Earth Elemental

Creature, Spirit Entities

A giant of earth and stone that rises with a tremor within 100 feet of its summoner. It knows all magic of earth and growing things, gladly destroys man-made structures out of hatred for miners and quarriers, and fights with fists or hurled rock.

From the book

An earth elemental is a giant, man-shaped being made of earth and stone. When summoned it heaves up out of the ground with a great tremor, somewhere within a hundred feet of the caster. It knows every spell touching earth, stone and mud, and anything rooted in the soil, and can teach or cast one to satisfy the pact of summoning.

These beings loathe anyone who cuts and quarries stone, mines ore or otherwise scars the face of the earth, so they are only too happy to tear down any man-made structure they are asked to destroy. In battle an earth elemental pounds foes with rock-hard fists or hurls huge chunks of earth and stone. It cannot affect air elementals in any way. An earth elemental that shares a summoning with a fire elemental may agree to help raise a small volcano.
