# Elementals

Elementals are manifestations of mana and one or more elements. They are native to the outer, upper, and lower planes but can also spawn from mana and elements found on other [planes of existence](/the-world/planes-of-existence.md) as well, either through spells of conjuration or other preternatural means. Elementals do not require air, sustenance, or sleep, and most are ageless, although they cannot survive on planes dissonant with their elemental nature.

The races of elementals are:

* [Bestial Elementals](#bestial-elementals)
* [Primal Elementals](#primal-elementals)

## Bestial Elementals

Bestial elementals resemble various types of [mundane beasts](/the-people/kinds-and-bloodlines/wild/mundane-beasts.md) but are native to the [outer](/the-world/planes-of-existence.md#outer-planes), [upper](/the-world/planes-of-existence.md#upper-planes), and [lower planes](/the-world/planes-of-existence.md#lower-planes). As elementals, they are composed of [mana and the elements](/the-magic/mana-and-the-elements.md) rather than flesh, blood, and bone.

Most have magical powers and animal-like intelligence.

## Primal Elementals

Primal elementals are composed of [mana and the elements](/the-magic/mana-and-the-elements.md). Most are sentient. They are found in large numbers on the the [outer](/the-world/planes-of-existence.md#outer-planes), [upper](/the-world/planes-of-existence.md#upper-planes), and [lower planes](/the-world/planes-of-existence.md#lower-planes).

The types of primal elementals are:

* [Death Elementals](#death-elementals)
* [Earth Elementals](#earth-elementals)
* [Fire Elementals](#fire-elementals)
* [Life Elementals](#life-elementals)
* [Water Elementals](#water-elementals)
* [Hybrid Elementals](#hybrid-elementals)
* [Raw Elementals](#raw-elementals)

### Death Elementals

Death elementals are composed of darkness and shadows. They can also manifest as the negative aspects of time (decay, erosion, aging, etc.) or the raw embodiment of death.

### Earth Elementals

Earth elementals comprise any combination of dirt, stone, minerals, gems, metals, wood, or foliage.

### Fire Elementals

Fire elementals are typically composed of fire, although they can also be formed from any exceptionally hot material, such as molten rock.

### Life Elementals

Life elementals are composed of air, light, or even time itself. They can even manifest as the raw embodiment of life.

### Water Elementals

Water elementals are composed of water and can make themselves indistinguishable from any body of water, making them all but invisible when in a stream, river, lake, sea, etc.

### Hybrid Elementals

Hybrid elements are composed of a combination of two or more elements and generally have characteristics of both.

### Raw Elementals

Raw elementals manifest as neutral mana—raw energy—not aligned with any of the aforementioned elements.
