The glob is an item introduced in NetHack 3.6.0, replacing corpses for the black pudding, brown pudding, gray ooze and green slime. Globs were added to make pudding farming less effective; they differ from corpses in that like types of globs merge into larger globs with greater nutrition, and cannot be sacrificed. All globs are acidic to eat and break vegan conduct; they can become tainted and cause food poisoning, just as corpses do, but will never fully rot away.

Only globs of black pudding will also break vegetarian conduct when eaten (as a pun on the blood sausage dish sometimes being called "black pudding"). Globs of green slime will cause sliming if eaten; the rest have a chance to convey a random intrinsic resistance.

History

In NetHack 3.6.0, globs could not give resistances when eaten. This was fixed in 3.6.1.

Variants

Since most variants are based on NetHack 3.4.3, they do not have globs; monsters that leave globs in vanilla leave corpses instead.

A user has suggested improving this page or section as follows:

"List notable exceptions to the variant rule?"
