"I offer this blood so that you may live, I offer this blood so that you may suffer."
——Verbal Component to summoning a Blood Elemental
Blood Elementals are horrific creatures, being comprised of hardened, coagulated blood twisted into the visage of a large suffering humanoid. From their semi-solid form drips various types of blood, including the blood of their victims, which trails down to the ground and is reabsorbed in a gruesome cycle.

Characteristics
Blood Elementals, despite their terrible appearance, are not inherently evil creatures. It is the magical rituals summoning them from nothingness that turn them evil, commonly requiring many necromantic components, including the suffering of living mortals. In order to exist on the material plane, Blood Elementals must periodically absorb living creatures to maintain the structure of their bodies, and excrete the poisoned blood from previous victims, which grows more unstable over time. This simple self preservation process, while a means of self-sustenance for the monster, is often the horrific death of an unfortunate victim.
History
Many speculate as to whether the Blood Elemental was first created by Necromancy, or if it was drawn from some strange elemental plane of blood. If such dimensions exist, it is not common knowledge among practitioners of
Divine or Eldritch magics. The secrets of summoning these monstrosities are heavily guarded among those who would wield their power, perhaps just as much for their own safety as the safety of the outside world. Summoning such a gruesome behemoth is not an act to be taken lightly in any magical circle.
Culture
Blood Elementals have no culture of their own, save the desire to become closer to all natural living things, much to the dismay of their victims.
