Periodic Table of Elementals: Selenium Elemental – D&D Creature

SELENIUM ELEMENTAL!
Selenium elementals are cutely photoconductive and relatively toxic elemental buddies from Periodic Table of Elementals, my 5E book with unique elementals for ALL 118 chemical elements!

Creature Spotlight: Selenium Elemental
Selenium is a relatively rare element with properties similar to its group 16 siblings sulfur and tellurium and its periodic table neighbor arsenic. Having several allotropes and properties similar to metalloids, selenium is considered by some sages to be a metalloid as well, though most categorize it as a nonmetallic element.
Though most of selenium’s properties are similar to its periodic table neighbors, its crystalline allotropes are outstandingly photoconductive. When exposed to sufficient light, crystalline selenium becomes able to convert light energy into electrical energy and its electroconductivity increases by more than a factor of 1000. This rare property of selenium makes it much sought-after by crafty and ambitious artificers.
Tiny amounts of selenium are essential for many nonmagical creatures, but in larger doses pure selenium and many of its compounds become toxic, though not as much as arsenic.
Selenium elementals are generally easygoing and friendly, if not a bit shy. They often like to socialize with their sulfur elemental siblings, and they will sometimes come together with other elements to form a wide range of compounds, some of them toxic (e.g. with fluorine) or explosive (e.g. with nitrogen).
