Useful Info
Air elementals are beings of animated wind. Fast and evasive, they are capable of dealing moderate physical damage. More threaning is their Stunning Burst, which can cause a 1-turn paralysis that is not affected by willpower (but is resistible with electricity resistance).
Monsters can summon them using the Summon Air Elementals spell, and sometimes they will be found following spriggan air mages. Otherwise, you typically only find them in the Elven Halls, the Abyss, the Cloud Mages' Chambers, and certain vaults.
You can also summon them yourself by invoking Qazlal's Elemental Force when storm clouds or clouds of smoke are visible.

Tips & Tricks
- If using Qazlal's Elemental Force, the friendliness of the elemental will depend on the source of the cloud: Your clouds are friendly, ambient clouds are neutral, enemy clouds are hostile.
- One turn paralysis can be deadly - if you're already next to a pack of monsters. At least stand in a corridor when encountering an air elemental, and try to limit its line of fire.
History
- Prior to 0.27, air elementals had the Vortex ability, the monster version of Tornado, and were resistant to the player version themselves.
- Prior to 0.22, air elementals had wind resistance instead of tornado resistance; notably, this also gave them immunity to Airstrike.
- Prior to 0.21, air elementals did not have Vortex.
- Prior to 0.17, air elementals could dissipate, effectively submerging themselves in air, only to reform a few turns later.
