Elementals are manifestations of the basic nature of the universe. There are four known forms of elementals: air, fire, water, and earth. Some mystics have postulated the necessity for a fifth type, the spirit elemental, but none have ever been encountered, at least on this plane of existence.

Air elemental

The air elemental is one of the four types of elementals in the dungeon and, indeed, the fastest monster of any sort in the entire game. They appear both on the Plane of Air (guaranteed) and in the main dungeon (random). Unlike other elementals, air elementals can engulf players. Their main attack is to pummel the player with debris; this can be quite deadly to unprepared characters due to their extreme speed and because, unlike against other whirly monsters, one cannot acquire a resistance against the physical damage. Air elementals are not genocidable. They are also immune to petrification and poison.

In previous versions of NetHack, air elementals dealt twice the damage than they currently do; it was reduced in version 3.4.0.
