Homebrew Ice Elemental Species Details

Ice Elementals are very secretive and don't interact with the world much. They have all have an affinity for some level of ice magic, and they can survive in the coldest environments with no adverse effects, however too much heat can damage or kill them. They aren't made of ice, but they have ice flowing through their veins, acting like blood and staying in liquid form through some unknown magical means.

These elementals don't really have a traditional naming system, so if one ventures out into the world, they usually choose a simple name for the outside world to understand. Other than this fact, most things about their society and how they function is unknown. They use magic to conceal the locations of their villages, and are very distrustful of outsiders. Hardly anyone even really knows of their existence.
