-While globs of pudding are not as easily farmed as corpses of puddings are in [[NetHack 3.4.3]] and previous versions, they are still somewhat farmable and can make for a viable source of intrinsics. In particular, a decently strong [[hero]] can try [[kicking]] [[sink]]s to generate black puddings if they have trouble obtaining a source of poison resistance or other applicable intrinsic: they can then use disposable weapons to carefully split them and kill the cloned puddings for globs, and eating each glob separately without allowing them to merge increases the odds of obtaining the desired resistance.

-All globs break the [[vegan]] [[conduct]] when [[eaten]] and share the same base [[cost]] of 6[[zm]], a base [[weight]] of 20 [[aum]] and a base [[nutrition]] value of 20 - as they are not corpses, they cannot be used for sacrifice. Globs are [[acidic]] to [[eat]] and will therefore cure [[stoning]] when bitten into; they can become tainted and cause [[food poisoning]] just as corpses do, but will never fully rot away. Globs that are not of green slime can grant a set of [[intrinsic]] [[resistance]]s depending on the glob.

-A '''glob''' is an item introduced in version [[3.6.0]] of ''[[NetHack]]'', replacing [[corpse]]s as the remains of [[black pudding]]s, [[brown pudding]]s, [[gray ooze]]s, and [[green slime]]s. Monsters that leave globs will not [[Death drop|drop any other items]] besides the ones in their inventory at the time of death.
