Dust Elemental

Bestiary entry by Aldric Shadowmark, Grand Hunters Lodge

Classification: Composite Elemental
Habitat: Deserts and ruins
Threat Level: Moderate

Description

Swirling clouds of sand and dust that take vaguely humanoid form, Dust Elementals are the dry whispers of earth and air combined. They can disperse into seemingly nothing, only to reform and strike from unexpected directions.

Behavior

Dust Elementals are irritable and possessive of their desolate territories. They strip moisture from intruders, leaving desiccated remains. They communicate through scratching sounds and dust-patterns.

Combat Notes

Physical attacks pass through their dispersed form. Water magic solidifies them temporarily. Contain them with barriers - they flow through gaps. Eye and respiratory protection essential.
