Designed and bred over dozens of generations to operate Clan [[battle armor]], Elementals are the largest and strongest of the three common Clan warrior phenotypes. Elementals average 2-2.5 meters in height and are disproportionally muscular compared to even the strongest [[Inner Sphere]] warrior. While generally used as shock troops, Elementals have found use in other military roles as well, such as security personnel or marines. Elementals who wash out of training usually end up in the [[Laborer Caste]] due to their tremendous strength and endurance.<ref>''Classic BattleTech RPG'', p. 81</ref> <ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 23</ref> + '''Elementals''' are armored infantry of the [[Clans]]. Elementals are genetically bred to be the largest and strongest of the three common Clan warrior phenotypes. They wear [[battle armor]] which gives them tremendous strength, protection, and mobility, and allows Elementals to compete 'mechs. The suit can withstand considerable punishment before it is breached and, once breached, the armor administers pain-killers, stimulants, and other medicines to keep the wearer alive and at full battle strength. [[Harjel]] is also injected at the breach site to seal the suit and the wearer's wound. − Very few Elementals rise above the rank of [[Star Commander]] within the [[Clan military structure]]. The usual reason given is that, as infantry officers, they have a hard time keeping up with swift-moving 'Mechs in combat and so cannot lead effectively. In truth it is the result of an unspoken bias among Clan warriors who reason that, with so much focus on making Elementals immense muscular fighters, their intellectual capacity suffered. Those who do succeed above their supposed station - notably those who have become [[Khan|Khans]] or even [[ilKhan]] - are proof enough as to the error of this unfortunate prejudice.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 78</ref>+ When the [[Inner Sphere]] first encountered elementals, it was thought that these might be alien invaders due to the odd look of the suit and the superhuman abilities it bestows its wearer. Elementals were nicknamed toads by Inner Sphere warriors because of there amazing ability to jump and evade fire. − Some people, in the lower castes, called the Elementals ''Bulk'', a derogatory term.<ref>''Icons of War'', p. 47</ref>+ Under the Clan military organization system, a [[Point]] of elementals consists of five warriors. A [[Star]] is composed of 5 points, a total of 25 elementals. − − [[Freeborn]] Elementals are a rare occurrence, often the offspring of trueborn parent(s) who had washed out of training and been assigned to the civilian castes, or common offspring who happen to naturally develop the strength necessary for the role. Despite their stature they are no less the subject of prejudice than that faced by other freeborns within a given Clan.<ref>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 87</ref><ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 111</ref> − − ==Notable Elementals== − <div class="desktop-3-col"> − *[[James Cobb]] − *[[Theresa DelVillar]] − *[[Evantha Fetladral]] − *[[Patrik Fetladral]] − *[[Malavai Fletcher]] − *[[Jake Kabrinski]] − *[[Garmen Kerensky]] − *[[Niko West]] − *[[Taman Malthus]] − *[[Josef Mannix]] − *[[Ian Moon]] − *[[Paul Moon]] − *[[Tiaret Nevversan]] − *[[Elson Novacat]] − *[[Lincoln Osis]] − *[[Marijoan Shaw]] − *[[Hannibal Sradac]] − *[[Santin West]] − </div> − − ==References== − <references/> − − ==Bibliography== − * ''[[Classic BattleTech RPG]]'' − * ''[[Era Report: 3145]]'' − * ''[[Icons of War]]'' − * ''[[Jade Falcon Sourcebook]]'' − * ''[[Wolf Clan Sourcebook]]'' − − − [[Category:Clan Phenotypes]]
