Unique traits

Gremishkas permanently have  Magic Allergy condition on them. Whenever a spell or cantrip is cast close to them, they will gain the  Unstable condition. At the start of its next turn, it will it will trigger a random effect, similar to Wild Magic, though using a unique list of possible effects unique to gremishkas.

• Ice Bloom: Creates a Ice Surface  Range: 3 m / 10 ft radius. Gains Armour of Agathys as if cast at level three.
• Chaotic Offence: Gains 3  Mirror Image,  Enlarged and  Hastened for Duration: 3 turns.
• Panther Polymorph: Polymorph into a Panther.
• Force Explosion: Creates an  Range: 3 m / 10 ft explosion that deals 3d6Force with a DC 10  Constitution saving throw or become  Dazed.

Tactics

Gremishkas aren't the most imposing type of Monstrosity around, yet they make up for it through numbers and their chaotic reaction to magic. Using something as simple as a Fire Bolt can lead to a chain reaction as the Wild Magic effects they create can trigger other gremishka's Allergy condition. Their Evasion passive also makes it tricky kill them with AoE spells like Fireball.

The simplest approach is to rely on physical attacks and avoid using magic. So long as no spells are cast, a fight against these cat-like creatures will prove to be quite easy.
