Clayman

In both Mother 3 and Mother 3.5, the Claymen serve as the workforce of the Pig Army. Claymen are a blend of clay with a metal rod stuck in at the top. When the rod is charged with a powerful shock of electricity, the Clayman will take shape and be filled with energy. After working for a while, they loose energy and sink down slowly until recharged. Claymen aren't only used for building and digging- in Mother 3, Duster was attacked by a Clayman some Pigmasks set on him! After Claymen break down, they take themselves to an adjacent dump truck so that they can melt away in the dump. However, some become "Zombie Claymen" afterwards, such as the "Forlorn Junk Heap" boss in Mother 3. It had the ability to combine itself with other bits of trash and scrap metal to form a horrifying monster.
The Clayman is first encountered as a mini-boss of sorts early in the game, and becomes a regular but tough enemy for a short time afterwards.
