Description
Pudding cups are a small clay vessel that a wielder can throw as an attack. Inside is a tiny fragment of a black pudding that will attach to the impact point.
The tiny black pudding will emit corrosive enzymes to attempt to digest its prey. The creature responds to movement and sound it detects via its blindsight and pursues the source.
Heat will easily kill the creature. Cold damage will freeze it allowing the tiny black pudding to be repackaged as a pudding cup.
Most commonly found in the possessions of a goblin slime lord.
