The glob is an item introduced in version 3.6.0 of NetHack, replacing corpses as the remains of the black pudding, brown pudding, gray ooze and green slime. Monsters that leave globs will not drop any other items besides the ones in their inventory at the time of death.

Effects

Globs 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. The glob of black pudding will additionally break vegetarian conduct when eaten, as a pun on the blood sausage dish sometimes being called "black pudding".

Globs of green slime will only cause sliming if eaten; the rest have a chance to convey a random intrinsic resistance.

Strategy

Globs replacing corpses makes pudding farming far less effective, thus rendering it obsolete as a farming strategy in post-3.4.3 versions of NetHack and variants based on them.

History

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

Variants

Many variants are based on 3.4.3, and as such some of them do not have globs.
