QUALITIES

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.
