Traits

Amorphous. The pudding can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch without expending extra movement to do so.

Corrosive Form. A creature that hits the pudding with a melee attack roll takes 8 (2d8) Acid damage. Nonmagical ammunition is destroyed immediately after hitting the pudding and dealing any damage. Any nonmagical weapon takes a cumulative −1 penalty to attack rolls immediately after dealing damage to the pudding and coming into contact with it. The weapon is destroyed if the penalty reaches −5. The penalty can be removed by casting the Mending spell on the weapon.

In 1 minute, the pudding can eat through 2 feet of nonmagical wood or metal.

Spider Climb. The pudding can climb difficult surfaces, including along ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.

Lightning Weakness. If the ooze takes lightning damage it is affected as if by the Slow spell until the end of its next turn.

 

Actions

 

Multiattack. The ooze makes three attacks, using Dissolving Pseudopod

Dissolving Pseudopod. Melee Attack Roll: +8, reach 15 ft. Hit: 18 (4d6 + 5) Acid damage. Nonmagical armor worn by the target takes a −1 penalty to the AC it offers. The armor is destroyed if the penalty reduces its AC to 10. The penalty can be removed by casting the Mending spell on the armor. On a hit, the target is grappled (escape DC 15) and has the Grappled condition and is pulled 10 feet toward the ooze. The ooze can pull the target each turn 10 feet toward itself. Until the grapple ends the target takes 4d6+5 damage. The ooze can grapple only up to 3 targets at a time. 

 

Bonus Actions

Engulf . As a bonus action, the ooze may try to engulf a creature it has grappled that is within 5 ft of it. It makes a melee attack roll  +8, reach 5 ft. On a hit, the target is pulled inside the ooze's body. At the start of the creatures turn it takes (4d6 + 5) Acid damage and suffers the same weapon and armor destruction effects as the pseudopod. The creature is also restrained, blinded, and suffocating. It needs to make a DC 16 Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check to escape. 

Reactions

Ooze Surge Trigger: When the ooze is subjected to Slashing damage.

Response: The pudding erupts into a surge of shifting slime. Each creature within 10 ft must make a DC 15 Str Saving Throw or be knocked prone. The ground in the area becomes difficult terrain. 

Habitat: Underdark
