Unstable Cinderlings - AI-generated fantasy Monster

Unstable Cinderlings

The Ashen Covenant makes Unstable Cinderlings by feeding powdered obsidian and sacrificial ash into a furnace containing a sliver of primordial flame. The resulting creatures are deliberately unstable. They are cheap to create, difficult to control, and intended to die in explosive swarms while the Covenant escapes with its prizes.

Fire Form. The cinderling can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch without squeezing. A creature that touches the cinderling or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet takes 2 () fire damage. The cinderling can enter the space of a hostile creature, but it cannot end its turn there.
Unstable Illumination. The cinderling's body burns with unstable elemental heat. It sheds bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. As a bonus action, it can extinguish or reignite this light. While its light is extinguished, it has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made in darkness or dim light.
Death Burst. When the cinderling dies, it explodes in a burst of fire and ash. Each creature within 10 feet of it must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 7 () fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Flammable objects that are not being worn or carried in the area ignite.
Touch. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 () fire damage. If the target is a creature or a flammable object that is not being worn or carried, it ignites. Until a creature takes an action to douse the flames, the burning target takes 3 () fire damage at the end of each of its turns.
Cinder-Skip. The cinderling darts up to 15 feet without provoking opportunity attacks. It can move through the space of a creature that is Large or larger, but it cannot end its movement there. The first time it enters a creature's space during this movement, that creature takes 2 () fire damage.
