A black pudding with the kaiju template applied to it. This gigantic mass of black ooze slowly creeps along, dissolving and absorbing anything in its path. It can slough off larger-than-normal but otherwise ordinary black puddings, and easily regains the lost material by "eating" everything it dissolves. When it creeps through a city, any buildings in its path are toppled as their foundations are completely eaten away, causing mass destruction. |
