Gremishka
This page is needs images. Help plz. |
Gremishkas are wicked, spiteful, lizard-monkey-rat-things that infest the dark corners of the Demiplane of Dread. They come into being when rookie spellcasters try (and fail) to create life, creating these bastards instead. Gremishkas have an appetite for magical stuff such as spellbooks, spell components, and familiars, and love to troll 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! In short, these Ravenloft beasties are basically expies of the titular monsters from the movie Gremlins.
