Elemental, Earth

Earth elementals are primordial beings naturally formed from the coalescence of magic, soil, and stone. They move slowly, but they are strong and sturdy. They can also speak with rocks. Earth elementals originate from the elemental realm of earth, but they can manifest on the Mortal Plane. Elementals occur naturally, formed with wild elemental magic. Golems are constructs given life by the use of magic, though they can share the appearance and composition of some elementals.

Crumble. Using your action, you can break into smaller chunks, causing everything you’re wearing and carrying to transform with you.

• You need not eat, drink, or breathe.
• You are considered to be an elemental creature made of stone whenever it is detrimental for you.

Speak with Earth. As part of a short rest, you can enter a trance to speak to the earth and stone, including worked stone, near you. While you do so, you are unconscious. The earth and stones within 30 feet of you impart impressions of what has happened around and to them, along with what they contain or conceal within range.

Languages. You speak, read, and write Common and Elemental. Dwarvish is commonly spoken among earth elementals, who are likely to have contact with dwarves.
