These elementals have chosen to inhabit and shape the ambient air and wind of Felarya. They are typically the fastest and most agile of elementals and can fly or float. They tend to be rather weak physically though and rely a lot on magic, creating whirlwinds of air to suck up prey and deflecting attacks with armor made of wind. Most of them are also able to move in almost total silence and this, combined with their speed, makes them fearsome predators.
Brizz
Brizzs are nasty creature made out of malevolent spirits that possesses air. With their intangible look they are often mistaken for ghosts, but they actually do possess a body, in the form of a small, transparent, floating nexus, enveloped by raging winds carrying dust, small stones, and pebbles. They dwell on mountaintops, in deserts, and in plains, wandering aimlessly and seeking to rend anything that comes near with cruel claws of wind. Brizzs vary widely in size and present varied threats, but most of them are not very smart, with a simple but very hostile nature. They are hard to destroy through any means but magic; throwing things into a brizz just gives it missiles to throw back at the attacker, and approaching its vulnerable nexus within striking range is dangerous. Even magic is not that helpful, with some chance of it backfiring. Fire, in particular, is to be avoided at all cost, for a brizz set ablaze will incinerate whatever it envelopes. Generally speaking, brizzs are best avoided altogether. Technically, one can neutralize a brizz by simply inhaling it whole and digesting the nexus, which is said to also have the benefit of giving the inhaler the temporary ability of flight.
