Acidic (ex, Acid) - The Black Pudding secretes a digestive acid that dissolves organic material and metal quickly but does not affect stone. A metal or wooden weapon that strikes the creature takes 2d6 acid damage unless the weapon's wielder succeeds on a Dex save. If a wooden or metal object remains in contact for 1 full round, it takes 21 points of acid damage (no save).
Split (ex) - Slashing and piercing weapons deal no damage to the Black Pudding. Instead, it splits into two identical forms, each with half of the original's current hit points (round down). Pieces of the orignal continue to split until they have less than 10 hit points. Each piece dies at 0 hit points.
Attacks
- Melee (Natural) - 1 x slam +8 (2d6+4 plus 2d6 acid plus grab). Reach: 10 ft. Constrict - Each time the Black Pudding successfully hits an opponent, it can make a grapple check as a free action to see if it holds its opponent. If successful, the creature is grappled. On any successful grapple check (including this initial one) the target automatically takes bludgeoning damage equal to the damage typically dealt by this attack. Corrosion - Each time a creature suffers damage from the Black Pudding's acid it must make a Dex save or its clothing and armor take the same amount of damage from the acid. If the creature is grappled by the Black Pudding, it takes disadvantage on this Dex save. Grab - Each time this attack is successful, the Black Pudding can make a grapple check as a free action to see if it holds his opponent. If successful, the opponent is grappled. Grabbing does not provoke an attack of opportunity

This black, amorphous blob piles up on itself, a quivering mound of midnight sludge that glistens darkly before surging forward.
