The SendingStone review

The Ice Mephit is a fairly weak monster with a challenge rating of only 1/2. It has low HP and average abilities in most categories, but is immune to cold and poison. Its most interesting feature is its ability to breathe a cone of cold damage, which can deal decent damage to a group of players. In terms of alignment, it is classified as neutral evil, which suggests it may be more inclined towards selfish or malevolent behavior. Overall, the Ice Mephit is not a particularly dangerous or unique monster, but could still pose a threat to lower level players.
