Posted Feb 24, 2025Why are these elementals? They seem more like humanoids, or maybe monstrosities if they really needed to change it. Seems weird.

Posted May 9, 2025Some changes don't make sense, like the Giant Eagle, Elk, and Owl being celestials. However, some changes do to make them more in line with lore. I don't see anything wrong with merfolk being water-based elementals.

Posted May 20, 2025Rather than an Elemental being strictly a creature made up of Fire or Air, etc, they have expanded the definition to creatures that have a fundamental connection to an Element. Merfolk aren't just marine humanoids, they have an intrinsic connection to Water. This expanded definition makes some monsters stand apart more and gives Elementals more CR coverage.
