## Elemental Beasts Template
The natural creatures of the Inner Planes are quite similar to the beasts found on the Material Plane, though their connection to an element has changed them. Any beast could be found on an elemental plane, though they may have only a passing resemblance to their non-elemental cousins.
___
- **Prerequisite.** The creature must be a beast.
- **Hit Points.** The creature increases their hit dice by 1.
- **New Traits.** Choose one of the following elements and consult the chart below. This element determines what plane they are from and what new traits they gain.<br>     *Choose One.* Air, Earth, Fire, Water\
- **Further Refinements.** You may need to adjust small things on a stat block for it to work in the new plane. One example is making it so a shark can breathe air and water if you bring it on to a new plane, or adjust the CR of a CR 0 beast if it looks like it is too powerful.

##### Elemental Trait
|Element|Trait|
|:-:|:-|
|Air|**Airy Form.** The creature gains resistance to Lightning and Thunder damage. Also, the beast gains a Fly speed (Hover) equal to it's highest Speed if it doesn't already have a Fly speed.
|Earth|**Rock Form.** When the creature makes a successful attack, the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. The DC is equal to 8 + Proficiency Bonus + Strength modifier. In addition, the creature gains a Burrow speed equal to it's highest Speed if it doesn't already have a Burrow speed.
|Fire|**Fire Form.** The creature gains immunity to Fire damage. In addition, the creature deals additional fire damage on each melee attack based on it's CR; a CR 0 creature deals 1 fire damage, CR 1/8 1d4, CR 1/4 1d6, CR 1/2 1d8, CR 1 1d10, and CR 2+ 1d12.
|Water|**Water Form.** The creature gains resistance to Acid damage. The creature gains the Amphibious trait and can breathe air and water. In addition, they gain a Swim speed equal to it's highest speed if it doesn't already have a Swim speed.

#### No Adjustments
Some beasts may require no adjustments in order to thrive on another plane. A dolphin could easily survive on the Plane of Water with no adjustments to their stat block. In that case, you may decide to not give them resistance to Acid damage as those creatures haven't had to evolve to the environment.
#### Altered Appearance
Elemental beasts have similar forms to their Material Plane counterparts, though they incorporate the elements in strange ways. A fox on the Plane of Air may have a more whispy form with a tail fading into a cloud, while a frog on the Plane of Fire may croak and small sparks of fire shoot out.
