Thunder Mephit

A thunder mephit is a small, winged creature that resembles a cross between a goblin and a bat. It has gray skin, yellow eyes, and a mouth full of sharp teeth. Its wings are covered with feathers that crackle with electricity. A thunder mephit is an elemental being that originates from the Plane of Air, where it serves as a messenger, scout, or spy for more powerful entities.

COMBAT

A thunder mephit is not very strong or brave, but it can be a nuisance to its enemies with its claws and its thunder breath. Its claws can inflict piercing and thunder damage, while its breath can unleash a blast of sound that deafens and damages anyone in a line. A thunder mephit can also use its innate magic to cast spells such as shocking grasp, thunderwave, or lightning bolt. A thunder mephit can regenerate some of its wounds if it is near a source of air or electricity. If it is killed, it explodes in a burst of thunder that harms nearby creatures.

HABITAT / SOCIETY

A thunder mephit lives in the Plane of Air, where it flies among the clouds and storms. It enjoys the freedom and chaos of the wind, and often plays pranks on other creatures or objects that it encounters. A thunder mephit is loyal to its master, usually a djinni, an air elemental, or a storm giant, who sends it on missions to other planes. A thunder mephit can also be summoned by a spellcaster who knows the proper rituals. A thunder mephit is curious and mischievous, but also arrogant and spiteful. It likes to mock and annoy other beings, especially those who are slow or clumsy.

ECOLOGY

A thunder mephit does not need to eat or drink, but it can consume air or electricity to replenish its energy. It does not have a natural lifespan, but it can be killed by violence or magic. A thunder mephit does not reproduce naturally, but it can create more of its kind by using its magic to fuse two or more sources of air or electricity together. A thunder mephit has no interest in treasure or material goods, but it may collect shiny or noisy objects that catch its attention. A thunder mephit has no natural enemies, but it may provoke the wrath of those who dislike its antics or oppose its master.

• Find Familiar
