Earth fundamentals, larger than the other fundamentals, have a wingspan of up to 2 1/2 feet. These very solid, dense creatures boast thick wings of deep brown and black.
Flocks of earth fundamentals gather on the Prime Material Plane in places where the element of earth is particularly concentrated, such as tar pits and deep caverns. Earth fundamentals consume earth, gems, and metal. They occasionally dine on the remains of an unfortunate adventuring party's armour.
Combat
Earth fundamentals attack with the same swooping aerial attack that other fundamentals use. However, their tactics often involve sweeping very low along the ground and attempting to knock over its foes.

Damage Reduction (Su): An earth fundamental has damage reduction of 5/magic.
Immunity to Mind-Affecting Spells (Ex): An earth fundamental is immune to all mind-affecting spells.

Skills: Earth fundamentals have a +2 racial bonus to all Hide and Move Silently checks. *An earth fundamental receives an additional +4 racial bonus to Hide checks when they are in natural caves or tunnels.
