Storm Elemental

Type: Hybrid elemental
Habitat: During storms, especially at sea
Threat Level: Extreme

Description

Storm Elementals combine air and water with electrical energy, manifesting as living thunderstorms. They appear during major storms and seem to be the animating force behind the most devastating weather events.

Behavior

Storm Elementals are as unpredictable as the weather they embody. They may pass over settlements harmlessly or devastate them utterly, with no apparent reason for the difference. They are drawn to the sea and to areas of strong magical activity.

Combat

Fighting a Storm Elemental directly is nearly impossible-they are too large and too mobile. The Arcane Creed has developed calming rituals that can sometimes disperse them, but these require multiple casters and considerable preparation.

Lore

Sailors believe Storm Elementals are expressions of Leviathans moods-when the Lord of Storms is angered, Storm Elementals appear to exact his displeasure. Whether this is literally true is debated.
