List of Elemental Creatures

by Håvard

What is known about Elementals in the Mystaran cosmology?

some interesting tidbits:

Druids can cast Summon Elemental and do not have to concentrate to control the Elemental. They are apparently friendly to the druid. Are elementals considered holy by the druids? Are they seen as a force of nature? IIRC, Ethengar Shamans can also contact elementals, who are viewed by the Shamans to be Spirits?

WotI page 37:
The Immortal Terra was an Immortal. In her mortal life, she fought intruders from other Elemental planes. I seem to recall a mention of the Elemental Wars, but I can't find a reference. Marco Dalmonte places Terra's ascendancy to between BC 100.000 - BC 30.000.

The HWA Trilogy has many references to Elementals:
HWA1 page 23 describes the summoning of Gabbro, an Earth Elemental Cleric.

HWA2 has much more:

Page 46:
*Pumice: A 4-armed Earth Elemental.

Page 49-50:
*Fire-elementals are described as passionate, ill-tempered artists. On the Prime, they take artistic fire-related names.
*Earth Elementals are descibed as sedate of nature. On Mystara, they take names after minerals and the like.

p 55:
* Niccolite: An Earth-Elemental of "Princely Rank"
* Aura Grandiose: Fire Elemental high ranking Artist.
* Romances between elementals of different planes is forbidden and shameful, but theoretically possible.
* The (optional) appearance of a hybrid earth-fire elemental as a result of Niccolite and Aura's romance.

Rules Cyclopedia:
Greater Efreeti are known as Amirs, whereas Greater Djinni are known as Pasha. Someone suggested these to be linked to Arabic and Persian cultures, though I cannot remember which is which?

I havent gotten around to listing the different elemental creatures yet.

Companion, Master and Immortals sets are also resources I need to read up on for this topic.

For Giants and their connections to the Elemental Planes.
