Dust Mephit - Bestiary

Description

DESCRIPTION

These ghoulish things find death morbidly fascinating. They pose as tragic yet fashionable victims of a gloomy fate, heroically holding out against utter insanity. They favor lines like "A dust mephit I am, lest dust I become!"

Gaunt even by mephit standards, dust mephits have dusky brown skin, eyes, and wings. Unlike other mephits, they prefer to wear clothing (always black), altered so as not interfere with flight.

Dust Mephit is employed as component to empower the following spells: Find Familiar

Traits

Death Burst

When the mephit dies, it explodes in a burst of dust. Each creature within 5 feet of it must then succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or be blinded for 1 minute. A blinded creature can repeat the saving throw on each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Regeneration

The dust mephit regains 1 hit point at the start of its turn.
