Shadow Elemental

Description:

The anatomy of a Shadow Elemental defies description. Some merely call it “a nothing,” while others have likened it to distilled darkness - so black that it can be easily seen on a moonless overcast night. Despite their sinister appearance, these Elementals tend to remain neutral as much as possible. Since Shadow Elementals are so exotic and are more powerful than other Elementals, summoning one often takes a terrible toll upon the caster.

Garb:

Black, black and more black. Look as amorphous as possible.
