Ecology
Steam Mephit (Summoner Variant) is a being of one of the inner planes, summoned, escaped, or birthed where planar boundaries thin. It is most often found in underwater regions. It is small-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Steam Mephit (Summoner Variant) is simple in motivation but immense in reach — fire wants to burn, water wants to flow. Its Neutral Evil alignment shapes how it engages with the world — predictable in tendency, even when unpredictable in detail. It is largely instinct-driven; complex strategy is the work of whoever (or whatever) commands it. Spellcasting expands its repertoire well beyond what its physical stat block alone suggests.
Origin
Steam Mephit (Summoner Variant) is codified in the 5e Monster Manual. Elementals come from the inner planes — the Plane of Fire, Water, Earth, Air, or the para-elemental borders. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
