Elemental
Elementals are incarnations of the elements that make up the universe: air, earth, fire, and water. Though little more than animated energy on their own planes of existence, they can be called on by spellcasters and powerful beings to take shape and perform tasks.
On its home plane, an elemental is a bodiless life force. Its dim consciousness manifests as a physical shape only when focused by the power of magic. A wild spirit of elemental force has no desire except to course through the element of its native plane. Like beasts of The Overworld, these elemental spirits have no society or culture, and little sense of being.
Certain spells and magic items can conjure an elemental, summoning it from their home planes to the Overworld. Elementals instinctively resent being pulled from their native planes and bound into service. A creature that summons an elemental must assert force of will to control it.
Powerful magic can bind an elemental spirit into a material template that defines a specific use and function. Invisible Stalkers are Air Elementals bound to a specific form, in the same way that Water Elementals can be shaped into Water Weirds.
