Smoke Elemental
Appearing as a pillar of dark smoke with arms that end
in claws and eyes that blaze like hot coals, the smoke
paraelemental creeps through the air, often
propelled by strong winds. The inside of a smoke
paraelemental appears as a mass of black soot
and embers, capable of blinding and choking any
living creature that enters it.
Denizens of Fire and Ash. The smoke
paraelemental is native to the Great
Conflagration, also known as the Plane of
Ash. It is a place of an eternal firestorm
of dark plumes of smoke and ash, fed
by the Plane of Fire's magma and the
continuous gales from the Plane of Air.
Smoke paraelementals that enter
the Material Plane make their
homes in active volcanoes and
the driest wastelands. They
are particularly common in the
Smoking Mountains between
the nations of Unther and
Tymanther.
Horrid Asphyxiator. In combat,
the smoke paraelemental slashes
enemies with its red-hot claws. It always tries
to engulf foes, entering their spaces and filling their
lungs with smoke to suffocate them.
Warm Company. Smoke paraelementals are often
summoned by efreet and the followers of Imix,
Kossuth, Surtur, Talos, and Yan-C-Bin to serve as
assassins, guardians, and scouts. They tolerate the
company of smoke and steam mephits.
