An Earth Elemental was a malicious creature composed of stone.[1]
Description[]
An Earth Elemental manifested as a humanoid creature made out of solid rock, standing anywhere between two and five metres in height, depending on exactly how powerful it was.[1]
Earth Elementals, being the mightiest of all primary Elementals, were almost impossible to kill and were long ago imprisoned inside large masses of rock or incredibly powerful containers to keep from causing havoc. Releasing one of them was therefore incredibly stupid and costs any fool who did so dearly.[1]
Origins and Distribution[]
Earth elementals were the most powerful of all the primary Elementals, dwelling in solitary magnificence in the Magical Plane of Earth and being summoned to the Earthly Plane only by the most capable or the most stupid of wizards.[1]
It was said that if defeated, an Earth Elemental could never be summoned to the Earthly Plane again, though it must also be acknowledged that no records were believed to exist to show that someone had ever attempted to do so![1]
It was rumoured that the Master of Earth of Solani had mastered the art of summoning them, and was using them as little more than guard dogs in some places.[2]
Special Abilities[]
They could only be harmed by magical weapons, and even so all hits against them are reduced to barely any damage, whilst they themselves were strong enough to ignore all natural armour in an attack.
History[]
- During the retrieval of King Gillibran Ironhelm III's Hammer, an Earth Elemental was believed to have been accidentally released by the adventurer, though its location is unknown.
Notable Earth Elementals[]
- Arkholith was an earth elemental that was imprisoned in a small figurine in Fathomdeep Mine of Femphrey.[3]
