Massive and thick, with broad shoulders but no apparent head, the earth elemental appears to be a composite of the earth itself.  A large, craggy maw in the middle of the elemental's chest appears to be the creature's mouth, and the earth elemental's huge feet and giant-sized fists look like they would pulverize flesh without much effort at all.

Greater earth elementals have DFRedux which will reduce the damage factors of weapons, including bolt spells, by 30% for AS-based attacks. This is in addition to their natural full plate equivalent armor.
