Endless Realms bestiary - Pudding Ooze
Bestiary artwork for Endless Realms, a D&D-like "pen and paper" fantasy RPG I'm working for.
Oozes have been a standard recurring enemy in fantasy games all over, although in some franchises, they're known instead as puddings or flans, rather than oozes or slimes. So we made a "pudding" that actually appears as a pudding :V It started as a casual "what if?" comment to the art director, but she loved the idea so much she had me do it up :b
So yeah, beware the food mimic! I'm sure cruel DMs will love this one. It's got nothing on the pie fiend, but I still like it ;)

This is to op xD Havin pudding at a party and kill all the guests, find pudding at a store and then the people choke from it and die. It could be poison pudding form the caos good and no one would ever know. So many fun things you can do with this one. You have an issue than slime it xD
Haha, yeah, I have no idea how it works. Imagine if it actually works by letting you eat it, and then it, like, reproduces in your stomach or takes over the host or something? So then you couldn't test your food first by "harming" it, it would actually want to be eaten! Scary :b Food poisoning is the least of our worries!
" Where is it? Behind the Rabbit?"
"Whatdoya mean.. it *IS* the Rabbit!"
" YOU STUPID SOT!"
" wha? "
YOU Got us all worked up over nothing... "
" I Soiled my armor......"
"I"m Telling you it IS THE RABBIT! Fer goodness sake man, LOOK AT THE BONES!"
" OH go on with ya.. All right Borris.. go on, chop it's head off.. "
"...right.. one rabbit stew comin right up.." (utterly famous last words.. )

Why stop there? If you want to give the player a really hard time, then there should be a mimic version of anything. Pudding, treasure chests, candles, doors, floors, swords, coins, gems, cookies, silly hats, party members, beds, socks, pets, silky underwear that grows teeth and bites your butt!
You want paranoid players? Make them enter a room and poke everything in it with a long stick before they do anything? That will be so much fun... Muahahahaha! >:)

We already sort of have a mimic that works that way ;) Instead of being "a monster treasure chest," our mimic is more of a poltergeist, possessing and animating items, meaning it can theoretically possess any inanimate object (provided it's not, like, y'know, already possessed by something else :V).
Although, lol, killer underwear... XD
Haha, that's practically how our Pathfinder campaign is going o_O

Best comedy of P&P dungeon fodder monsters & JRPG monsters ever!
I find it hilarious you can see a bone and eyeball on top of it amidst the plant pieces...
Surprisingly P&P games and video games have an opposite viewpoint on oozes...
The evil people eating oozes in video games are often eaten by people! They are even farmed as livestock in some games...
The same things are completely inedible in P&P games except in alchemy... and are so toxic they consume bone rock and metal...
Computer games and video games tend to be the same with viewpoints... but P&P rarely passes all its traits to other forms of entertainment...

The great thing about this one is that, despite its comedic value, it's still actually a pretty great monster :b
Hehe, glad you could see the bone, too - most people have only mentioned the eyeball (although I suppose it is the most noticeable). To my pleasure, however, a few people have initially mistaken it as a blueberry (made the eye blue specifically for that reason ;b).
*chuckles* Oozes could make sense as pets, guardians or livestock, depending on their nature... I was talking with a person on dA about the mana ooze, saying it could be a great companion depending on how it works. You could wear it, and it'd protect you from spells, turning incoming harmful effects into raw mana for the wearer's use, for instance. Or the fungal ooze could be farmed if the fungus it grew was edible - since it grows so rapidly, you could have a huge harvest with very little time/cost input :3 Or be a decent pet, potentially - instead of having to pick up dog poop or scoop cat litter, you get a nice selection of tasty wild mushrooms XD

Yup... oozes indeed make sense as pets guardians and livestock, but it seems rare many games and P&P series want to include that.
Regardless, I always loved how Dungeons&Dragons made OozeMancers a prestige class for arcane spellcasters, allowing temporary and permanent ooze companions, and how other famous series and lesser known series added their own oddities... the OozeMaster is a nature-tied class dedicated to using both fungus and oozes for a variety of purposes, as companions, weapons, armor, spells, Maj'Eyal is genious for this... lastly... in some games Druids making use of Fungus minions, spells, and items, like Everquest series once tried... is pleasant.
Oozes and fungus are both very similar in that they are genderless, mindless, reproduce without needing partners, can both wield spores, can both be immobile or mobile depending on their form... and both oozes and fungus IRL are quite real in all these aspects.
A bizarre variety of species of fungus that moves as fast as a snail and threatens eating them and other tiny critters composed entirely of gelatin exist across the planet... but they tend to thrive in tropical jungles and forests... some are near extinction... and all have bizarre properties poisonous and otherwise when consumed by people... but none confirmed 'properly medicinal'.
Since these fungal ooze creatures have only been known for a few decades, and thus weren't known to the first fantasy roleplayers and for a few decades by them... its odd what apparently is an ancient mobile fungal collective of species didn't influence gaming or movies in any ways and we created these thoughts originally... but nature made everything we could ever think of before we even began living, so its not as if we could invent originally...

"Summoned directly from The Gallery Of Regrettable Foods, this Flan jiggles menacingly. Perhaps more disturbing are the thoughts that come next...What is it made from? How did the Litch-King's Sous-Chef manage the ingredients to craft such a well-formed Flan all the way out here in the middle of the Infested Blight-Lands? As you contemplate this unknowable food product, the caramel dribbles down its sides with a slow menace."
