The Pudding King (Dungeons and Dragons)

The Pudding King is an antagonist featured in Dungeons and Dragons. He was once a Svirfneblin (a deep gnome), but was kicked out of his community and became one of Juiblex's thralls. He is a boss in the campaign Out of the Abyss, being encountered in Blingdenstone.

Personality
Before he became the Pudding King, this unfortunate deep gnome was a crazy, strange person. He tended to keep food until that food rotted, and then talked to the rotten food. After he was kicked out of his community, he later found kinship with the oozes. After he bumped into the Faceless Lord, he made a turn for the worst...

The Pudding King swore fealty to Juiblex, and became a demonic psychopath. No longer the Svirfneblin he once was, he readied the oozes to surge forth and destroy all he had lost, forming a mass of goo in the image of his master.

Biography
This deep gnome was one of the settlers in Blingdenstone. He spent his time playing with the oozes that lurked there. His actions soon lead to his downward spiral to villainy, when he was caught and kicked out.

Betrayed (as he believed), the deep gnome ventured out. Soon, he and two oozes met up. He believed he was their father, then took them in, making them his consorts. He and the oozes then encounter Juiblex. Juiblex then asked that his new "guest" follow him, and then the gnome became the Pudding King.

The Pudding King and his consorts, Princess Ebonmire and Prince Livid, then took control of the city's government building, using that building as their base. Eventually, a party of adventurers who broke out of Velkynvelve stage a raid on the Pudding King's court. Blingdenstone then joins on on their (the adventurers) side, and eventually the Pudding King and his oozes are defeated.

Powers
The Pudding King has access to dangerous, foul magic. He can summon green slimes to crush his foes, and can also turn into an ooze. He still has his old self's War Pick, but he rarely uses it.

Trivia

 * In the textbook for the adventure, the Pudding King dissolves into dense goop. However, he is shown to revert to his humanoid form in his stat block, which contradicts what happened in the adventure.
