs that he chooses to hoard 'em?<br />Just the fact that he's got 'em -- no one else can afford 'em.
*How does he sit on those eggs and not smash them?<br />He wraps them in money to cushion and cache them.}}
{{ManuelEntry|man with the red buttons|*The man with the red buttons also has red hair, but that's just an unfortunate birth defect.
*The man with the red buttons rocked a red earring for a while, but it was just a phase.
*The man with the red buttons also has red buttons on his pants instead of a zipper, and you *really* don't want to know why.}}
{{ManuelEntry|man-eating plant|*The man-eating plant is from the planet Vega, which explains why Vegans only eat plants. It's revenge.
*The man-eating plant wants you to know that it'll eat women, too. It's not trying to be sexist or anything.
*Usually people don't get close enough for the man-eating plant to eat them, so it has to make do with what it can get. "Frog-eating plant" doesn't have quite the scare to it, though.|defense=8}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mansquito|*I don't really want to describe what it's like when Mansquito sneezes, but I encourage you to try and imagine it.
*Mansquito acquired his powers accidentally while trying to invent a new, more powerful neti pot.
*Only female mosquitoes drink blood, so it's a little curious that Mansquito does as well. Maybe it's just optional for him?|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|Marcus Macurgeon|*Most people forget, in their website fixation,<br />the best porno comes from your imagination.
*Marcus had several ink colors, they say,<br />He'd write his worst work in fifty shades of grey.
*Writing bad porn's not a crime, if you need it,<br />So long as you don't expect others to read it.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|mariachi bandolero|*The mariachi bandolero's favorite instrument is ''el cuchillo'', which is played by applying it to someone's face until they scream.
*The bandolero's favorite tune isn't "Cielito Lindo" or "La Cucaracha," okay? It's actually "Tu, solo tu." So quit asking him to play that tourist crap.
*The bandolero shaves with a guard on his razor so he perpetually has a five o'clock shadow.|attack=95|defense=85|hp=120}}
{{ManuelEntry|mariachi bruiser|*The mariachi bruiser is actually a skilled flute player. But don't tell his buddies.
*The mariachi bruiser has two hobbies: collecting fingers from his victims, and building model trains.
*The mariachi bruiser's guitar case actually has a guitar in it. He hides the gun in his hat.|defense=144}}
{{ManuelEntry|mariachi calavera|*You might be wondering how a fat skeleton is even possible. In fact, now that I've brought the idea to your attention, you're definitely wondering that.
*Many mariachi calaveras were victims of the long ongoing feud between the Mariachis and the Accordion Thieves. Perhaps their post-death stress disorder is what causes them to drink so much.
*Never ask a mariachi calavery to play "La Cucaracha". Man they are so sick of that one.|attack=22|defense=19|hp=30|image=mariachi3.gif}}
{{ManuelEntry|Marvin J. Sunny|*Marvin kept all of his money in vats,<br />Which he covered in mayo to keep out the rats.
*Did the mayonnaise work? If you ask me, I'll say no,<br />Everyone knows that rats love them some mayo.
*Marvin commissioned a portrait quite weighty,<br />It was called "Marvin Gardens" and cost him $280.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|massive goo construct|*The Site Alpha Primary Lab's original purpose is shrouded in mystery.
*Prior to the infestation, the lab spent most decembers shrouded in tinsel.
*All of the lab's microscopes and test tubes and stuff are currently shrouded in goo.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0|image=noart.gif}}
{{ManuelEntry|master of ceremonies|*The master of ceremonies also arranges appointments for his courtesans and takes a chunk of the revenue they generate. So really he's just a pimp in a cool hat. So, y'know, a pimp.
*There are at least seven species of venereal disease living in the master of ceremonies' mustache.
*The master of ceremonies is a friend to all of his courtesans, but his true love is the evil duke.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0|image=promoter.gif}}
{{ManuelEntry|mayonnaise wasp|*The mayonnaise wasp has raw eggs in it, so don't eat it if it's been left out for more than 15 minutes in the summer time. Also, because it's a vicious stinging wasp.
*Mayonnaise wasps make mayo like bees make honey. So unlike their other foul brethren, they're actually contributing something.
*It turns out that the top black blob on the mayonnaise wasp is its head, and the bottom is the stinger. I've always seen it as the middle blob being a body, with the top and bottom blobs as claws, and just assumed the artist had never seen a wasp.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mayor Ghost|*All of the problems you have with Mayor Ghost are actually his predecessor's fault.
