Monsters: Element Creatures
Manual of the Planes for D&D 3.0 features a set of templates that turn normal creatures into 
elementals. Basically, they are the elemental variants of the "celestial/fiendish" templates. I decided against making them into lenses, but to just convert the example creatures by combining the normal creatures with some traits of the elemental creature. I did use the air element squids in one of my games. They are strong.

Sharp Beak (13): thrust -5 large piercing (KYOS: 1d-7 large piercing), Reach C.
Ink: An air element squid may fill a two-yard-radius area with black ink. No one can see into the affected area, and no one within the affected area can see anything; see p. B394 for combat rules. In addition, this ink cloud imposes a -4 penalty on Smell rolls. A squid can use this ability only 4 times per day, and only air. Once created, the cloud persists for 10 seconds, drifting with the wind.

Vine Slam (12): thrust 2d crushing (KYOS: 2d+1 crushing) + 1d-2 follow-up fatigue damage from cold (treat FP lost to this attack identically to FP lost to the cold for all purposes, notably recovery (see Cold, p. B430)), Reach C.
Chill Aura: The tundra shambler always emits cold. The temperature changes at a rate of 4° per second up to a minimum of 40° below the ambient temperature in a two-yard radius around the tundra shambler. This ability never does damage directly.
Electricity Absorption: The tundra shambler has DR 20 against electricity, is immune to electrical conduction and noxious electrical effects. Each point of damage this DR stops turns into one character point that the tundra shambler can use to heal itself. These points are stored into a pool that can contain up to 20 character points. Once this pool is full, each point of DR will still stop one point of electricity damage, but will not convert it into a character point. The tundra shambler does not have to use stored points immediately. It loses absorbed points – unused ones first – at the rate of one point per second. It loses enhanced abilities as the points drain away. Restoring one HP drains 2 stored points immediately. Such healing is permanent. Only HP in excess of the tundra shambler’s usual scores drains away. The tundra shambler cannot absorb damage from its own abilities (for example, if its natural weapons are magically imbued with electricity).
