Version 0.27: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Elementals are lumps of primal substance, such as earth or fire, inhabited by animating spirits. They are technically nonliving, and usually only appear when summoned by another creature, though they may be found in the Elven Halls or in areas with a large concentration of their associated element. Although unintelligent and mostly incapable of ranged attacks, they tend to deal heavy elemental damage in melee, are entirely immune to any effect that needs to overcome willpower, ignore damage from poison or negative energy, and most have their own unique traits.

You can use Qazlal's Elemental Force invocation to summon your own elementals based on what types of clouds are around you.
