Description
This creature of pure sand moves with an eerie grace, shifting back and forth between a detailed likeness of a human and a muted and featureless bipedal form. The sand sentry is often called upon by spellcasters to stand guard over an area of great importance; these elementals are patient participants in such roles, making them well suited for long-term service.
Certain earth elementals manifest as specific types of material, be they boulders, sand, or crystals.
