Biting Wind
An eeire, high pitched whistling as if a giant breath blowing across a sea of crystal goblets sounds, with a lower, thrumming tone felt in the bones... which grows louder with astonishing speed...

Biting wind is a collection of almost mindless air elementals that to most senses are instinguishable from normal wind. Until the wind hits them, tearing the flesh from their bones. Then it becomes apparent it is anything but normal.
Combat:
Unless directed in some way a biting wind rarely does more than blow through once in its neverending flight from one place to the next. If controlled or in some way threatened or angered they will shoot past their foes repeatedly and then disapear out of range of most wepons before any can react. They will repeat this until they or their foe can no longer fight.
Air Mastery (Ex):
Biting wind gains a +4 bonus on its attack and damage rolls if its opponent is airborne.
Forceful Blow (Ex):
When a Biting Wind blows through it is treated as a temporary hurricane. Along with taking damage, unless a DC 20 fortitude check is made, medium or smaller characters are blown away, large creatures are knocked down, and huge creatures are checked (see p. 95 of the DMG).
Instinctive Fear (Ex):
Biting Wind produces a sound like that of an approaching tornado, which causes a primal dread in most non-mindless creatures. Those within 120 feet of a Biting Wind must make a DC 18 Will check or become shaken for the entire duration of their presence. Those who make the save are unaffected by the sound for the rest of the day.
Naturally Invisible (Ex):
Biting wind is naturally invisible unless a spell for seeing the unseen is cast and then it appears as a massive cloud of vague, bladed crystals with curling, thrashing tails.
