Editing Gremishka (section)

==5e==
Like many other returning Ravenloft beasties, the 5e gremishka comes with a brand new look and a brand new backstory, with tweaked abilities to match. In 5e, gremishkas are what you get when a rookie spellcaster botches an attempt to create life, presumably making them a kind of dread/failed [[homunculus]] - as such, they are especially prevalent in the [[Magocracy|magocratic]] realm of Hazlan. 5e Gremishkas have an appetite for magical stuff such as spellbooks, spell components, and familiars, and love to torment the mages that gave them life. Despite their strong connection to magic, the use of it in their proximity can have unpredictable results, either healing them, bouncing off of them and hitting someone else, or, worst of all, causing the gremishka to explode into scaly chunks. These chunks then regenerate into fully grown duplicates of the original gremishka, and immediately form a swarm that is almost immune to spells of 3rd level and lower!
