A black pudding is a subterranean scavenger common throughout the Darklands. A gigantic, formless, black blob of acidic protoplasm, it easily dissolves organic matter on touch, even eating away at metal at a somewhat slower rate.¹

On Golarion

Sightings of these dreaded oozes are common throughout Golarion. Some known locations include the caverns and tunnels beneath the Varisian city of Kaer Maga,² the dungeons below Drelev Keep in the River Kingdoms,³ in the much deeper Darklands recesses of Sekamina and Orv (especially in the Midnight Mountains),⁴⁵ but also occasionally above ground in places such as the abandoned elven city of Celwynvian,⁶ Kyonin's demon-infested Tanglebriar,⁷ the island ruins of Nal-Kashel off the western coast of Cheliax,⁸ and in Varisia's Mushfens.⁹ Extraplanar locations where black puddings have been spotted include Erebus in Hell,¹⁰ and locations with close connections to the Dark Tapestry.¹¹
