	The malevolent ildriss, or ''Wind Terror'', is a vaporous entity that normally appears as a self-propelled fog cloud with vaporous tentacles and three faintly gleaming eyes. However, it can become effectively invisible at will by dispersing itself to become a living whisper of breeze. Ildriss are generally gray, pale yellow, or (rarely) white. Their eyes are pyramidal, ranging from dark orange through scarlet to maroon.

	This is a globular, jelly-like blob of translucent, greenish-colored slime, with its lower body fringed by small, clawed legs and with pipe-like protrusions radiating from its middle. These flexible hoses provide propulsion by jetting water when the creature is in its element, and when out of its element can be used to attack foes; blinding and stunning the conscious, and dispatching the vulnerable [[rape\|hentai-style]] by thrusting a pipe into a nostril or mouth and filling the lungs with water. Like all grues, it can disguise itself as a mass of elemental matter - in this case water - but it retains a greenish tinge that can impede with its efforts to hide.

	Harginns, or ''Flame Horrors'', are the grues of the Elemental Plane of Fire, taking the form of a human with fangs, flames for hair, and a lower body comprised of billowing flames. They can also shapeshift into the form of normal flames, or even a bronze-skinned human. Harginn features, when discernable, express leering evil and great cruelty. Their eyes are glowing black, and their body colors are typically combinations of fiery hues such as scarlet and orange, crimson and purple-blue, yellow and orange.

	Chaggrins, also known as ''Soil Beasts'', take the form of a bipedal, man-like form made of disgusting, slimy, lumpy wet clay, with its asymmetrical, ugly face permanently set in a vicious expression, its small eyes gleaming with feral light. They can also assume the form of a yellow, hedgehog-like beast with a fanged skull-like head, or a large but normal-looking mold.

	'''Grues''' are an obscure [[elemental]] monster from the [[Elemental Planes]] in the [[Great Wheel]] [[multiverse]] of [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. They are divided into four distinct species, as was almost everything in the elemental planes; the chagrin (earth grue), the harginn (fire grue), the ildriss (air grue), and the vardigg (water grue). There's also the oft-forgotten mud grue, which was a late addition to the party.

	These little monsters first appeared in the [[Monster Manual]] II for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 1st edition. They were updated to 2nd edition first in the [[Al-Qadim]] [[splatbook]] "Secrets of the Lamp" and then in the [[Planescape]] Monstrous Compendium Appendix. They made two appearances in 3rd edition; [[Dragon Magazine]] #285 for 3.0, and "Complete Arcane" for 3.5. The mud grue only ever appeared in [[Dungeon Magazine]]; #37 for 2e and #138 for 3e.

	~~==Zork==~~
	Infocom borrowed the name from Jack Vance’s Dying Earth Saga in 1977 for Zork's unseen, dark-loving monsters that prevented the player from moving around in darkness without light. AD&D borrowed the name either from Jack Vance or ZORK for the Monster Manual II over half a decade later in 1983. They were created since the previous solution to keeping players from brute forcing dark areas, random pitfalls, no longer worked when some of these areas were in an attic.

	A trio of varrdigs can fuse together at will, forming a three-lobed entity that resembles a snowman. This triad fusion requires 1-3 rounds to complete, after which the creatures act as one; in this form, they are a far more formidable opponent, with increased defenses, moral and bludgeoning weight. The midbody portion is believed to house the sensory organs (if any do exist), as evidenced by odd outgrowths of cilia and stalks, and the upper body portion sprouts 3-6 propulsion tubes.
