Blood Elemental

    Blood elementals are restless spirits that possessed blood and/or water defiled by blood. They usually want to take revenge aginst those that killed it, but they also may simply want ot drink someone's blood to become larger and more powerful. A kavajan legend tells about a "Red Lake" where barbarians were killed and hidden by colonists so they wouldn't tell anyone about the gold and silver hidden in the same lake. Some versions of the tale say that the spirits want that someone obtains the treasure to free them of their curse, other versions say this is just a story to attract people. It is also said that the lake, colored blood-red, is depthless, and its level never changes no matter how much it rains.
