| Description = Black Puddings are the most commonly encountered of the oozes, and that alone makes them noteworthy.  Black Puddings are extremely hard to kill completely, and after a battle with a swarm of puddings, baby puddings are usually spawned by the dozens over the next several weeks, as random spots and spatters scattered in the battle will slowly grow into more of the vile things.

| Ability-2-Description = When a black pudding hits a foe with a Pseudopod attack (either Smash or Swarm) it may 'pour itself' along the length of that pseudopod and enter the space of the struck creature.  This is mechanically handled in-game as the ability to make a five foot step after any such attack (e.g. only usable once per round, not usable if you've already moved this round, etc).  The black pudding may only use this ability against creatures it has struck -- if a 5-foot Gorge step would take them into a space with a creature they struck and a creature they haven't struck, the pudding must adjust the step to only include the struck creature. If it cannot do so, it can't use the Gorge ability.  Being inside a pudding's space this way does not impede either the pudding or the victim in any way, except that the victim takes {{#var:Special2SwiftDmg}} acid damage at the end of any move or 5-foot step the pudding makes which leaves them inside the pudding's space, to a maximum of once each combat round.  This effectively adds {{#var:Special2SwiftDmg}} acid damage to their attack which they used to trigger Gorge, and may cause considerably more damage than that if victims do not move away from the pudding.

: Once split the pudding's attacks are replaced with a single attack, usable as a standard action, as follows:
 
::* 1x '''Pseudopod Slap''' +{{#var:Special3ToHit}} ({{#var:Special3StandardDmg}}/x2) as acid damage, plus Gouge
 
: The split puddings retain their reach with this new attackAs a result, the ''portion control'' ability acts as a full heal, and enables the now-split pudding to deal the same damage as a full attack each round, even after moving, and also set up flanks with itself, making this quite a powerful ability indeed. Adventurers are cautioned to avoid slashing and piercing weapons when fighting this foe!

| Ability-4-Description = As a full attack action the Black Pudding may make up to four Pseudopod Swarm attacks. Each of these four attacks has +{{#var:Special4ToHit}} to hit, threatens a critical on a natural 20, and if confirmed, does double acid damage.
| Ability-4-Description =  
 
: Each successful attack inflicts {{#var:Special4SwiftDmg}} of acid damage, and may be used to trigger Gorge.  These attacks have a reach of ten feet before Portion Control is triggered, and five feet after.  The Black Pudding will use these attacks on all enemies it can reach, closest first.  If there are fewer than four enemies it can reach, it will attack all enemies then randomly attack one enemy with all leftover attacks.

| CombatTactics = Black Puddings are utterly mindless.  They sense motion or warmth, they move toward it and attack.  They will not use five foot steps to attain extra opportunity attacks with their reach, nor will they bother with flanks except by accident.  If they are able to use Portion Control, all four of the new oozes act independently, moving to the closest prey and attacking with vigor.  Note that Pseudopod Swarm is four melee attacks, and can be used against any and all targets the Pudding can reach, up to four attacks on a single target is allowed.

| OutOfCombat =  
| OutOfCombat = In the absence of any prey to seek out, puddings will sometimes wander aimlessly, often in large circles or straight lines, until prey is detected.  In other cases, puddings have been known to go completely dormant for years, until disturbed by motion or warmth in their vicinity. 
 
: It is not known how long a pudding can survive without food, but evidence seems to suggest it is measured in decades.  This begs the question of why they are so voracious when food is present, eagerly devouring anything they can catch, with limitless hunger. 
 
: One popular theory regarding the origin of the black pudding is that puddings aren't alive at all, merely magical weapons created for the sole purpose of destroying anything organic they encounter.  However, their complete lack of anatomy makes it very difficult to determine their origins, whether manufactured or evolved.
