Mini champs are spawn areas within the Stygian Abyss dungeon composed of two to three groups of monsters (in increasing levels of difficulty), with a final ‘champion’ monster called a [Renowned]. Renowned are a considerably stronger version of a familiar mob, something like Ilshenar paragons, but on a higher scale.
Each mini-champ group drops one type of essence, named for the Gargoyle virtues, used in imbuing. The renowned monsters may drop artifact items, which can be found listed here
