Elemental

Elementals are magically animated beings. Unlike Undead (which are an animation of a previously living creature), Elementals are an animation of non-living materials. This is usually in the form of raw materials, such as Stone Elementals.

Unlike Golems, which are the creation of magicians, Elementals are created by the elements itself, most commonly out of the earth, and can be found in areas where magical disturbances occur (like the Stone Elementals scattered through Ascalon near the large magical crystals).

Elementals often have powers aligned to their own element and as such many Elementals are Elementalists using Earth Magic.

Because Elementals are not real living creatures, they do not leave behind a corpse that can be exploited by a Necromancer.
