Pudding (slime)

Puddings are flattened hemispheres of rubbery stuff, best described as an angry pile of territorial biceps. More goon than goo, puddings are the beach bullies of the slime world, focusing on bashing enemies with their bodies.Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 2: Icky Goo, p.13-14 The most common pudding is black, but other variations exist.DFRPG: Monsters, p.46
== Flavors of Pudding ==
"Locally adapted puddings" are particularly dangerous, as their main weakness (their average move speed) becomes a strength, as their foes are likely slowed down by sand, snow, mud, or deep water. (See Movement Point Costs!)

There are rumors of a "Mirrored" pudding that appears dark, but shifts into a glittering, reflective surface that reflects energy attacks, as well as dazzling light and gaze attacks.
== Door Bashing ==
Puddings are powerful! They do about 4d+4 crushing on an attack, or 4d+8 (average 22) when making all-out attacks on doors or obstacles that they can't simply slip around. Anything short of an extra-heavy ironbound door (DR 30) will eventually break down.
== Ecology ==
Puddings are effectively an apex predator in any biome they appear in. Their only real worry is being subject to massive amounts of cutting or crushing damage, such as being trampled by a herd of elephants, or being torn up by a massive dragon. They can slip through narrow gaps, but are still animals, and may be tricked into trapping itself. Note that Magic Resistance doesn't mean it can bypass magical locks and seals unless it can bash them apart! 
Perhaps there's no djinn or demon inside that sealed brass vessel, but a very old Pudding.
