[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 9579604, member: 54629"] Maybe? I mean, we've already got stats for Maegera the Dawn Titan in [I]Storm King's Thunder[/I], so there's that. Maegera is a CR 23 fire-based gargantuan elemental. The elemental cataclysm is a CR 22 gargantuan elemental that has abilities tied to all four main elements (air, earth, fire, and water). I suspect Maegera would need some retuning for the revised rules. Here's a quick comparison: [TABLE width="76%"] [TR] [td width="20.1083%"][/td] [td width="38.9427%"][B]Maegera[/B][/td] [td width="40.7968%"][B]Elemental Cataclysm[/B][/td] [/TR] [TR] [td width="20.1083%"][B]AC[/B][/td][td width="38.9427%"]16[/td][td width="40.7968%"]20[/td] [/TR] [TR] [td width="20.1083%"][B]HP[/B][/td] [td width="38.9427%"]341 (22d20 + 110)[/td] [td width="40.7968%"]370 (20d20 + 160)[/td] [/TR] [TR] [td width="20.1083%"][B]Speed[/B][/td] [td width="38.9427%"]50 ft.[/td][td width="40.7968%"]60 ft., Burrow 60 ft., Fly 80 ft.
