Special Traits

• Acid. A creature that touches the acid elemental or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes 5 (2d4) acid damage. Any nonmagical weapon made of metal or wood that hits the pudding corrodes. After dealing damage, the weapon takes a permanent and cumulative -1 penalty to damage rolls. If its penalty drops to -5, the weapon is destroyed. Nonmagical ammunition made of metal or wood that hits the acid elemental is destroyed after dealing damage. The acid elemental can eat through 2-inch-thick, nonmagical wood or metal in 1 round.
• Fumes. Creatures who begin their turn within 5 feet of the acid elemental must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the start of its next turn. On a successful saving throw, the creature is immune to the elemental’s fumes for 24 hours.
• Vulnerability to Water. For every 5 feet that the elemental moves in water, or for every gallon of water splashed on it, it takes 1 fire damage.

Actions

• Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d8 + 5) bludgeoning damage plus 14 (4d6) acid damage. In addition, nonmagical armor worn by the target is partly dissolved and takes a permanent and cumulative -1 penalty to the AC it offers. The armor is destroyed if the penalty reduces its AC to 10.
