A Fire Mephit is an extra-planar "outsider" (i.e., linked to various Elemental, Quasi-Elemental and Outer planes of existence). These creatures are similar to Imps, and can be summoned by Mages to do their bidding. The are found in a number of areas during the Baldur's Gate II games.
Gameplay[]
The Fire Mephit needs to get fairly close in order to attack in melee with its claws, or near enough to get within range of its two innate ability attacks. These are Flame Fan and Flame Jet. The creature is scripted to use the fan attack immediately when in range, followed by the Jet two rounds later, and then five rounds after that. In between it will strike twice per round with its claws. A fire mephit will healed by Fire damage, so it isn't concerned by the flame jet accidentally striking any of the allied fire mephits that may be present.
