Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the mustard jelly must hit with its slam attack. If it gets a hold, it can constrict.

Constrict (Ex): A mustard jelly deals automatic slam and acid damage with a successful grapple check.

Acid (Ex): A mustard jelly secretes a digestive acid that dissolves only flesh and wood. Any melee hit deals acid damage.

Poisonous Aura (Ex): 10-foot radius, affected as by slow spell as cast by a 12th-level sorcerer, Fortitude negates DC 15. The save must be made each round a creature is within range.

Split (Ex): Weapon and electricity attacks deal no damage to a mustard jelly. Instead the creature splits into two identical jellies, each with half the original's hit points (round down). A jelly with only 1 hit point cannot be further split.

Unlike other oozes, the mustard jelly cannot climb walls or stick to ceilings.

A mustard jelly attacks by forming a pseudopod of its acidic substance and striking with it.

The Mustard Jelly first appeared in the Monster Manual (Gary Gygax, 1977).
