When summoned to the Material Plane , an earth elemental consists of whatever types of dirt, stones, precious metals, and gems it was conjured from.
Earth elementals speak Terran but rarely choose to do so.
Though an earth elemental moves slowly , it is a relentless opponent. It can travel though solid ground or stone as easily as humans walk on the earth’s surface. It cannot swim, however, and must either walk around a body of water or go through the ground under it. An earth elemental can move along the bottom of a body of water but prefers not to.
Earth Mastery (Ex ):elemental gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls if both it and its foe are touching the ground. If an opponent is airborne or waterborne, the elemental takes a –4 penalty on attack and damage rolls . (These modifiers are not included in the statistics block.)
Push (Ex ): An earth elemental can start a bull rush maneuver without provoking an attack of opportunity . The combat modifiers given in Earth Mastery, above, also apply to the elemental ’s opposed Strength checks.
Earth Glide (Ex ): An earth elemental can glide through stone, dirt, or almost any other sort of earth except metal as easily as a fish swims through water. Its burrowing leaves behind no tunnel or hole, nor does it create any ripple or other signs of its presence. A move earth elemental flings the elemental back 30 feet, stunning the creature for 1 round unless it succeeds on a DC 15 Fortitude save .
