-The black pudding is considered a fleshy monster, and eating black puddings breaks [[vegan]] and [[vegetarian]] conduct.

The black pudding is [[eyeless]], [[amorphous]] and [[sessile]] like most [[pudding]]s and [[amoeboid]]s, and its body is [[acidic]]. A black pudding will [[divide]] if it has more than 1 [[HP]] and is hit, but not killed, by a [[polearm]] or any other [[iron]] or [[metal]] melee weapon (with the exception of a [[lance]] that breaks when jousting).{{refsrc|src/uhitm.c|1208|version=NetHack 3.6.7}}{{refsrc|src/mhitm.c|410|version=NetHack 3.6.7}}{{refsrc|src/mhitu.c|1031|version=NetHack 3.6.7}}{{refsrc|src/makemon.c|805|version=NetHack 3.6.7}}
 ==Generation==
-[[Kicking]] a [[sink]] has a chance of generating a black pudding; only one can be produced per sink.
+Randomly generated black puddings are always created hostile. Pudding division does not respect [[extinction]].
-Black puddings drop a [[glob of black pudding]] upon death.

 ==Strategy==
-Black puddings can be encountered early in the game via sinks, and their low speed makes their powerful bite easily avoidable, providing a tempting source of experience for early characters - especially those with [[ranged attack]]s. However, in addition to taking damage and possibly injuring your leg, this may also summon a [[foocubus]], whose interference could leave you unarmored and vulnerable to the pudding's bite as well as other nearby monsters.

-Characters fighting black puddings in general should protect their armor and weapons&mdash;[[rustproof]] any iron armor and weapons you plan to use for the long-term, and use a [[cloak]] or [[robe]] to cover your body armor if you have one available. You can also step away and remove the armor in question if this would not impact your AC too much, or else wear a substitute junk item (e.g. a non-cursed +0 orcish helm) if possible. As for weapons, you can also use disposable projectiles such as [[rock]]s or [[darts]], or non-corroding weapons such as [[elven dagger]]s or a [[silver saber]].

-As splitting a pudding halves their HP, each split produces weaker ones until the pudding dies from hit point loss; they still retain their bite attack's power, however. If things threaten to get out of hand, kill the newer puddings first before they have time to regenerate. With significant care, splitting puddings this way can be used to obtain several globs of black pudding for intrinsics - remember that adjacent globs on the floor will coalesce into one, as will globs added to your open inventory if one is already present there.

 ==History==
-The black pudding first appears in [[NetHack 3.0.0]]. From this version to [[NetHack 3.4.3]], including some variants derived from these versions, killing black puddings left normal corpses and [[death drop]]s, which could be eaten to provide useful intrinsics or [[sacrifice]]d for a variety of gains. The above, combined with their ability to divide, lead to the infamous practice of [[pudding farming]]; [[Nethack 3.6.0]] introduced globs as death drops for the [[pudding or ooze]] [[monster class]], making this practice ineffective and pointless - see that article for more information. Some variants of ''NetHack'' created before the introduction of globs may implement their own means of weakening the farming method or outright preventing it.
+The black pudding first appears in [[NetHack 3.0.0]].  From this version to [[NetHack 3.4.3]], including variants based on those versions, black puddings leave behind [[corpse]]s upon death, making them a target of [[pudding farming]] strategies: they can be split and then killed for their corpses and [[death drop]]s, or else subjected to [[taming]] and then polymorphed to amass an army of pets; this is also true of [[brown pudding]]s, which are less commonly farmed since black puddings can be reliably generated by kicking a [[sink]].
-Globs of black pudding in NetHack 3.6.0 could not give resistances when eaten, due to a bug that was fixed in [[NetHack 3.6.1]].
+Starting in [[NetHack 3.6.0]], black puddings leave globs instead of corpses when they are killed, which is done to make pudding farming much less useful since globs cannot be sacrificed, revived or tinned. A bug that prevents globs from giving resistances when eaten is fixed in [[NetHack 3.6.1]].

 Black puddings can consume various types of metal and other usually-organic matter, but prefer living and breathing targets; they attack by grabbing and constricting prey directly into their amorphous mass. Like other oozes, they secrete a deadly acidic substance which strongly and quickly dissolves weapons, clothing, and organic tissue alike. A black pudding splits into two smaller puddings when slashed or pierced, and all split puddings will split under the same conditions until the resulting puddings are too small and weak to continue dividing.
 ==Variants==
 ===SLASH'EM===
-In [[SLASH'EM]], black puddings never leave [[death drop]]s, but they still drop normal corpses which can provide [[poison resistance]] (22%), [[cold resistance]] (22%) and [[shock resistance]] (22%). Pudding farming is still viable for sacrifice fodder and the aforementioned intrinsics.
+In [[SLASH'EM]], black puddings have [[death resistance]], leave corpses upon death (though they do not produce death drops) and [[Hits creatures as +x weapon|hit as +2 weapons]]. They are not generated in [[Gehennom]].
