Rockhound
First Body of Stone
Of all the spirits, Rockhounds are both the most childlike and of ancient wisdom. The Rockhound elemental seems contrary to its own nature. They excitedly scramble to pick up any nearby stone that interests them. They exist somewhere between here and Irtomach of the Dreamscape, seemingly pulling rocks and rubble from nowhere and adding them to already existing piles of earth.
