| Ability-3-Description = Once per encounter, as a triggered free reaction, upon being struck by a piercing or slashing weapon, a Black Pudding will split from one Large creature into four Medium creatures in the same space. Once split, each Pudding can and will move and attack independently using the same initiative. Each one has one fourth of the ORIGINAL hit point total of the Black Pudding ({{ | | Ability-3-Description = Once per encounter, as a triggered free reaction, upon being struck by a piercing or slashing weapon, a Black Pudding will split from one Large creature into four Medium creatures in the same space.
