Ash's Muk is an extremely happy and affectionate Pokémon. It is particularly affectionate towards {{an|Professor Oak}} and as a recurring gag first seen in ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]'', it would always smother the Professor whenever Ash would make a call to the [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]].
While in the wild, Muk was very aggressive, as shown by it ordering its {{p|Grimer}} followers to attack and chase down {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} in the power plant where it was first encountered. It was an absolutely violent, vituperative Pokémon, willing to knock down and possibly even devour anyone, human or Pokémon, who stood in its way.
 
However, after its capture, Muk's personality seemed to shift. It became an extremely happy and affectionate Pokémon. It is particularly affectionate towards {{an|Professor Oak}} and as a recurring gag first seen in ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]'', it would always smother the Professor whenever Ash would make a call to the [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]].

Muk's affection also extends to its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, second in enthusiasm only to {{AP|Bayleef}}, despite only having fought for him on three occasions. Muk obligingly crushes Ash in excitement whenever Ash returns to the lab or summons it to his party. Its affection also extends to complete strangers, as was seen when it completely ignored [[Jessie's Lickitung]] in order to hug [[Jessie]], also smothering [[James's Victreebel]] in excitement. It also smothered [[Professor Birch]] upon meeting him in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''. Professor Oak suggests that Muk's overwhelming display of affection is simply because it loves humans.
