Special Traits

  • Amorphous. The pudding can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.
  • Reactive Regeneration. When the pudding is exposed to piercing or slashing damage, it regains 6 hit points.
  • Spider Climb. The pudding can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down and ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.
  • Tumorous Form. Any creature who touches the pudding or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or contract a tumorous disease which manifests immediately. The diseased creature suffers disadvantage on Charisma checks and -2 on attack rolls, and its hit point maximum is reduced by 10 for every 24 hours that elapse. Magic such as a lesser restoration spell cures the disease. If the disease reduces the target’s hit point maximum to 0, the target dies and reanimates in 2 (1d4) hours as a flesh pudding.

Actions

  • Pseudopod. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d8 + 2) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a creature, it must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature is afflicted with a tumorous disease. The diseased target suffers disadvantage on Charisma checks and -2 on attack rolls, and its hit point maximum is reduced by 10 for every 24 hours that elapse. Magic such as a lesser restoration spell will cure the disease. If the disease reduces the target’s hit point maximum to 0, the target dies and reanimates in 2 (1d4) hours as a flesh pudding.
  • Devour Corpse. The pudding consumes the dead body of a creature at least Small in size. It gains a cumulative +1 to attack and damage rolls for 1 minute and regains 12 hit points. Any points beyond its hit point maximum are treated as temporary hit points.
