Dungeons & Dragons Online Monster Profile #9

Turbine’s official Dungeons & Dragons Online website has been updated with a ninth monster profile, this time detailing the Earth Elemental. Once again, concept art of the creature is included, but you’ll need to be a member of the game’s forums to view the article. A snip about this latest creature:

The earth elemental falls into a unique classification of creatures about whom human understanding is at once complete and yet utterly lacking. For powerful wizards and sorcerers, the art of summoning up these powerful manifestations of the primeval earth is well-established. While violent and primordial by nature, control over these creatures sentient creatures, though not especially bright is relatively easy to establish, with centuries of documented experience. And yet still, very little is known about the ultimate nature of these creatures. Why do they exist? Was the spark of life and a dim torch of intelligence placed inside these creatures by some nature deity, by extraplanar beings, or by the act of creation itself?
