edited intro, mentioning its existence as the magic equivalent of flattone; also muggloid is kinda exo and useless since 45/44, 65/64 are well justified in the same way as for flattone

Muggles is the rank-2 temperament tempering out 126/125, the starling comma, and 525/512, Avicenna's enharmonic diesis. It is an alternative 7-limit extension to magic and can be described as the 16 & 19 temperament; 16edo, 35edo, and 54edo with the flat-fifth b val all are muggles tunings. As a tuning noted for having both very flat 3rd and 5th harmonics, and supported by 19edo, it is very analogous to flattone. Similarly to flattone, muggles can extend well to the 13-limit by equating 5/4 to both 11/9 and 16/13, thereby tempering out 45/44 and 65/64.

This temperament was named by Gene Ward Smith in 2003[1].
