If protected against fire damage, it can even glide through lava. Its burrowing leaves behind no tunnel or hole, nor does it create any ripple or other sign of its presence. A move earth spell cast on an area containing a burrowing earth elemental flings the elemental back 30 feet, stunning the creature for 1 round unless it succeeds on a DC 15 Fortitude save. ### Greater Earth Mastery (Ex) An earth monolith gains a +2 bonus on attack and damage rolls if both it and its foe are touching the ground. If an opponent is airborne or waterborne, the elemental takes a –4 penalty on attack and damage rolls. These modifiers apply to bull rush and overrun maneuvers, whether the elemental is initiating or resisting these kinds of attacks. (These modifiers are not included in the statistics block.) #### ecology **Terrain** Elemental plane of earth **Organization** Solitary **Treasure** None **Advancement** 65–288 HD (Colossal) Primal earth elementals are as strong as the bones of the earth. Earth elementals are plodding, stubborn creatures made of living stone or earth. When utterly still, they resemble a heap of stone or a small hill. When an earth elemental lumbers into action, its actual appearance can vary, although its statistics remain identical to other elementals of its size. Most earth elementals look like terrestrial animals made out of rock, earth, or even crystal, with glowing gemstones for eyes. Larger earth elementals often have a stony humanoid appearance. Bits of vegetation frequently grow in the soil that makes up parts of an earth elemental’s body. A primal earth elemental stands at least 64 feet tall and weighs in at 250,000 pounds or more. | **Elemental** | **Height** | **Weight** | | ------------- | ---------- | ------------ | | Small | 4 ft. | 80 lbs. | | Medium | 8 ft. | 750 lbs. | | Large | 16 ft. | 6,000 lbs. | | Huge | 32 ft. | 48,000 lbs. | | Greater | 36 ft. | 54,000 lbs. | | Elder | 40 ft. | 60,000 lbs. | | Monolith | 48 ft. | 120,000 lbs. | | Primal | 64 ft. | 250,000 lbs. |
