Gremishka

Gremishka are a type of Monstrosity and non-playable race in Baldur's Gate 3. They can be found in Rosymorn Monastery during Act One.

“

The vicious product of spells gone wrong, these cat-like creatures delight in tormenting magic-users, relishing in the unstable effect magic has on them.

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.

 Ice Bloom

Create an ice surface and gain  Armour of Agathys.

 Chaotic Offence

Gain 3  Mirror Images, become  Enlarged, and become  Hastened all at once.

 Panther Polymorph

Turn into a panther.

 Force Explosion

Create an explosion that  Dazes nearby creatures.

 Gremishka Spawn

Burst into pieces. Two new gremishkas are born from your remains.

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.