*Mayor Ghost is not a crook.
*Mayor Ghost never accepted any inappropriate gifts from any lobbyist or special interest group, with the single exception of a four thousand pound solid gold painting of dogs playing checkers.}}
{{ManuelEntry|me4t begZ0r|*Give a begZ0r some me4t, he'll be annoying for a lifetime. Don't give a begZ0r some me4t, he'll be annoying for a lifetime.
*The modern me4t begz0r is descended from the b3an begz0r of the prior age. It's the survival of the obnoxiousest.
*Me4t begz0rs have a vulnerable spot right between their legs. Kick them in it every chance you get.|attack=87|defense=78|hp=77|image=beggar.gif}}
{{ManuelEntry|mean drunk duck|*It only takes 6 ounces of beer to get a duck drunk. Because of this, scientists have speculated they're distant relatives of sorority girls.
*Birds need gravity to help them swallow, so if you're going to beer bong a duck, make sure you're on earth or an earth-like planet.
*The drunk duck's favorite schnapps is water-bug flavored.|defense=157|hp=190}}
{{ManuelEntry|Medieval dung peddler|*The Medieval dung peddler actually makes a decent living selling fertilizer to hippies.
*The Medieval dung peddler sleeps on a bed of straw, with a pillow of dung.
*The Medieval dung peddler knows how much dung goes into tanning hides, so he never drinks from a leather mug.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Medieval leather mug salesman|*If you think the leather mug salesman's wares are nonsensical, you haven't met the lace mug salesman.
*Most leather mug salesmen are experimenting with vinyl mugs now, because they have a warmer sound.
*The leather mug salesman has an ongoing rivalry with the town's potter. It's getting pretty hairy.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Medieval mug apprentice|*The Medieval mug apprentice is actually the leather mug salesman's daughter, and it's all going to end in tears when he finds out she's dating the Medieval potter's son.
*The Medieval mug apprentice is experimenting with paints that don't contain lead, which makes the Medieval potter freak out about abandoning the traditional ways.
*The Medieval mug apprentice once made a ceramic mug with a leather handle, which got her grounded for a full week.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Medieval potter|*Medieval potters only take a break when they need to use the Medieval potty.
*Medieval potters use only the most authentic lead-based paints to decorate their wares.
*Medieval potters make other things than pots, of course, but no one would come by the shop when it was called "Medieval Muggers."|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Medieval strawman debator|*If you don't enjoy the Strawman Debator's art, you probably want all arts to be made illegal!
*The Strawman Debator is currently only a novice, but he's studying to be a master.
*The Strawman Debator is best paired with an Ad Hominem Artisan, so they can argue with each other without annoying everyone else.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|Medieval stucco artisan|*Medieval stucco artisans use only the finest Medieval clay from the cesspits, which is only like 50% dung.
*Medieval stucco artisans have a deep rift between those who mix with hay, and those who mix with straw.
*Hod. Hod hod hod hod. Hod. Hod hod! Hod? Hod!|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|medium-sized barrel mimic|*The least pleasant part of being a barrel-mimicing mimic is when someone fills you full of wine.
*Okay, that's actually pretty pleasant. The least pleasant part is when some poor person tries to wear you.
*Barrel-mimicing mimics frequently spend a dozen years hibernating, pleasantly full of scotch.}}
{{ManuelEntry|medusa|*Gazing directly at a medusa head will turn you to stone. Gazing at one in a dirty, warped mirror will merely turn you into mud.
*The snakes that form medusa's hair are non-venomous, so don't worry about getting bit.
*medusa{{sic|capitalization}} heads are full of hydrogen, which allows them to fly and explains why they burst into flame when hit.|defense=76}}
{{ManuelEntry|mega frog|*It's possible that a mega frog might just be a prince with a curse, but you'd have to be pretty brave to kiss him and find out. Watch out for the tongue.
*The mega frog's natural prey is the mudscamp, a sort of intelligent swamp-dwelling legged fish. They don't appear in this adventure, because they're pretty shy.
*The mudscamp's only natural defense against the mega frog is squirting stink oil out of their awful-sauce glands, which they do pretty much all the time, and which doesn't seem to have very much effect.|attack=14|defense=16|hp=20}}
{{ManuelEntry|melty army man|*Green plastic army men tend to suffer the most in war, because they are generally recruited for skee-ball tickets and therefore are considered highly expendable.
*The effect a microwave oven has on a plastic army man is probably pretty similar to what standing near a real nuclear blast would do to you, if I had to guess.
