*With rough, gray skin and a stony bulk, this creature looks like a powerful human made of stone. A huge greatsword slung over its shoulder rounds out the appearance of raw, rugged strength.*

Born of a union of mortal and elemental, a stonechild is a hardy entity grounded in soil and stone.
A stonechild appears humanoid in form only. A stonechild’s elemental heritage is revealed in its rough, rocklike skin—the creature looks more elemental than humanoid. However, unlike pure elementals, a stonechild wears utilitarian harnesses and some clothing, and wields a heavy weapon—usually a greatsword.
A stonechild lives on the Elemental Plane of Earth, pursuing activities and a way of life at odds with those of its mortal ancestor. A stonechild usually arrives on a different plane only at the behest of spells or to fill out armies for those with whom they share similar ideals, such as dwarves.
