Monster: Aerial Servant

Monster: Aerial Servant

The aerial servant is a naturally invisible air elemental that is not very smart, but can lift heavy weights and locate any target. This creature, mostly intended for summoning, appeared in the first edition of D&D and did not make it into D&D 3.5 despite being, dare I say it, a somewhat iconic monster.
