5e24:Mephit
Lore
Unofficial Description: Small winged bipedal elementals from the quasi-elemental planes.
Other Lore
All mephits appear as small, winged creatures with more or less humanoid features. While they are often described as impish, their elemental origins are apparent at first glance.
All mephits fight by biting and clawing or by using a breath weapon, the nature and effects of which vary from creature to creature.
Their disposition depended on their plane of origin, though they were rarely endearing. Each type of mephit had some form of breath weapon, which could usually do minor elemental damage, though it was mostly intended to ward off would-be attackers.[5]
