These compund beings (no longer elementals, since they combine aspects of several runes) would have appropriately compound effects, for example, as follows:
Dust Storm (Air, Earth, Disorder)---Storm Bull, Gargath can not be ridden, opaque, and the dust does abrasion damage to everything inside it.
Rain Storm (Air, Water, Fertility)---Heler opaque, aids fertility of earth it touches, can not be ridden or used to throw people around.
Lava (Fire, Earth)---Lodril
no crush damage, but heat damage instead, and more mobile than a gnome.
Cloud (Air, Illusion?)---Heler
opaque, otherwise like a sylph.
Quicksand (Earth, Water, Illusion)---?
attacks by drowning rather than crushing, difficult to spot when stationary,
uses its strength to hinder escape.
Dune (Barren earth)---Maran Gor?
attacks by choking (`drowning') rather than crushing.
Geyser (Water, Fire)---?
attacks by scolding (heat damage), opaque, less intense but larger than an
otherwise equivalent salamander.
