Elemental Beings, the majority of them just want to be left alone right?, they dont care about things like Good or Evil, Chaos or Law. For Elementals all that matters is that nothing changes, and no one around them attempts to change their "perfect" in their eyes, plane of existance. To exisit as they are is all they desire.
However the Elemental Grue arent your ordinary elementals, their Evil pure and simple and damn proud of it. None of this uncareing neutrality of their often stronger cousins no sir. Like the god like Archomental Princes, Grues have an ethical agender and its not a good one, unlike the Archomentals though they havent got the psyhical clout to get to far, but that doesnt stop them trying. They bully, harrass and torture anything thats weaker than them (elemental or otherwise) into submission, and then toy with their victim untill it no longer holds there interest, after which death typicaly insues.
On the Prime Elemental grues are rare, and for good reason, no wizard would attempt to bring such a being into the prime without good reason. Because you see, Grues are special... All grues exude a nullifying field of Elemental power around them typicaly around 50 feet in diameter, this field completely shuts down any and all magic related to there native element, Fighter with a Flameing swords near a Harginn... poof the flames go out, a Wizard tries to cast a Lighting bolt spell while a Ildriss is near by... fizzle puff, nothing!. Spells, Spell like Effects, Explosive Glyphs based elements, Elemental Barriers you name it, if its got the same Elemental traits as the Grue near by its dispell'd. The only exception being Magic Items with Elemental Effects, while within the grues nullifying field their effects are supressed but not destroyed completly.
While this trait sees few Grue into the Prime, a wise spell caster specialising in a particular Element can use a summoned Grues field to thwart an opposing Elemental Specialists Spell Casting. However, dealing with such vile elemental beings regulary isnt worth the hassle.
