  Mulefa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The mulefa are a race of beings who inhabit a parallel Earth in the novel The Amber Spyglass, the third part of the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman.
The mulefa are sentient beings who evolved in a radically different fashion to humans.
The most-notable feature of the mulefa is their use of large circular seeds from their world's "seed-pod trees" to travel around their countryside; the seeds fit neatly onto a spur on their legs when the beings reach a certain age.

 SparkNotes: His Dark Materials: The Amber Spyglass
According to mulefa lore, 30,000 years ago, a snake told a female zalif to put her claw through one of the seedpod wheels and coat it with oil.
For the mulefa, as for Lyra’s people, the first female’s fall is not the introduction of sin, but the beginning of all knowledge, all awareness, and everything good.
The mulefa show the Gyptians where the dead escaped and tell the Gyptians they are planning to plant a grove of seedpod trees around it, because it is a sacred place.

 The Language of the Mulefa   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The mulefa themselves are trunked creatures, similar in this respect to elephants, and the movement of these trunks is used to express meaning.
By analysing the few words of the language given in the text, and the mulefa’s rendering of various English words, it is possible to draw up a vague representation of a sound system.
For the mulefa, trunk movements are also an important ‘phonological’ aspect.

The Mulefa seem quite peaceful in the books, their only enemies being large birds that come in from the sea on occasion and ravage their town.
However, the Mulefa usually just ride away during these attacks, and have not been known to fight.
Mary Malone lived with the Mulefa for a time, and learned to communicate with them by making the grunting noises, and moving her arm in the same movements made by the mulefa trunk.

The mulefa are sentient creatures but look somewhat similar to elephants except they have a diamond shaped torso that allows them to ride on wheels (a cool thought experiment to be sure).
It is during her time with the mulefa that Mary discovers a method for viewing dust - The Amber Spyglass.
As the mulefa had shown her, Dust came into being when living things became conscious of themselves; but it needed some feedback system to reinforce it and make it safe, as the mulefa had their wheels and the oil from the trees.

The Mulefa were not important, the same thing could have worked if there had been humans on the planet, and time would not have been wasted on their strange culture.
The mulefa were fascinating and if it were simply humans there it would be quite frankly boring.
But the second time I read it, I realized now beautiful it was, the peace and grace and simplicity of their culture with the backround of Lyra and Will, in a war-torn life.

Thus Dr Malone's role is rendered pointless, as much as i found her relationship with the mulefa interesting.
I really dont understand how the book can lead up to the idea of a temptation, in which Lyra, we are told, will have the poweer of choosing the destiny of mankind and then it never happens...it can't be justified.

I was about to say, "They're very Californian, the mulefa." [laughs] They stand for a state of happy fulfillment in the physical processes of life--they manage their world completely--because they have what we call consciousness.
They impose certain things on their world, but unlike human beings, who impose agricultural chemicals and nuclear power and so forth, the mulefa go about it in a gentler way, respecting the integrity of the things that they're dealing with.
For example, in order to build their houses, they actually grow the wood into the shape they want it to be, rather than cutting it down and planing it and sawing it and chopping it.

Many more characters and scenes are introduced in this volume -- angels, Gallivespians, assassins, deaths, harpies, mulefa and their world, the world of the dead -- giving it a vast sprawling aspect.
With the introduction of the mulefa and their evolutionarily odd but plausible world, the book takes a near-SF tone.
Apparently Pullman has been reading Stephen Jay Gould.
