A creature with the Necromental Template is the undead remnant of a formerly living elemental. It loses much of its mental capacity and sense of self as it turns evil and becomes infused with negative energy. Necromentals inflict energy drain with their natural weapon attacks. Other elemental slain by a necromental's energy drain rise up as new necromentals several days later. Necromentals also have fast healing.^[1]

Descriptive Text

“The thing that did this was for a century confined within sewers and charged with the gathering of bone. The night that birthed Necropolis undid its chain and its life, bequeathing freedom and undeath upon what had been a corrupted elemental of water. It fled the power that arose to command the slain and made the Musarde and its tributaries, save for the Vulchar to which it does not return, its abode. Its passions are strong currents, rushing waters, and living bone. The ivory of its victims it dons as you or I might a fine cloak. The cloak does not make the man, but the man makes much of the cloak. Listen for a soft chattering. Listen for a rattling roar. And where man, woman and child are flood caught, their screams cut short are its sign.”

-Count Strahd von Zarovich XI, instructions for the hunt of Old Bones^[2]
