These brash and arrogant creatures are among the more energetic mephits. They are quick to nominate themselves the leaders of any group, barking out orders in shrill, high-pitched voices and insisting on having everything done their way. Even when they aren’t bossing others around, the constant hiss of steam escaping from their pores ensures that there is never a quiet moment.

description

Elemental, MephitMephits 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 InteractionsDifferent 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 NamesPerhaps 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 TerrorSteam MephitThese brash and arrogant creatures are among the more energetic mephits.
