Homebrew Water Elemental Species Details
Water elementals are incarnations of the primal energies found on the Elemental Plane of Water. Usually, most are called on by spellcasters and powerful beings to take shape and perform tasks, and are returned to their home planes when slain or dismissed. However, in extremely rare instances the essence of one will remain, whether it is by the grace of an Elemental Lord, a strong enough will to remain, or just simple cosmic chance. Instead, its energies become tethered to the Material Plane, and it develops sentience.
