Red Elemental

A curious sort of monster which looks more like a heraldic crest than a living being. Given this inorganic appearance, most think that the elemental is not a spirit of the natural world but rather an artificial creation born of man. Whether framed by the hand of man or god, though, these creatures have appeared in art since ancient times. They display an impressive resistance to magical attacks and so some modern researchers hope that they might be fashioned into tools to either contain or enhance magical powers.
