{{blockref|Mephits are capricious, imp-like creatures native to the
elemental planes. They come in six varieties, each one
representing the mixture of two elements.|<ref name="mm5.215">{{pub|Monster Manual (5e)}} p.215</ref>}}

{{blockref|Mephits are minor creatures from the elemental planes.

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.|{{SRD3ref}}}}

{{blockref|They were not native to the [[SRD5:Material Plane|Prime Material Plane]], as they were somewhat linked to various [[SRD5:Elemental Plane|elemental]] or [[5e:Quasi-Elemental Plane|quasi-elemental planes]] of existence. Mephits were roughly {{srd5lc|Humanoid}} in appearance and somewhat small; approximately 4 feet (1.2 meters) in height.<ref name="mm3e">{{Cite Pub|Monster Manual (3e)|pages=133-134}}</ref>

Their disposition depended on their plane of origin, though they were rarely endearing. Each type of mephit had some form of {{5edlc|Breath Weapon}}, which could usually do minor elemental damage, though it was mostly intended to ward off would-be attackers.<ref name="mm3e"/>|<ref>[https:/ /forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Mephit Forgotten Realms Wiki - Mephit].
