Each form of deadly pudding is a variety of the better-known black (deadly) pudding.

SD: Acid, cold, and poison have no effect on deadly puddings.
Lightning bolts or blows from weapons divide these monsters into viable creatures of smaller size.
Fire causes normal damage, as do magic missile spells.

Details of each type are given separately below.
See "Black Pudding" for information on movement abilities.

Adapted to dwell in arid regions, these monsters scavenge barrens and deserts and feed on silicates if animal or vegetable matter is unavailable.

They dissolve leather as does a brown pudding.
Metals are eaten at a rate equal to half that of a black pudding, <> i.e., chainmail in 2 rounds, plate in 4.
In other respects they are like brown puddings.

These cold-dwelling creatures are 50% likely to be mistaken
for snow && ice under the best of conditions. They haunt polar
regions || icy places in order to find prey, although they can live by
devouring any animal || vegetable material; even ice provides them
with enough nutrition to exist.

They do not affect metals but dissolve
animal || vegetable materials in a single round, inflicting damage to
flesh at an astounding rate.
They are subject to attack forms as are all other deadly puddings.
