MUCOR aka HADES BEAST BLOB - POWER RANGERS MYSTIC FORCE

Mucor, dans la série Mahou Sentai Magiranger, avale les héros les uns après les autres, mais ils ressortiront par le nez ! Originally from episode 2 of the 2007-2008 series "Mahou Sentai Magiranger", "Bringing Out Courage", Hades Beast Blob (aka Blob the Glutton) was a minion of the Underground Hades Empire Infershia; a cavernous realm in the center of the Earth, where monstrous practitioners of black magic dwell.

 A dimwitted giant with a need to feed constantly, Blob devours the heroic wizards and siblings Kai, Makito, and Urara (the Red, Green, and Blue Magirangers respectively) only to sneeze them out, thanks to their sister Houka (Magi Pink). Blob was then killed by the magical giant robot dubbed Magi Majin.

 Hades Beast Blob made it into the American adaptation "Power Rangers Mystic Force", in episode 3 "Code Busters" (February 27, 2006). Blob's character was more-or-less the same as his Japanese counterpart, but was humorous renamed Mucor...as in mucus or noise boogers, which the monster does greatly resemble.

 Both "Mahou Sentai Magiranger" and "Power Rangers Mystic Force" are heavily inspired by the likes of "Harry Potter" and similar magic-theme fantasy, complete with villains and monsters based around folklore and mythology. However in Mucor's case, he appears to be a homage to the Gelatinous Cube from the "Dungeons and Dragons" franchise. Especially considering the visible skeletal remains of some poor soul, still trapped within the slimy fiend; again, much like the Gelatinous Cube.
