Monsters: Elemental Undead

Monsters: Elemental Undead

It's still October, right? So, I have some time to convert at least some monsters from Libris Mortis. I'll be frank with you here - most of them are lame and uninspired, but some of them are pretty interesting. The most fascinating of them to be are the elemental undead, so this post will cover them.
