Earth Mephit

__NOTOC__
These heavy, rocky mephits have stolid, humorless personalities. Stubborn and immune to insult, they look like small, thin earth elementals, with stony skin, glittering eyes, and rigid wings of dull metal. Their wings, which never flap, seem to play no role in the mephit's magical flight. Earth mephits fly clumsily and smell like dirt.
==Combat==
Earth mephits have two fist attacks (1d4 damage each). Once per day, they can grow to a height of 10' for one turn; their fists do 2d6 damage at this size.
Three times a day an earth mephit can spit a rock at one target within 15' hitting automatically (1d6 damage). Additional uses of this attack beyond the third cost the mephit 2 hp apiece from its current total.
Once per hour an earth mephit can attempt to gate in 1-2 other mephits, either earth or magma. If two arrive, they are the same type.
Earth mephits regenerate 1 hp per round they spend buried in earth to at least waist level. Passwall and transmute rock to mud spells destroy them instantly.
==Ecology==
Earth mephits need no food or drink to survive, but they enjoy the taste of gems and jewelry. To gain these they pursue money-making schemes, always with single-mindedness but also singular ineptitude.
