An incapacitated creature can repeat the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect for itself on a success. Constructs and undead are immune to this effect.

These creatures wander the idyllic lands of Lorwyn, the few sorrows of that paradise held within its body, corrupting it so that they do not corrupt the land.

Another monster from a Magic: The Gathering card, in this case Mournwhelk from the Lorwyn set.

Ember Guard Huge elemental, lawful evil Armor Class 20 (natural armor) Hit Points 188 (13d12 + 104) Speed 30 ft.

When the ember guard dies, it explodes, and each creature within 60 feet of it must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) bludgeoning damage and 10 (3d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

A creature that fails its save also has its speed halved and has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until the end of its next turn.

These cruel creatures are gifts from Imix, the fire Prince of Elemental Evil. They often serve efreets and other fire-associated evil creatures. They are slow and dim-witted, and in combat they mostly breathe fire on their foes to hamper them before wading in with their rocky flaming fists. They are thoroughly loyal to whoever Imix created them to serve, raised from a lake of fire by the evil Prince himself, serving as bodyguards or soldiers in elemental armies. Sometimes, efreet or salamanders hire out these creatures as mercenaries, and some spellcasters on the material plane have learned to bind these as well, sometimes reclaiming ember guards whose original masters had died long ago.

On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage, and doesn't catch fire.

A creature from the world of Zendikar, from Magic the Gathering, adapted for D&D 3.5.

Cinder swarms are malevolent elemental spirits that are found in forest fires, volcanoes, and similar places. They are composed of thousands and thousands of tiny sparks, all swarming together in a vortex of heat and smoke. These swarms are rare but deadly, able to consume hordes of enemies and set them ablaze. Summoners sometimes bind cinder swarms as servants, but they are fickle allies and rarely can be controlled for long.

Magma Hurler Medium elemental, chaotic evil Armor Class 15 (natural armor) Hit Points 60 (8d8 + 24) Speed 25 ft.

Sometimes they are bound by summoners as guardians, and can be found naturally in lava fields or near volcanoes. Magma hurlers stand between 6 and 8 feet tall, and weigh around 500 pounds.

Stone spikes are elemental creatures often summoned by dwarves to aid in warfare, tunneling, and general labor. They have a strong kinship with them, sharing the same dogged work ethic and rugged nature. Stone spikes stand about five feet tall and resemble a roughly-worked column of stone, with crystal-covered arms and legs.

Chraal   Large elemental, neutral evil Armor Class 13 (natural armor)   Hit Points 171 (18d10 + 72)   Speed 40 ft.   Str 19, Dex 11, Con 18, Int 9, Wis 10, Cha 12 Damage Immunities cold   Damage Vulnerabilities fire   Senses darkvision 60 ft. passive Perception 10   Languages Common, Yeti   Challenge 7 (2900 XP)   

Death Throes. When the chraal dies, its body lets out a blast of cold, and each creature within 30 feet of it must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) piercing damage and 10 (3d6) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.    

--Actions--   Multiattack. The chraal makes three attacks: two with its claws, and one with its bite.   Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Each creature in that area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Chraals are the remnants of hateful elemental spirits from the planes of air and water. The creature looks like a demon formed from bluish-black ice, its innards glowing with a cerulean fire. They are sometimes bound as servants by spellcasters who know how to summon them. Usually, however, they wander alone - always alone - on the border between the elemental planes of air and water, where they attack interlopers without mercy. A chraal stands about 8 feet tall and weighs over 1,000 pounds. It’s head sits atop broad shoulders, and its sports rows of sharp icicle-like teeth and vicious claws. Chraals cannot speak or communicate in any way, but can be commanded and will follow the orders of those who summon them.

Voidwraith Medium undead, neutral evil Armor Class 15 Hit Points 78 (12d8 + 24) Speed 0 ft., fly 60 ft.

A vaccuum surrounds the voidwraith, making it difficult to breathe.

While affected, the creature's speed is halved, it has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks, it can't cast spells that have verbal components, and the voidwraith has advantage on attack rolls against it. Incorporeal Movement. The voidwraith can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object. Actions Steal Life. Melee Spell Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 18 (3d8+5) necrotic damage plus 9 (2d8) cold damage.

Voidwraiths are wraith-like undead who hunger for the breath of the living. These creatures are believed by some to be the undead spirits of air elementals, while others theorize they form from the last breaths of those who died painful deaths. However they form, these creatures lurk in graveyards, old battlefields, and anywhere death is present. They like to lurk in the shadows, rising to attack when foes draw close. Amorphous and cloudlike, they usually take the form of a snakelike creature, rising from the ground, black vapor undulating around two glowing red slits for eyes.

Magmacore Golem Medium construct, unaligned Armor Class 18 (natural armor) Hit Points 68 (8d8 + 32) Speed 30 ft. Str 16, Dex 14, Con 18, Int 4, Wis 8, Cha 6 Damage Immunities fire, lightning, poison, psychic; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical attacks that aren’t adamantine Condition Immunities charmed, exhaustion, frightened, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned Senses darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 9 Languages understands the languages of its creator but can’t speak Challenge 6 (2300 XP) Immutable Form. The golem is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form. Magic Resistance. The golem has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. Magic Weapons. The golem’s weapon attacks are magical. Shattered Armor. When the golem is reduced to less than half its hit point maximum, its armor shatters. When this happens, its AC becomes 12, and its slam attacks deal an additional 9 (2d8) fire damage on a hit. In addition, any weapon that damages the golem takes a cumulative −1 penalty to damage rolls. If its penalty drops to −5, the weapon is destroyed. Otherwise, the penalty ends after 1 minute. If the golem's armor is repaired, these changes end. Actions Multiattack. The golem makes two slam attacks. Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d8+3) bludgeoning damage. Molten Stomp (Recharge 5-6). The golem stomps on the ground, causing the ground around it to burst into flame. Each creature within 10 feet of the golem must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 18 (4d8) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. In addition, the area becomes difficult terrain for 1 minute, and any creature that starts its turn there takes 4 (1d8) fire damage. Pouring 1 gallon of water or dealing 5 or more cold damage to an affected 5-foot square ends the effect for that square.

Magmacore golems are created from a binding of two different elemental spirits: one of earth and one of fire. They are found in groups as often as alone. Making the armor and binding the elemental spirits is a difficult task, and ends badly for the caster as often as it is successful. They are almost always guardians, and, as could be expected, are most often found near volcanoes, whether active or dormant, guarding ancient ruins or a mage’s fortress. Magmacore golems stand around 6 feet tall and weigh almost 2000 pounds.

Also, I know I have been slow on putting out requested monsters, I promise those who have requested monsters that I have worked on nearly all of them, and they are mostly complete, but I want to make sure they are properly balanced and tweaked before releasing them.
