Paraelementals

Many adventurers know of the elementals, massive creatures of the 4 pure elements. Much rarer, however, are the Paraelementals.

Where any two Elemental Planes intersect, a new plane forms, contiguous with its two parent planes. These are called the Paraelemental planes. On these planes, both of its parent elements combine and occasionally an elemental can form from them.

Dungeon Masters can allow for Circle of the Moon Druids to Wild Shape into the following elementals using their Elemental Wild Shape feature. The Dungeon Master, as always, has the final say on this and can forbid Druids from transforming into paraelemental or require that they first encounter a paraelemental.
