Elemental creature

Elementals are as their names suggest, creatures with powers from the plane of air, land, fire and/or water.

Elemental creatures are however able to exist in other environments, sometimes easily. The Frost Giants for example, are based on the Cold environments and therefore have the ability to be resistant to the water elements, their natural home territory (Shining White). Certain creatures have the ability to use spells of their element, as demonstrated by Gerti Orelsdottr when attacking the dwarves just prior to the siege of Mithral Hall, when she cast a blizzard inside the cliff to overwhelm the dwarves. Even though these frost giants are typically found in the colder regions, they are still formidable when outside their normal range, as demonstrated again at Mithral Hall which was at that time still Autumnal.

They have the abilities to either cast from the spheres of nature or to be resistant to them above the normal expectation of such creatures.
