Spell-Like Abilities: Once per hour, a magma mephit can use shapechange to take the form of a pool of lava 3 feet in diameter and 6 inches deep. The mephit’s damage reduction improves to 20/magic when in this form. The mephit can’t attack while in lava form but can use other spell-like abilities. It can move at a speed of 10 feet, but it can’t run. In this form the mephit can pass through small holes or narrow openings, even mere cracks. The pool’s touch ignites flammable materials such as paper, straw, or dry wood.

So they form into a pool of lava and drop on someone. They can't attack in this form, so they get no to hit roll, instead your victim gets a Reflex save to avoid having a flying object drop on them. The object is only 3ft in diameter, so it should be an easy Reflex save. DC 10 -14, depending on how high they were.

To make it deadly, try first making the Mephit's invisible. Then if the player fails their spot/listen checks, they would be treated as if they had a Dex of 0 (-5 penalty instead of their regular bonus).
