Rock elemental

Not to be confused with Stone golem (monster type).

A rock elemental is a type of monster found primarily in Act 2. Rock elementals are large creatures made of rocks and debris. They have high life and use melee attacks. Some have the ability to roll. Some rock elementals start off looking like a pile of rubble and rise to attack when a character comes near.

Abilities

• Magma versions of rock elementals have increased fire resistance.
