1d20 Random NPC Mephits Encounter Table For Your Old School Campaigns

Created in the spaces 'in between' the dimensions where the elemental planes pull and tug each other's essence. The Mephits are grand beings in their own minds born of the elemental quasi souls of the life that exists on several alien places at once. These beings are utterly alien to the human mind and yet somehow mirror the human and near human souls. They can be bonded to a wizard of extreme cunning and twisted conscious but each time they will try to being such fools to their own alien needs and wants.


The process of delving into the black abyss is to me the keenest form of fascination.
H. P. Lovecraft
Some of the most dangerous of these elemental beings are those who have gained free will from their elemental master gods and now haunt the plane prime as agents of their own. Slightly less dangerous are those mephits who have broken free  or been released from the service of their wizardly masters. Some of these beings have carved out small empires and operations all on their own and should be dealt with the utmost caution.
