Born of the chaos embodied in the violent conflicts of the elements, the creature manifests as a living entity without discernable shape or form. They appear only as a darker mass in the deep dark clouds, for this is where the creature comes to life, drawing the power of the storm within it. They express themselves through the forked tongues of their lightning, which they hurl constantly. This is the most visible form the creature takes; a rush of thick cloud that follows the arc of its own energy as it strikes those around it. The cloud assumes an almost tangible shape as it follows the arcing electricity. \n'b'  Clouds within Clouds . The grindlwere possess no physical form beyond that of the storm which gives them life. They do not eat or need any sustenance; they draw their energy from the storms themselves. Their life ends when the storm passes and the magic that gave birth to it fades. These creatures are almost impossible to detect until the storm itself brews, at such times those experienced enough may detect the creature as a ball of lightning or strange undulating darkness in the clouds. \n'b'  Mindless Destroyers . These creatures thrive on violence and attack by thundering down upon their victims with a massive bolt of lightning. This is often the first hint that someone has they are being attacked. They are unreasoning creatures without the ability to speak or understand for they hardly recognize that they are alive. On rare occasions, encounters with more than one occur, but these happen only during massive storms. At such times the grindlwere never act in concert or for that matter, even recognize that another grindlwere is present.'
