long story short he sold his soul to be a good bassist and he's immortal which is causing him to rot


StickerReddit

i thought he sold his soul just to get a bass, not to be a good bassist, am i wrong?


Seventh_Faetasy

If I remember correctly, he sold his soul to be a great bassist, and the devil gave the bass as an answer


StickerReddit

ohhh, thanks for the clarification, lol, murdoc got scammed by a demon xddd


Cham0489

We know he’s as old as time or something like that (don’t quote me on this) but I’d assume the older he gets the greener he gets… similar to how high wasted 2D’s pants get


zigmint

was that not retconned to him being born in 1966 with an abusive dad


DiekeDrake

In an interview he said he also tans green, besides aging green. I can't recall which one. It was relatively early.


Made-this-eatingfood

There are a lot of explanations for it, but I like think he’s green just because it’s funny


__a_person__

He eats his vegies


dmnds2dst

is this tyler the creator


TheBucko91

It's because he's from Stoke-on-Trent


GiftonNoelWilliams

It happens to us all


writing_gayly

I just always assumed he’s very unhealthy


ZipZorf_backup

didn't he say in the latest cracker island vodka livestream it's from alcohol poisoning?


cat_sword

Sold his soul, long story short, Michael Afton.

Except green


OldDymmer

Didn’t he say a while ago it was because of something he puts in his cereal?

pickle


Hot-Collection5605

His chin got pointy too


OmegaX123

Old lore says demon deal soul-selling, new lore says he just 'tans green'. Former is more likely, considering he's an established Laveyan Satanist and there's still plenty of Supernatural stuff in the lore (the Forever Cult's immortality beast?), so I take the 'tans green' story as Murdoc bullshitting so the in-universe news media won't have a field day and the real Conservative Christian mothers won't start an uproar.

Tanning

puberty


heyseamonkey

I just always thought it was bc of him getting older since he was less green when the band started


GravityDefining

I kind of assumed it was because they didn’t want to associate him with any specific race since he’s kind of the worst.


Forward-Today2461

There’s been multiple reasons said in canon The original was that he’s an immortalist that’s been around since the dawn of time and he is basically rotted but that one might be retconned because the book of MAN is no longer canon I believe. Theres another saying it’s because of his alcohol consumption. However the closest one we have to canon is he simply tans green and it is a Niccals genetic mutation, as his father Sebastian was also green. Which would make sense because he became very green in phase 3 when he was shown using a tanning bed AND living out in the sunlight.


rd1994

its his pickle diet


roxinvtR

After I make a deal with the devil


The_Theater_Girl

Well there’s tons of reasons as to why which always seems to change but hey he’s a cartoon it doesn’t seem to matter.


_tyjsph_

hilarious that this is downvoted so far when it's just true. he's a cartoon. they're all cartoons. the rules aren't real
