SPECIAL ABILITIES
Whirlwind (Ex) An air monolith can transform itself into a whirlwind at will as a standard action and remain in that form indefinitely. In this form, the monolith can move through the air or along a surface at its fly speed.
The whirlwind is 10 feet wide at the base, up to 50 feet wide at the top, and up to 80 feet tall. The monolith controls the exact height, but it must be at least 20 feet.
The air monolith’s movement while in whirlwind form does not provoke attacks of opportunity, even if the monolith enters the space another creature occupies. Another creature might be caught in the whirlwind if it touches or enters the whirlwind, or if the monolith moves into or through the creature’s space.
Huge or smaller creatures take damage when caught in a whirlwind and may be lifted into the air. An affected creature must succeed on a DC 31 Reflex save when it comes into contact with the whirlwind or take 4d6 points of damage. It must also succeed on a second DC 31 Reflex save or be picked up bodily and held suspended in the powerful winds, auto- matically taking the same damage each round. A creature that can fly is allowed a Reflex save each round to escape the whirlwind. The creature still takes damage but can leave if the save is successful. The save DC is Strength-based.
A creature trapped in a whirlwind cannot move except to go where the air monolith carries it or to escape the whirlwind. It can otherwise act normally, but must succeed on a Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level) to cast a spell. Creatures caught in a whirlwind take a −4 penalty to Dexterity and a −2 penalty on attack rolls. A monolith can have only as many creatures trapped inside a whirlwind at one time as will fit inside the whirlwind’s volume.
An air monolith can eject any carried creatures whenever it wishes, depositing them wherever the whirlwind happens to be. A summoned monolith always ejects trapped creatures before returning to its home plane.
If the whirlwind’s base touches the ground, it creates a swirling cloud of debris. This cloud is centered on the air monolith and has a diameter equal to half the monolith’s height. The cloud obscures all vision, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. Creatures 5 feet away have concealment, while those farther away have total concealment. Those caught in the cloud must succeed on a Concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) to cast a spell.
An air monolith in whirlwind form cannot make slam attacks and does not threaten the area around it.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Earth Glide (Ex) An earth monolith can glide through stone, dirt, or almost any other sort of earth except metal as easily as a fish swims through water. Its burrowing leaves behind no tunnel or hole, nor does it create any ripple or other signs of its presence. A move earth spell cast on an area containing a burrowing earth monolith flings the creature back 30 feet, stunning it for 1 round unless it succeeds on a DC 15 Fortitude save.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Burn (Ex) A fire monolith’s slam attack deals bludgeoning damage plus fire damage because of the creature’s flaming body. Anyone hit by a fire monolith’s slam attack must succeed on a DC 26 Reflex save or catch on fire. The flame burns for 1d4 rounds. Unless it is still in contact with the fire monolith, a burning creature can take a move action to put out the flames. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Creatures that hit a fire monolith with natural weapons or unarmed attacks take fire damage as though hit by the monolith’s attack, and also catch on fire unless they succeed on a DC 26 Reflex save.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Drench (Ex) A water monolith’s touch puts out torches, campfires, exposed lanterns, and other open flames of non- magical origin of they are Huge or smaller. The creature can dispel magical fire it touches, as if using greater dispel magic (caster level 20th).
Vortex (Su) A water monolith can transform itself into a whirlpool at will as a standard action, provided it is underwater. It can remain in that form as long as it likes. In vortex form, a monolith can move through the water or along the bottom at its swim speed.
The vortex is 10 feet wide at the base, up to 50 feet wide at the top, and up to 80 feet tall. The monolith controls the exact height, but it must be at least 20 feet.
A water monolith’s movement while in vortex form does not provoke attacks of opportunity, even if the monolith enters the space another creature occupies. Another creature might be caught in the vortex if it touches or enters the vortex, or if the monolith moves into or through the creature’s space.
Huge or smaller creatures take damage when caught in a vortex and may be swept up by it. An affected creature must succeed on a DC 34 Reflex save when it comes into contact with a vortex or take 4d6 points of damage. It must also succeed on a second DC 34 Reflex save or be picked up bodily and held suspended in the powerful currents, automatically taking the indicated damage each round. An affected creature is allowed a Reflex save each round to escape the vortex. The creature still takes damage, but can leave if the save is successful. The save DC is Strength-based.
A creature trapped in a vortex cannot move except to go where the water monolith carries it or to escape the vortex. It can otherwise act normally, but must make a Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level) to cast a spell. Creatures caught in the vortex take a −4 penalty to Dexterity and a −2 penalty on attack rolls. A monolith can have only as many creatures trapped inside the vortex at one time as will fit inside the vortex’s volume.
A water monolith can eject any carried creatures whenever it wishes, depositing them wherever the vortex happens to be. A summoned monolith always ejects trapped creatures before returning to its home plane.
If the vortex’s base touches the surface beneath a body of water, it creates a swirling cloud of debris. This cloud is centered on the elemental and has a diameter equal to half the vortex’s height. The cloud obscures all vision, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. Creatures 5 feet away have concealment, while those farther away have total concealment. Those caught in the cloud must make a Concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) to cast a spell.
A water monolith in vortex form cannot make slam attacks and does not threaten the area around it.
Water Mastery (Ex) A water monolith can easily affect the movement of ships in any squares it threatens as a full-round action, overturning any craft up to 180 feet long, or halting and holding motionless a ship as long as 360 feet. Larger ships can be reduced to half speed for as long as they remain threatened by the monolith.
