Mother Mallum



Mother Mallum, originally known as Mahey'ish Medron (Jorral calls her both Mahey'ish Medron and Mahey'sh Medron, probably a typo), is the queen of the sea slugs and plans to take over Gielinor. She already has control of most of the Fishing Platform and most of Witchaven. She first revealed herself to the world when the Slug Menace Quest was released. During the God Wars, at least 4000 years ago, she emerged from the ocean. Seeing the chaos, she tried to take an advantage of it, possessing numerous combatants including the same corpse used over the millennia (shown). However, she was stopped by the Temple Knights, who sealed her behind a magical door. Unfortunately, in Slug Menace, the player is tricked into opening that door using some specially crafted runes. It appears that she communicates with an empty human body and during the last part of the Slug Menace Quest she tries to obtain the body of the adventurer who had inadvertently freed her (to communicate with), though at the last minute the adventurer was saved by Savant who teleported him/her out of the cave.

Trivia

 * In the first book of the Wardstone Chronicles series, there is a witch called "Mother Malkin" who is a witch slug.
 * Mother Mallum And Captain Marlin may have a link, and possibly a team, as Captain Marlin has a slug on his head. Captin_Marlin_chathead.png
 * The name "Mallum", translated from Latin, means "of evil", thus making her, quite appropriately, the mother of evil.
 * In the FunOrb game Armies of Gielinor, set during the God Wars, one of Zamorak's monsters is a sea slug, although it resembles Mother Mallum more than it resembles the common sea slug.
 * Interestingly enough, In Postbag from the Hedge, Mother Mallum states "It is tiring, for this world is more populous than any other we have encountered...", implying that she may have conquered worlds other than Gielinor in the past.
 * Mother Mallum bears some resemblance to Mother Brain, a primary antagonist of the Metroid video game series. Both characters contain the title "Mother" in their name, have some sort of psychich connection with a parasitic species (sea slugs and Metroids), and have malevolent plans for their respective game uinverse.  Whether these similarities are intentional or purely coincidental is unclear.
