## Traits

***Death Burst.*** When the mephit dies, it explodes in a burst of jagged ice. Each creature within 5 feet of it must make a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw, taking 4 (`1d8`) slashing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

***False Appearance.*** While the mephit remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary shard of ice.

***Innate Spellcasting (1/Day).*** The mephit can innately cast [fog cloud](compendium/spells/fog-cloud.md), requiring no material components. Its innate spellcasting ability is Charisma.

**At will**: [fog cloud](compendium/spells/fog-cloud.md)
