As they rise from the surface of the Lake of Time, their forms resolve into perfectly symmetric, angular humanoid shapes, smooth masks instead of their faces, the forms on their heads resembling short hair. They seem to differentiate one from another, somewhat, perhaps delineating their genders? There are exactly nine of them, and they emerge anywhere around their target on the material plane. Instinct: Hold the target out of time until it dies.

• Appear next to a person that has been causing time fluctuations and stop it with its grapple.
• They can return to the Lake of Time at any moment.

Small and stealthy elemental, Mud Mephit is a night creature as direct sunlight dries them up so they may not move. Unlike other supernatural creatures of the swamps, who shape and try to extend the reach of their home, Mud Mephits' only task is to increase the amount of basic building materials (i.e. decomposing organics). Instinct: To trap, to dissolve.

• In small groups, they trap their prey (if medium or larger, more than one Mephit at a time) in the ground and slowly dissolve them.
• Mud Breath: When a Mud Mephit belches at a small or medium creature (even with their Last Breath), that creature must defy danger + DEX. If it fails, it is restrained for one minute.
