Earth Elemental

Revision as of 00:27, 1 March 2020

Earth Elementals are seemingly constructed from a solid aggregate of one or more minerals or mineraloids. For example, granite, a common rock, is a combination of the minerals quartz, feldspar and biotite, making for a very heavy, sturdy material that would be terrifying to have to fight if it awakened. Something to consider is that the planet's outer solid layer, the lithosphere, is made of rock. This makes Earth Elementals very deadly creatures, as their spawn point is LITERALLY EVERYWHERE....

"You cannot escape us, we are around you...scheming...." - a rock, probably.

Types:

Don't be fooled by thinking all rocks are alike, however! Earth Elementals come in many sizes, shapes, colors, and temperaments!

For example, you could conceivably find any of the following types and more:

- A mudman type might fling rocks and mud, be prone to arguments, and have little to no knowledge of or care for the customs of others.

- A clay type might fight in a very smooth, flexible fashion - changing and adapting to whatever the situation needs but standing firm when the need arises.

- A gem type might be mysterious, elusive, and colorful.

- A stone type might be rigid, inflexible, but extremely protective.

- A lava type might be explosive, unpredictable, and stubbornly slow to move when they don't feel like it.

- A sand type might be shifty, warm, grating, or serene, depending on their mood.

- A fallen meteor type might be strangely alluring, move very quickly, and seem quite out of place.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Even within these subtypes, no two Earth Elementals act exactly the same way. You could, for instance, meet a mudman who is a wise shaman healer, or a bright sparkly gem who loves talking to people, or a stone who just rolls along from camp to camp - easily making new friends, or a lava type who enjoys being a world-builder and helps others around them to grow.

Furthermore, these are not the only types of Earth Elementals either! There are as many types as there are types of Earth!

Origins:

The origins of Earth Elementals are as numerous as the grains of sand. Some are risen by wizards, some drawn forth by some crisis in the natural world, some simply springing from the ground seemingly for no reason at all, some so old they simply do not remember a time they did not exist. Each elemental has their own unique story and evolution from one part of their journey to another.
