One of Papua New Guinea's many tribes - 'the Mudmen' - have been
highly feared by their adversaries through the centuries. Their warriors
cover their skin with white mud and they wear large white masks made of
clay. In an attack they create smoke, and slowly and silently they
would appear, creating intense fear and superstition among their
enemies.
