 Most of the puddings and oozes use bite attacks and are capable of inducing [[erosion]] in certain materials, either actively with their bites or passively via contact with their bodies. The green slime is the exception in both cases: it uses a touch attack and does not affect the materials of weapons or worn armor in favor of [[Sliming|turning a character themselves into slime]].
