'''Elemental''' is a form of [[monster attribute]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]], and is defined by the <tt>'''MA_ELEMENTAL'''</tt> monster attribute flag in <tt>monst.c</tt>.

==Description==
Elemental beings are inorganic monsters, and thus lack innards and are incapable of becoming [[undead]].

Hostile elemental beings are vulnerable to the Nurturing [[Word of Creation]], whose active power deals ({{sfrac|XL|2}})d12 damage to them.
