The mud of a mudpot takes the form of a viscous, often bubbling, slurry. As the boiling mud is often squirted over the brims of the mudpot, a sort of mini-volcano of mud starts to build up, sometimes reaching heights of 3–5 feet.

When the slurry is particularly colorful, the feature may be referred to as a paint pot. http://www.traveltomachupicchu.org