*Also a ray of sunlight focused through a magnifying glass is probably pretty much like a death ray laser.}}
{{ManuelEntry|melty freezeface|*The red parts taste like cherry.
*The blue parts taste like raspberry.
*Oh, who am I kidding. The whole thing tastes like cold spoiled milk, and there's not enough food coloring in the world to trick you into believing otherwise.}}
{{ManuelEntry|menacing construct|*The menacing construct is actually not magic; it's sufficiently advanced technology. The fact that it is fueled by fairy dust is immaterial.
*The El Vibrato term for depression is "CHA-BEZEVEHO BENOKBU."
*El Vibrato island was named for its discoverer, adventurer El Vibrato. I think we're all glad it wasn't Queefrag who made the discovery.|defense=315}}
{{ManuelEntry|menacing construct (translated)|*The El Vibrato constructs play in a band on their off-cycles. It's called Fukro Bebu Paga, and they're kind of an electro-synth heavy metal deal.
*The language of El Vibrato has a word for "capacitance" but no word for "love."
*The mysterious constructmakers of El Vibrato vanished ages ago, leaving behind only their wondrous artifacts. Or possibly their useless junk. We're not sure.|defense=315}}
{{ManuelEntry|menacing lawn gnome|*Modern lawn gnomes are quite territorial, with a fierceness bordering on the feral. Throwing trash into one's carefully-manicured yard will likely result in a world of hurt.
*If you stacked five lawn gnomes on each others' shoulders, good job! I don't know how you managed to accomplish that without getting your ass kicked.
*The red conical hat of the lawn gnome was originally part of the military regalia of the Gnomish Royal Guards. It was a great honor to be a Guardsgnome, and modern plaster garden statues depicting them mockingly are considered incredibly offensive.|defense=45}}
{{ManuelEntry|menacing rodeo clown|*Rodeo clowns' hats are not normal hats -- they're kind of like tumors made of hair.
*This makes it very confusing for people trying to perform brain surgery on rodeo clowns.
*Luckily, this almost never happens. One of the side effects of rodeo madness is that it makes you not trust doctors.|attack=?|defense=?|hp=?}}
{{ManuelEntry|menacing thug|*Thugs are referred to by that term, because that's the sound their clubs make when they hit people in the head.
*Remember how your mom said you should just ignore bullies, and they'll leave you alone? Yeah that is a total crock.
*If you find yourself being menaced by thugs, don't forget to stop, drop, and roll! ...Wait, no, maybe that's fire.|hp=75}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin alphabetizer|*The Mer-kin have two hundred words for salt water, and no words for "thank you."
*The Mer-kin alphabet song takes three hours to sing. It's still to the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," though.
*The Mer-kin alphabetizer's glasses aren't prescription. There aren't even any lenses in them. He just thinks they make him look smarter.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin baker|*Mer-kin cuisine is ranked extremely high by Opposite Day Food Review Magazine.
*Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, when evaluating a Mer-kin restaurant, once said "Glurrbb glarrrb choke sputter, help me, I'm drowning!"
*In the last couple of decades, food allergies have been significantly more common than they were before. Mer-kin food has always been pure poison, though, so everybody is allergic to it and always has been.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin balldodger|*Mer-kin poison is made from concentrated blowfish neurotoxin, which is so deadly it can burn out your nervous system and destroy your brain faster than your nerves can send the message that you just got poked with something sharp. This is a real thing.
*Fortunately, Mer-kin don't usually waste the really good poison on dumb air-breathing adventurers.
*Mer-kin dodgeballs are terrible for playing four-square, because the spikes cause them to bounce unpredictably.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin bladeswitcher|*The Mer-kin switchblade takes a few minutes to learn, but a lifetime to master, especially now that you're missing half your fingers.
*Other weapons invented by Stevebob "Three-fingers" McGee include the Eyestab and the Brainwhip, and they're all about as pleasant as they sound.
*Mer-kin switchblade matches used to be held in small back rooms, but too many spectators were getting filleted.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin burglar|*A good Mer-kin burglar can steal the shell off a hermit crab and the spines off a sea urchin.
*Most Mer-kin burglars don't steal to survive or to get rich. They steal your stuff so you don't have it anymore. Jerks.
*The Mer-kin takebag is somehow bigger on the inside than the outside. That'd be remarkable if it didn't exist in a world where you can carry hundreds of weapons in your inventory.|attack=650|defense=720|hp=650|image=merkinburglar.gif}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin diver|*Mer-kin undergo special training to be able to swin comfortably in the deepest, highest-pressure waters. This training involves being hit with hammers until the recruit is willing to put up with just about anything in order to not have to train any more.
