Want to tick off your enemy? Send him a mephit. Want to tick off your enemy while also gloating? Send him another type of mephit. The more mephits you send, the stronger the message...Beyond that, they're a good source for elemental-type wizard familiars. Elementalist wizards get no love, otherwise. Also, in Planescape at least, some of them are information brokers. (Remember: They're small and no one notices them if they're not being annoying. So if they don't annoy anyone, they make good spies. However, most are incredibly annoying. So it balances out.) Plus, they're about the only low-CR intelligent elementals around. So if you need an elemental, but don't really want to use a genie, (since they start about CR 12 and work their way up from there) mephits are a good option.</blockquote>
