==Useful Info==
'''Water elementals''' are animate blobs of water, surging toward their foes and drowning the unwary. Their melee attacks [[engulf]] the victim, which deals [[asphyxiation]] damage over time and [[silence]]s you. Moving away or killing the engulfer ends the effect. Players that are [[unbreathing]] or [[amphibious]] are immune to the effects of engulf.

Water elementals can be found throughout [[the Shoals]] and [[Cocytus]], and in some water-based vaults in [[the Dungeon]] and [[the Depths]]. They can also be summoned by monsters through the [[Summon Water Elementals]] spell. Players can summon them when [[Qazlal]]'s Elemental Force affects [[freezing vapour]]s or rain clouds.

==Tips & Tricks==
*Unless you're immune to engulfing, avoid mindlessly [[tab]]bing through water elementals. Once they've engulfed you, you can't use [[scroll]]s, [[god]] abilities, or spells to escape, which can be deadly if other monsters are around.
*Their [[electricity]] resistance makes it difficult for [[Air Magic]]-users to take them out, though [[Airstrike]] is a perfectly acceptable method for defeating them.
*Keep in mind that they move much faster when in water.
*Water elementals are vulnerable to [[Fire Magic]] and other sources of fire damage. Casting fire spells at a water elemental that is currently standing in water is particularly effective, as the [[steam]] this generates will do even more damage. Even [[wands of flame]] can take them down in a few turns.

==History==
*Prior to [[0.33]], water elementals were not [[amorphous]].
*Prior [[0.22]], the Engulf status slowed movement but did not block god abilities.
*Prior to [[0.13]], water elementals had normal melee attacks.