*The harsh (even cruel) training that mer-kin undergo results in a deep bond among squadmates. Nothing spells 'teamwork' like getting together to beat the holy hell out of the drill sergeant after graduation.
*The mer-kin are perpetually prepared for war, despite there not really being any other tribes nearby that are worth warring with. This leaves them with what as{{sic}} known as "military blue-balls", which only makes them angrier and more warlike.|attack=475|defense=427|hp=700|image=merkindiver.gif}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin drifter|*If drifters drift, then what do hoboes do? (Answer: they sleep in freight cars.)
*Mer-kin drifters do not literally drift -- they are able to swim under their own power, and can resist normal ocean currents with ease.
*Due to the strict, rigorously warlike nature of Mer-Kin society, it may be surprising that drifters are permitted to exist. It's actually due to the fact that the waiting list for executions is longer than the military's capacity to store the prisoners.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin healer|*Mer-kin healing spells tend to make people of other races uncomfortable, because they itch really ''really'' badly. Fortunately, mer-kin are raging xenophobes, so the issue doesn't come up much.
*Mer-kin healing spells are a relatively recent development; previously, mer-kin healing rituals were limited to a simple incantation, loosely translatable as "Suck it up!"
*Mer-kin also believe that, if a soldier was any good, he wouldn't have gotten injured in the first place. However, healing a wounded soldier is a lot more efficient than training up an entirely new replacement.|attack=650|defense=585|hp=600|image=merkinhealer.gif}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin juicer|*A Mer-kin juicer can bench press six times his own body weight, which is less impressive when you're under water.
*The Mer-kin Athletics League tried to outlaw "the juice," but the Mer-kin lawmaker's process was subverted by Mer-kin politicianlobbiers.
*Other side effects of "the juice" include engorged gills, loss of scale iridescence, and fluke holes.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin miner|*The Mer-kin miner sells his ores to the local orehouse, then adds a 'w' and an 'h' to spend the proceeds.
*Mer-kin are so pretentious that they pronounce "ingot" "in-goh."
*Mer-kin miner's daughters usually go into the music industry or the baby-having industry or both.|attack=450|defense=405|hp=750|image=merkinminer.gif}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin monitor|*Mer-kin monitors frequently get burned out and have to go on vacation; you could say they have a high refresh rate.
*Older Mer-kin monitors can only see 16 colors, but new ones can see about 2.6 million.
*Mer-kin hall monitors are authorized to use deadly force to keep order, but they almost never do. Well, certainly not twice in a day or anything.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin netdragger|*The Mer-kin dragnet used to be lined with feathers, but the combination of tar and feathers was deemed too humiliating, even for Mer-kin.
*Mer-kin netdraggers start out training with a net covered in jam, then move up to honey, glue, and finally tar.
*Mer-kin netdraggers keep the net from sticking to them by covering their torsos in whale blubber. So, y'know, don't hug them.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin poseur|*A Mer-kin treadmill consists of a strong current to swim against, and a bar to hold onto in case you get tired.
*Mer-kin poseurs spend a lot of money on their workout gear, so it seems a shame to get it all sweaty.
*Mer-kin poseurs are always scrupulously physically fit, but no one's sure how they get that way.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin punisher|*Mer-kin schools are, not surprisingly, incredibly strict. Don't get caught passing notes, or you'll be forced to read them aloud in front of the class. Without your skin.
*Mer-kin educators decided that corporal punishment wasn't enough to keep their students in line, and upgraded it to 2nd lieutenant punishment.
*Naturally, mer-kin students really hate their teachers and school. This is more or less the entire point.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin raider|*Mer-kin raids kill bugs dead. And, y'know, anything else that gets in their way.
*Mer-kin coordinate their raids with raider RADAR.
*Mer-kin raiders are even more deadly than Mer-kin steelers and cowboys, but less so than the Mer-kin giants (nerds: that's a football joke. Foreigners: that's an American football joke).|attack=750|defense=585|hp=800|image=merkinraider.gif}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin researcher|*The Ancient Elder God of Hate doesn't answer prayers, unless they're "please destroy me and my entire family and/or civilization."
*Mer-kin researchers wear special goggles to shield their brains from the insanity-inducing effects of ancient unholy texts.
