Unique traits

Gremishkas have the  Magic Allergy condition at all times: whenever a spell or cantrip is cast close to them, they gain the  Unstable condition. At the start of its next turn, it triggers a random effect, similar to Wild Magic, through a list of possible effects unique to gremishkas.

Effect	Weight	Duration	Description
Chaotic Offence	3/20	3	Gain 3  Mirror Images, become  Enlarged, and become  Hastened all at once.
Force explosion	8/20	2	Create an explosion that deals 3d6⁠⁠Force and  Dazes nearby creatures.
Gremishka Spawn	3/20	Permanent	Burst into pieces. Two new gremishkas are born from your remains.
Ice Bloom	3/20	3	Create a 3 m (10 ft) radius ice surface and gain  Armour of Agathys.
Panther Polymorph	3/20	Permanent	Turn into a  Panther.

Tactics

Gremishkas are not particularly imposing Monstrosities, yet they make up for this through numbers and their chaotic reactions to magic. Using something as simple as  Fire Bolt can cause a chain reaction through Wild Magic effects, which trigger other gremishka's Allergy condition. Their  Evasion passive also makes it challenging to kill them with AoE spells like  Fireball.

The simplest approach is to rely on physical attacks and avoid using magic. If no spells are cast, a fight against these cat-like creatures is typically quite easy.
