[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6299026, member: 57383"] There's nothing about them being spawned from destruction in the original monster, so I think we should cut that bit out. For the description, the 2E version has "looks like a billowing cloud of dust, with tiny, eyelike pockets of swirling particles" and 1E "billowing clouds of dust, dominated by brighter motes which are collected into the “eyes” of the creature". The 2E version also says "It revels in the obliteration of solid objects, especially the pulverization of worked or crafted materials" and the 1E "They are rarely found in the Prime Material plane, and then only in desertlike regions where the winds have pulverized most of the earth to sand". In addition, Dust Quasis are prone to attack those that provoke them - in 2E "if crossed, a dust quasielemental stops at nothing to slay the berk who did it harm", and in 1E "unlike other quasi-elementals and elementals, these creatures attempt to seek out the ones who have enslaved them and slay them". I think we should work those details into the description. How's this... [I]A billowing cloud of dust, with eyelike hollows that swirl with glittering motes.[/I] Dust quasi-elementals inhabit the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Dust, which is formed from the junction of the Negative Energy Plane and the Elemental Plane of Earth. Dust quasi-elementals are living embodiments of destruction, who revel in the pulverization of solid objects, especially manufactured items. These quasi-elementals are dangerous and vengeful. They will try to destroy anyone that crosses them, but are no more evil than a tornado or mudslide. On their native plane, dust quasi-elementals wander around without any organization or plan beyond disintegrating anything they come across. They occassionally cluster into leaderless mobs and wreak great destruction. Dust quasi-elementals are content to destroy matter whereever they happen to be. They have no interest in leaving their native plane, but if forced to do so they are just as uninterested in returning. Spellcasters tend to avoid summoning dust quasi-elementals, because the vengeful creatures attempt to seek out and pulverize anyone who attempts to capture or enslave them. A dust quasi-elemental has the same height and weight as a X elemental of the same size. Well one can hope! [/QUOTE]
