Gaseous State. The belker can enter a hostile creature's space and stop there, forcing the creature to make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take 5(1d10) poison damage. In addition, the belker's flying speed increases to 50 ft, and attacks from nonmagical weapons have disadvantage. However, the belker can only make one claw attack per turn or use its Belch while in its gaseous state.
Solid State. The belker is able to use its Multiattack.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d6 + 5) piercing damage.
Belch(Recharge 6). The belker exhales vile smoke in a 30-foot cone, forcing all creatures to make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take 15(2d10+4) poison damage and 6(1d6+2) fire damage and be poisoned, halving damage on success.
Shift State. The belker shifts from its solid state into its gaseous state, or from its gaseous state into its solid state. Regardless of state, the belker makes a single claw attack at disadvantage.
Description
Gleaming red eyes in the darkness and a foul air on the wind are the few warnings errant planeswalkers get when they are targeted by a belker. These creatures of the Para-Elemental Plane of Smoke are known for their sadistic behavior when dealing with other creatures, and for their general disinterest in affairs outside of their home plane.
Reclusive until Provoked. Despite their sadistic tendencies and lesser intelligence, at least compared to other elementals on their home planes, belkers generally keep to their nests and burrows, not bothering with other beings unless they are provoked somehow, or if they are hungry.
Summoner's Folly. Belkers have no love for efreeti or djinni, and the feeling is generally a mutual one. The only time one would see an efreeti and a belker in the same room is if they were fighting to the death. Overconfident wizards often summon belkers to act as guardians of treasures, or to be used in the making of golems. Such wizards are often later found choking on befouled vapors, or simply torn to shreds and devoured due to their foolishness.
