Elemental Origins and VariationsEdit

Elementals in fictionEdit

LegendsEdit

During the 16th century, the alchemist Paracelsus grouped the Elementals into four groups:

• Fire Elementals (Salamanders)
• Water Elementals (Undines)
• Earth Elementals (Gnomes)
• Wind (Air) Elementals (Sylph)

Popular cultureEdit

In fantasy culture, particularly in computer games such as Dungeons & Dragons, Final Fantasy, and Pokemon, Elementals are known to have made appearances. Obviously, the four main elements play an important role in the games, although there are many variations of Elementals both within and outside these groups, such as ice, lava, and electricity. Fire Elemantals (or Salamanders,) also appear in the British horror book series, The Wardstone Chronicles (known as The Last Apprentice book series in the United States).

Elementals in Monster HighEdit

In the Monster High franchise, core character Holt Hyde, his father, Mr Hyde (as well as his alter ego's, Jackson Jekyll's) and his cousin, Heath Burns are all known Fire Elementals. Their hair is made of fire. In the series, when Heath gets excited, his head bursts into flames.

C.A. Cupid is said to be an unknown type of elemental, as it is so stated in Cupid's diary that Ghoulia suspects her to be a rare type of bone elemental.

The ice girl as well as the stone boy are possibly ice and stone elementals respectively.

NotesEdit

• The Perfect Guy might be a smoke elemental.
