Creature Spotlight: Mercury Elemental
One of only two elements that are liquid at standard conditions, mercury is a heavy metal whose unusual properties have been fascinating alchemists and sages for centuries. While some rare metals such as caesium and gallium melt with just a bit of heat, mercury is the only metal that’s naturally liquid despite being more than thirteen times denser than water.
Mercury is toxic and dangerous to handle without special precautions, but resourceful artificers have found ways to use mercury’s peculiar physical properties as a dense liquid metal in various inventions, including measuring instruments and electrochemical contraptions. Mortals who manage to befriend a mercury elemental discover that they usually make for resourceful, if not sometimes erratic, allies.
Mercury bonds easily with most metals, including aluminium, silver, and even gold to form alloys known as amalgams. However, iron, tantalum, tungsten, platinum, and some light metals do not form amalgams, a fact that often annoys mercury elementals.
Mercury elementals are crafty, shifty, and often whimsical, able to change their shape, squeeze through tiny openings, and befuddle enemies with their unusual properties and unpredictable behavior.
