No Paraelemental Archomentals?[edit]

Why is Ice the only paraelemental plane to get an archomental, and why only an evil one at that?2001:4930:48:53:59BE:2B20:A4EE:8482 23:32, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

As a matter of fact, there are other para-archomentals, but they're incredibly minor figures in Planescape lore; the first appearance of them was in the original Manual of the Planes, where we were introduced to Bwimb of Ooze, Ehkhak of Smoke, and Chlimbia of Magma - Bwimb was killed and replaced by his daughter Bwimb II in the adventure "Dead Gods". Quasi-Archomentals consist of Gazra of Ash, Crystalle of Minerals, Alu-Kahn-Sang of Dust, Ty-h'kadi of Storm, and Sun Sing of Vacuum. They are, to my knowledge, given pretty much a name and that's it in the original "The Inner Planes" splatbook for Planescape. The complete list of articles/splats where Archomentals have appeared include the Monster Manual IV for 3e, the Monster Manual 3 for 4e, the Manual of the Planes for multiple editions, Secrets of the Plane Below for 4e, the Fiend Folio, the Inner Planes, Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, the adventure Egg of the Phoenix, the Planescape Monstrous Compendium Appendix III, and articles in Dungeon Magazine #37 - #124 - #129 and Dragon Magazine #285 - #347 - #353.--QuietBrowser (talk) 04:45, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
