Lightning mephit

Lightning mephits are energetic, even hyperactive, with an incessant curiosity and desire for activity. Native to the Quasielemental Plane of Lightning, they talk very, very fast, with many mistakes, false starts, and malapropisms.

A lightning mephit's torso and limbs are thin, jagged bolts of black lightning; its hands and feet are oversized, bulbous, and white. Its earless head smells like ozone and glows with a permanent light effect; this expires when the mephit dies.

A lightning mephit has no wings. It races through the air like a lightning bolt, the fastest of all mephits. Unfortunately, it maneuvers poorly.

Note: Lightning mephits originally appeared in this form in the Planescape Monstrous Compendium for the AD&D game from TSR. Their use here is for the purposes of providing context for the campaign only.
