Wood
Wood is a kind of material some weapons and armor are made of, notably elven blades.
Wooden objects are subject to burning and rotting. However, the usual sources of burning and rotting do not affect weapons, so wooden weapons are generally considered naturally erodeproof. It is still possible to burn wooden weapons by dropping them into lava.
Polymorphing into a gelatinous cube will allow you to eat wooden items, which can be very occasionally useful for getting getting otherwise unobtainable intrinsics. Monster gelatinous cubes will also eat wooden items off the ground.
