Description
A monster composed of many prism shaped crystals surrounding a core, a face of a similarly prism shaped (but significantly larger) stone that has an opening along the edges of the front of the creature revealing a core composed of what seems to be material for some arcane focuses. They are able to travel by placing four of their crystals above the floor, and its body follows it. Its existence is entirely due to earth elementals being exposed to immense amounts of arcane energy, thus it does not leave its source of existence frequently. It absorbs magical energies as a form of sustenance so arcane spellcasters catch this the monster's attention with ease.
Lair and Lair Actions
