It's not that it doesn't fit, it's just neither here nor there; it's clearly a summoned monster (but why would a mage summon a creature whose main asset is the ability to fly in an enclosed space?).[SBLOCK=In spoilers because we're running this game on ENWorld and I don't want players seeing]The adventure's premise is to free a princess who looks live a prince's beloved. The prince has charmed her and taken her captive; he's been polymorphed by a wicked mage and in the process went a little nuts. The mage polymorphed him because the prince was to elope with his daughter. Outraged at his daughter, the mage turned her into a statue. The PCs come in to rescue the princess originally, but end up on a quest to reunite prince & mage's daughter. I'm adding a few more layers in my own game, but that's the gist of the original.The dungeon is the Fortress of Nazir al-Azrad, the hidden redoubt of a wicked mage in a desert mountain fissure. This room is literally the first room of the dungeon after wending through the fissure. The mage commands a magic called the White Flame, which is a bizarre heatless flame which heals/rejuvenates creatures entering it (and grants the mage immortality)...however it does this by transferring any damage/conditions to creatures imprisoned in the crystals that the flame causes to grow. This White Flame grants his mortal followers some damage resistances and they can use their rings of returning to teleport back to it to heal up. Remind me a bit of the AD&D Positive Energy Plane / Plane of Radiance.EDIT: I've also created Nazir's spellbook, based on the spells listed for the NPC and on other spell effects described in the dungeon that he would have cast...Nazir’s Spellbook1st level: attract evil eye*, charm person, detect magic, false life, mage armor, magic missile2nd level: arcane lock, continual flame, detect thoughts, mirror image, see invisibility, web3rd level: dispel magic, fly, haste, hold person, sending, slow4th level: confusion, dimension door, greater invisibility, hallucinatory terrain5th level: geas, hold monster, telekinesis, teleportation circle, wall of stone6th level: disintegrate, flesh to stone, magic jar7th level: force cage, teleport8th level: dominate monster, power word stun9th level: true polymorph[/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
