Black Puddings dissolve wood, corrode metal at a reasonably fast rate, have no effect on stone, and cause three dice of damage to exposed flesh. It is spread into smaller ones by chops or lightening bolts, but is killed by fire. It does two dice of damage to exposed flesh for every turn it is in contact with it.ДЄnd since it references it, hereвЂ™s Black Pudding:ДЄnother member of the clean-up crew and nuisance monster, Black Puddings are not affected by cold. It does not harm wood or stone, but it corrodes metal at the same rate that Black Pudding does. It will not be spread by non-harmful weapons, but it is subject only to lightening bolts or cuts and chops by weaponry, for it is impervious to cold or fire.
