A brown pudding:

| Reference | monst.c#line1829 |
A brown pudding, P, is an amoeboid monster that appears in NetHack. Its bite deals no damage, but will cause organic armor to decay, and like the black pudding it will divide when hit by an iron weapon.
Eating globs of brown pudding breaks vegan conduct.
Generation
Brown puddings will leave behind a glob of brown pudding upon death.
Strategy
The brown pudding is fairly easy to dispose of, with its primary danger lying in its bites degrading you or your humanoid pet's non-metallic armor. This can be easily avoided by any combination of wearing metal armor, covering your body armor with a throwaway cloak, or simply removing any organic armor. For pets, tame unarmored monster such as dogs and cats can freely dispose of a brown pudding.
History
In NetHack 3.4.3 and prior versions, as well as variants based on those versions, brown puddings were a target of pudding farming strategies, as they could be split and then killed for their corpses and death drops, or else tamed (e.g. via the scroll of taming or spell of charm monster) and then polymorphed to amass an army of pets. They were less commonly farmed compared to black puddings, which can be reliably generated by kicking a sink.
Starting in NetHack 3.6.0, brown puddings leave globs instead of corpses when they are killed; this was done to make pudding farming much less useful, as globs cannot be sacrificed, revived or tinned. In NetHack 3.6.1, a bug was fixed that prevented globs from giving resistances when eaten.
