Creature Spotlight: Tellurium Elemental
A slightly toxic and rare metalloid, tellurium shares many chemical similarities with its group 16 siblings selenium and sulfur, but also has some properties of metals. Tellurium is somewhat rare in the universe but it’s extremely rare on the world of mortals, making tellurium elementals a rare sight to behold unless summoned. Sometimes tellurium exists in its pure elemental form in nature, but it’s more often found in minerals known as tellurides, usually combined with gold and silver.
Tellurium has two allotropes: crystalline and amorphous. Crystaline tellurium forms silver-white crystals, while amorphous tellurium is a brown-black powder. While crystalline tellurium is resistant to oxidation and does not corrode when exposed to air, amorphous tellurium is corrosive and more dangerous. Tellurium elementals embody this duality, being able to switch between a defensive and somewhat passive crystalline form to an aggressive amorphous form at will.
Humanoids poisoned by tellurium suffer from dizziness and weakness, and they exude an overwhelmingly pungent garlic-like smell known as “tellurium breath”.
A few highly advanced societies use tellurium in applications so sophisticated that to the eyes of outsiders seem to blur the line between magic and technology, such as contraptions that harness the power of the sun.
