Nubis
In pockets where the barrier to the plane of air is thin sometimes creatures can make it through. One type are known as nubisae, gargantuan air elementals that roam the skies of Aedelor.
A nubis looks from a distance much like the clouds around them, but more structurally shaped. They are so large that they are usually disregarded by those who see them as just an odd cloud. Their shape is reminiscent of sea creatures such as a horseshoe crab or a nautilus, and they sweep across the sky feeding on water droplets in the air. Besides their shape, one can also try to identify them by the trail of vaporous cloud they leave behind.
Nubisae tend to remain above large bodies of water, and are not hostile or dangerous unless a flying creature attempts to fly through them, in which case they will collide. If a nubis becomes agitated or threatened, they will turn stormy and siphon water from the sea to create a dangerous water spout.
