The Asaro Tribe, or better known as the Asaro Mudmen of Papua New Guinea, are a unique group of people with unique practices. Legend has it that they were defeated by an enemy tribe and forced to flee into the Asaro River waiting until dusk before attempting to escape. They rose from the muddy banks covered in clay, and returned to their village not knowing the enemy tribesmen were still there. The enemy were so terrified of their ghost-like appearance they fled in terror.