*The Ancient God of Hate came into being when the Ancient God of Fear and the Ancient God of Anger got busy, way back in the day.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin rustler|*Mer-kin rustlers usually wear armor made out of plastic bags, the better to rustle.
*Mer-kin rustlers favorite activity is jumping in piles of autumn leaves.
*Mer-kin rustlers take forever to open Crimbo pressies, since they can't stop crumpling the paper.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin scavenger|*Mer-kin scavengers trade their goods for upgrades to their hookspears and takebags. It's a vicious cycle, really.
*It's technically illegal to scavenge in the Mer-kin territory, but rules don't apply to jerks with big sharp spears.
*Mer-kin scavengers all learn to play the underwater harmonica, which is about as difficult as you'd might think.|attack=450|defense=405|hp=600}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin specter|*Mer-kin kids are not allowed to graduate from elementary school until they demonstrate sufficient skill at bullying other Mer-kin kids.
*Since every Mer-kin kid is a bully, it is often very difficult for them to find someone to bully.
*As such, Mer-kin kids will often paint a face on a watermelon and bully it, just for practice.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin teacher|*The Mer-kin teacher makes a crappy salary, gets no respect, and is losing her pension and benefits. But at least she can't get fired!
*Mer-kin education reform is always a hot-button issue in Mer-kin elections. So it's a good idea the Mer-kin are a monarchy and never hold elections.
*Mer-kin education is tricky since the curriculum includes the phrase "Hey! Teacher! Leave those kids alone!"}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin tippler|*Mer-kin tipplers must drink at least an ounce of spirits, or 12 ounces of beer an hour to maintain their inebriated state.
*Mer-kin tipplers have to adjust their drinking for various atmospheric pressures. Those who train closer to the surface are titans of booze down in the depths.
*Mer-kin tipplers frequently get arrested for swimming while intoxicated.|attack=600|defense=360|hp=750|image=merkintippler.gif}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mer-kin trainer|*The Mer-kin trainer was almost the third alternate bladethrower for the Mer-kin Olympic Team, and he won't ever stop talking about it.
*The Mer-kin trainer eats a strict diet of seaweed and bottom-feeding fish. I mean, so do all Mer-kins, but he eats *way* more.
*The Mer-kin trainer's favorite thing is winning, and his least favorite thing is fatties.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mercenary of Fortune|*The mercenary of fortune doesn't care who he's working for, as long as they pay up front.
*The best technique for fighting a mercenary of fortune is to offer him a raise to join your side.
*Mercenaries of fortune don't take checks or credit, though, so you'd better have plenty of meat on hand.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Mesmerizing Penguin|*One actually has to have a ''strong'' will, not a weak one, to be hypnotized. It requires a lot of concentration and the willing to make an ass out of yourself in front of your friends.
*Mesmerizing Penguins are getting less popular since Acunpuncture{{sic}} Penguins started using hair-thin needles instead of daggers.
*If the pocketwatch doesn't work, the Mesmerizing Penguin also has an umbrella with a spiral painted on it. But that thing will probably give you a splitting headache.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
{{ManuelEntry|mesquito|*There is no secret easter-egg where you horribly birth a mesquito familiar, sorry.
*Wood smoke doesn't make mesquitos sleepy, like bees. If anything it's the opposite.
*Another well-known relative of the mayonnaise wasp and mesquito is the catsupillar, which is nearly extinct due to spelling.}}
{{ManuelEntry|messenger RNA|*Messenger RNA is made out of the same chemicals that the CIA uses to put mind control waves into chemtrails.
*Messenger RNA is what JFK used to fake his own death.
*Messenger RNA doesn't really exist, it's just a myth made up by Stanley Kubrick under orders from the government.}}
{{ManuelEntry|Met|*The first hard hats weren't actually very good at protecting the head of their wearer. They were just called that because they're hard to put on.
*The ability to fire round pixel bullets from various orifices is a trait that hundreds of species of video game enemy independently evolved.
*This monster is called a Met because it hates the Yankees.|attack=20|defense=20|hp=20}}
{{ManuelEntry|Metaphysical Gastronomist|*Did you know that Metaphysical Gastronomists often communicate by asking questions that start with "Did you know?"
*It's difficult to decide whether to invite a Metaphysical Gastronomist to a party or not, because while they make great snacks, they are also absolutely insufferable dorkwads.
*Metaphysical Gastronomists often start their careers late in life, because they have to go to regular school, culinary school, and wizard school.|attack=0|defense=0|hp=0}}
