I'm tempted to make it "Environment: Any temperate or arctic land and underground", since this seems to be a "generic pudding" and AD&D has puddings, slimes and jellies that live in everything from frozen forests to sweltering deserts. The arctic land makes sense, considering its immunity to cold.What do you think?EDIT: I'm also wondering about giving it camouflage colouration that provides a racial bonus to Hide in its current environment. I know the original write-up did not mention this, but some AD&D Deadly Puddings had this feature (e.g. the arctic White Pudding resembled a snowdrift, the desert-dwelling Dun Pudding was khaki-coloured and I imagine the swamp-loving Brown Pudding looked like a mudslick. Maybe something like:Camouflage (Ex)Deadly puddings are of a colour and texture matching the ground of their native environment, so an arctic-dwelling pudding looks like a snowdrift, a swamp-dwelling one resembles a mudslick, a desert-dwellin pudding appears as a khaki pile of dried earth, and so on. It takes a DC 15 Spot check to notice a deadly pudding which matches the terrain. If a deadly pudding moves from one terrain type to the other it can change its appearance to match its new habitat, this process takes about a week.A character can use their bonus in Knowledge (nature) or Survival instead of Spot for the skill check to notice a camouflaged deadly pudding.</blockquote>
