Mother Mallum, originally known as Mahey'ish Medron, 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. 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.
At the end of Kennith's Concerns, after the player calms Kennith down, Kennith says that the queen is 'coming for you'.
[edit] Trivia
- 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. (Its ability is to control opponent units.)
- Mother Mallum could be in a quest in the 'Penguin Series' due to the fact that you need to finish 'Slug Menace' to start Hunt for Red Raktuber.
