Elemental

"Don't ask me much bout no Shama'Li, private, ain't no bio-whatsit, we got 'nuff things to worry about than havin' to spend our time worrin' 'bout a bunch a freaky painted crazies. But I Will tell ya what our recon teams have to say, they claim those little pudge bodies know secret Ways of talkin' to the earth, and are able to transmute the Gurus of their race into purely Elemental forms. They say they're enormous earth golems, twice as big as normal and havin' great strength. The reports were vague, 'cause they came in while Our recon was under attack. They kept sayin' that the things were real slow and awkward, but that they was deliverin' soopanatral amounts of damage, poundin' our units to dust in toe-to-toe fights. The last message. We were able to decipher was that these Elementals were brainless, that they had lost all other earthly concern, except for combat and defence. So don't ask me no more about those treaks. They gives me the heeb-beejeebies."

Elemental is a Shama'Li War machine unit in War Wind.

Background
A Guru who has acquired all five Bio-Upgrades and whose clan has achieved the same dependencies as a Cruiser can transform into an Elemental. These forces of nature possess awesome combat ability and become entirely preoccupied with matters of attack and defence. They are therefore the most uncharacteristic of all Shama'Li.
