Elemental, Mephit Mephits are small, weak creatures that serve at the whims of other elemental entities. The mephits presented here are less common than air mephits, earth mephits, and the like, as they are a blend of two different elements rather than focusing on one alone. Mephit Interactions Different types of mephits that can be found on the same elemental plane often develop friendly (or, in some cases, fierce) rivalries with one another. While mephits from elementally opposed planes (such as fire and water) may have strong opinions about the superiority of their own element, the fact that they rarely see such mephits means that when they do encounter them, they often get along better than they do with their close neighbors. Mephit Names Perhaps because they’re so often compelled into service by mortal conjurers and more powerful elementals, mephits tend to adopt long names peppered with self-proclaimed titles and imagined or exaggerated accomplishments to alleviate their feelings of inadequacy. Some examples of mephit names follow. • Anothoraxia, Lurker in Dark Places, the Tragic Hero, One Against All • Silothiscil the Embittered, Rimelord of the Eternal Chill, Lord of Icicles • Oglophax, Prince of Pungency, the Viscous One, the Forever Stain • Zarnozath the Magnificent, First of His Name, Boiler of Kettles, the Teapot Terror Dust Mephit Whining and self-important creatures, dust mephits are known for their tendency to pronounce doom and gloom at every opportunity, lamenting every insignificant and minor difficulty as though it were an insurmountable obstacle and making themselves out to be heroes for struggling valiantly against their cruel fates. They tend to be thin and gaunt, with dusky brown and gray skin and wings.
