All that's left is writing it up. I thought of a few things that needed to be added, such as how it separates (including the original's "separated by lightning damage" SQ).So how about this:Merge (Su): Two mineral quasi-elemental of the same size can merge together into a single being as a standard action. The  resulting merged creature has the statistics of a mineral  quasi-elemental one category higher than the component mineral  quasi-elementals (e.g. two Huge mineral quasi-elementals merge into a greater mineral quasi-elemental), with the following alterations.  <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> The merged creature's Hit Dice equal  the sum of the Hit Dice of its component quasi-elementals. The maximum size of a merged creature is a monolith mineral quasi-elemental with 108 Hit Dice. Any merging that would exceed this limit will automatically fail. Recalculate statistics that depend upon Hit  Dice if the merged creature's HD are different from a standard  mineral quasi-elemental of its size.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The merged creature has  twice the number of slam attacks and twice the fast healing  of an  unmerged mineral quasi-elemental of its size category.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Susceptibility to Lightning (Ex): The merged creature gains the special quality that it must succeed at a Fortitude save whenever it takes electricity damage (DC 15 or the DC of the attack, whichever is greater) or instantly separate into its component mineral quasi-elementals.</li> </ul>Mineral quasi-elementals are capable of merging multiple times. Each  merger must be between two creatures of the same size, but each creature  can be either a normal mineral quasi-elemental or a merged mineral  quasi-elemental. The Hit Dice of the resulting creature equals the sum of the HD of all  the component mineral quasi-elementals. The fast healing and number of  slam attacks do not stack over multiple mergings, but are always double the value that would be  possessed by a mineral quasi-elemental of the final merged creature's  size. Thus, an elder mineral quasi-elemental former from sixteen Medium  mineral quasi-elementals merged together has four slam attacks and fast  healing X [?].The merged creature can separate into its component mineral quasi-elementals as a swift action. Any damage it has taken will be divided as evenly as possible between the component creatures. The merged creature is considered to be a single creature for the purpose of effects that target a specific number of targets, such as charm monster, but it is only considered a single creature as long as it is merged. If the merged creature separates any ongoing effects will only continue if they are able to affect all the mineral quasi-elementals it was formed from.</blockquote>
