Mineral Quasi-Elemental

**Mineral Quasi-Elementals** were rare beings that dwelt on the Mineral Realm. For unknown reasons, they took somewhat distorted shapes of living beings found on the Physical Realm.

## Description

Mineral quasi-elementals appeared to mimic a wide variety of life forms typically found on the Physical Realm. These forms always appeared like a weird crystalline parody of the intended shape. The elementals could appear as gem-like knights and paladins riding crystal horses with delicate mica wings, huge carved dragon-like monsters, or hulking humanoid giants. The reason behind these shapes was unknown, especially because of the mineral quasi-elementals' behavior did not mimic the intended form's.

## Abilities

**Contaminant Immunity:** Mineral Quasi-Elementals are immune to poisons, toxins, venoms, viruses, bacteria, parasites, pathogens, allergen, etc.

**Dermal Armor:** Mineral Quasi-Elementals have or can generate an innate armor as a part of their body, which is resistant to attacks, harm or pain, and temperature extremes.

**Disease Immunity:** Mineral Quasi-Elementals immunity, digestive, and other organ systems are enhanced or evolved far beyond that of a normal human.

**Enhanced Durability:** Mineral Quasi-Elementals' physical durability, the ability to withstand damage, is extremely high, allowing them to take numerous blows of internal or external assaults before succumbing to the effects.

**Enhanced Endurance:** Mineral Quasi-Elementals can endure physical stresses beyond the capabilities of the greatest humans, enabling them to do things such as: tolerate extreme amounts of physical pain, having your limbs ripped off or having your bones completely crushed, being corroded by acid, and even resisting extremely painful headaches for prolonged periods of time.

**Enhanced Lung Capacity:** Mineral Quasi-Elementals have the ability to use the oxygen that resides in their lungs more efficiently than normal, allowing them the ability to hold their breath for extended periods of time.

**Enhanced Strength:** Mineral Quasi-Elementals can raise thousands of pounds to tens of thousands of pounds.

**Invulnerability:** Mineral Quasi-Elementals are immune to a specific power, element, attack, object, abstract concept, etc.

**Thermal Resistance:** Mineral Quasi-Elementals are able to survive a great range of hot and cold temperatures without discomfort.

## Combat

Mineral quasi-elementals' most dangerous ability was to merge with other mineral quasi-elementals nearby. When possible, those elementals would create a single form, larger in size, quicker, more powerful, with faster regeneration. This ability was only limited by the number of the quasi-elementals present. The only way to break the merged elemental was using lightning. When hit with lightning they had a chance of breaking down to the original form.

## Ecology

On the Physical Realm, mineral quasi-elementals dwelt deep beneath the Earth, attracted to rich veins of gold-bearing quartz, and other crystalline deposits. These elementals were territorial creatures in the wild and dwarven communities that came across the mineral elementals' veins tend to respect their territories. Mineral quasi-elementals were much more common on their native Mineral Realm making that realm even more deadly.
