The main differences are that Muk is larger than Grimer, and has a wider mouth, and smaller eyes. It is also usually shown with its left arm being much larger then the right one. The toxicity of Muk's form has reached the point where a single drop of it can make an entire lake stagnant, and rancid. Its footprints are toxic enough for a person to get flu. Their ability to exist in the environment without it becoming completely hazardous to other lifeforms may be attributed to their ability to actively control their toxins, as they would likely never want to deliberately pollute a river or spread any harmful diseases. As a fully evolved Pokémon, Muk is capable of using the moves Hyper Beam. (Unconfirmed!) This Pokémon likes warm, and moist places. Groups of them accumulate in dirty places, such as garbage dumps or sewers. They sometimes also reside in dirty back alleys of towns. Muk will eat anything that is already contaminated. It appears to be a pile of living sludge. It may be based off of Hedorah, a Godzilla monster who is made out of sludge. Due to his ability to make unlimited amounts of deadly sludge, and air pollution, it quickly became a threat to the entire world. Muk's name seems to be a corruption of "muck."
