Ice Elemental
Large Elemental, NeutralIce elementals are native to the Para-elemental Plane of Ice, where the Plane of Air and Plane of Water collide. The ice that makes up an ice elemental ranges in color from pale blue to frosty white to gray, although some are transparent. Sharp icicles protrude from their angular forms. The ice elementals can fire these icicles at enemies or use them to pierce foes.
Ice elementals sometimes cross into mortal worlds where cold winds blow across even colder waters. These conditions most often occur in a world's polar regions or where the connections between the world and the Elemental Planes are particularly strong.

Between the Elemental Planes of Air, Earth, Fire, and Water, which exemplify the elements that make up the multiverse, lie the Para-elemental Planes: regions where Elemental Planes collide and their elements mingle. These Para-elemental Planes are the Plane of Ash, the Plane of Ice, the Plane of Magma, and the Plane of Ooze. These planes are home to the para-elementals: ice elementals, magma elementals, mud elementals, and smoke elementals.
