False Appearance.

While the mephit remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary shard of ice.

Frost Breath .

The mephit exhales a 15-foot cone of cold air. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw, taking 5 (2d4) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
