Elder Black Pudding A5E
CR 8 ooze
Huge ooze, chaotic evil
The pudding can pass through an opening as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.
A creature that touches the pudding or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet takes 9 (2d8) acid damage. A nonmagical weapon made of metal or wood that hits the black pudding corrodes after dealing damage, taking a permanent -1 penalty to damage rolls per hit. If this penalty reaches -5, the weapon is destroyed. Wooden or metal nonmagical ammunition is destroyed after dealing damage. Any other metal or organic object that touches it takes 9 (2d8) acid damage.
An ooze doesnt require air or sleep.
The pudding can use its climb speed even on difficult surfaces and upside down on ceilings.
While in sunlight, the pudding has disadvantage on attack rolls.
