The Muddy Hand

The Muddy Hand is a disembodied hand made of mud that appears in one of Rodrick's horror movies entitled "Hello, You're Dead". In it, the Muddy Hand travels the countryside looking for victims to strangle, and the last person who sees it is always the next victim. The film in question frightened Rowley and Greg at the end (where the Muddy Hand strangles its last victim and walks straight at the screen, implying that the viewer will be its next victim.) This made Greg and Rowley become really paranoid that the Muddy Hand was out to get them (despite being a fictional character.) Greg then figures out that since it is just a hand it would take a long time to get to them so they stopped worrying about it. It was only mentioned in Dog Days. In Rodrick Rules, The Foot is used (which is most likely a parody of the Muddy Hand.)

In Fregley's version in Dog Days film,in the wilderness awareness he tells a campfirestory about the Muddy Hand. It is about an old woodsman who choppes off his own hand while chopping wood in the rain

Appearance
The Muddy Hand just looks like an ordinary hand,the only notable difference is that the hand is quite dirty and has black spots that resemble mud,which is the reason why its called the "Muddy Hand".Its also unknown how he kills its victim,its most likley it either strangles its throat or any other body part.

Trivia

 * If the Muddy Hand was not in the book, the plot could have been very different, as Greg and/or Rowley, in specific scenes, would not have been scared and would not have taken the plot-defining actions (such as Rowley smashing Greg's hand with a hammer because he thought it was the Muddy Hand.)
 * In the film, The Muddy Hand was not in a horror movie, but in a campfire story told by Fregley.
