Inverse environmental defense mechanism

IEDM's are natural defense mechanisms found in the wild destined to exploit a targets adaptation to a certain environment in order to defeat it. 
== Examples ==
Breathing fire in order to cause thermic shock in prey that is used to a cold environment is a common example of IEDM.
In hot barren environments, an animal that exudes moisture will use it to its advantage to trap enemies. 
== Mechanics ==
IEDM's are independently evolved in many animals and animate of welt, they seek to take advantage of an ecological niche and seek to fill it by reversing an adaptation that would be common for much of the local biosphere. 
== Fighting the elements ==
Elemental typing is a tricky but rewarding area of tactical combat. By exploiting an enemies elemental type, specific combat strategies can be organized. In the wild, these typings are exploited by predators, using unique inverse environmental defense mechanisms. Through observation and empirical experimentation, 5 elements have been ascertained to be weak and resistant to other typings. These elements are fire, water, electricity, rubber and ice.
The table below is to be read horizontally and details strengths and weaknesses of elements.
Enemy types	Fire 	Water 	Electricity	Rubber	Ice
Fire 	 	Weak 	Weak 	Strong	Strong
Water 	Strong	 	Weak 	Weak 	Strong
Electricity	Strong	Strong	 	Weak 	Weak
Rubber 	Weak 	Strong	Strong 	 	Weak
Ice 	Weak 	Weak 	Strong 	Strong
