Crystal Elemental

Bestiary entry by Aldric Shadowmark, Grand Hunters Lodge

Classification: Earth Elemental Variant
Habitat: Gem caves and magical mineral deposits
Threat Level: Dangerous

Description

Formed from living crystal rather than common stone, these elementals refract light into dazzling displays. Their bodies are harder than normal earth elementals and they can project focused light beams. They are found guarding natural crystal formations.

Behavior

Crystal Elementals are defensive, protecting their gem-cave homes from intruders. They value crystalline beauty and may attack those who damage or steal crystals. Some can be bargained with using offerings of rare gems.

Combat Notes

Their bodies reflect many spells. Sonic attacks cause resonance damage. Light beams can blind or burn. Target joints between crystal segments. Their remains are valuable but harvesting draws others.
