**Split** When a Large pyronite ooze is hit by an attack that would deal bludgeoning or fire damage and it has 10 or more HP, it explodes, dealing 6d6 fire damage to creatures in a 10-foot radius (DC 29 [basic](/Rules.aspx?ID=329) Reflex save).

Unstable Hibernation After crawling on the ceiling or into some other darkened corner, pyronite oozes sometimes go into a dormant state for days or months. While in this torpor, they become even more dangerous as unstable chemicals seep from the ooze and form into crystals on its surface. These crystals are highly explosive. The ooze's hibernation ends when a slight movement or small spark ignites the crystals, triggering its Exploding Split ability and dealing twice the usual amount of damage.
