Ecology
Invisible Stalkers are Air Elementals refined and bound to a single purpose by powerful summoning. They have no needs while bound, sustained by the spell that called them. They retain elemental hatred for their summoners and execute commands grudgingly, hoping for the binding to fail. They do not reproduce; each is summoned individually, often via the Conjure Elemental or similar spells.
Behaviour
Ruthless and single-minded, an Invisible Stalker hunts its target until completion, traveling thousands of miles if necessary. They never speak, communicating only through subtle disturbances of air. They do not pause for sleep or food. When the binding ends or the target is killed, they return to the Plane of Air, seeking the summoner specifically for delayed revenge.
Origin
Created by archmages and powerful clerics through specific spells, Invisible Stalkers are not naturally occurring beings but rather Air Elementals warped by binding magic. The transformation is permanent unless dispelled. Some sages believe enough free Stalkers gather on the Plane of Air, plotting revenge against mortal summoners. Powerful efreeti and djinni regard them with disdain, viewing them as elemental slaves rather than peers.
