Magma Mephit
Description
Born from earth and fire, magma mephits appear spontaneously in volcanoes, rising from bubbles that burst on the surface of the lava. Roughly humanoid, they resemble a sketch of a living magma sculpture. They have an unpredictable temperament, sometimes indolent, sometimes violent or playful. Travelers even claim to have been helped by magma mephits. It sometimes seems that their disposition is pure chance (see Magma Mephit Moods).
Naturally driven to gather, they are rarely alone and often united; whole groups can even follow the same short-lived goal.
They live only in the present, in the here and now. Some even say that mephits have neither memory nor knowledge of the past, future, or the passage of time.
They are not afraid to die, because death is a foreign concept for an elemental that can exist again by being reborn from magma. They exist as a physical and psychological embodiment of extreme heat, as offshoots of a volcano that does not need them to expand or pour out its torrents of lava.
