* AllYourPowersCombined: Downplayed. Omnimentals are made up of the four main elements (and thus have the Air, Earth, Fire and Water subtypes all at once), but while their slam attack deals heavy physical damage plus electricity and fire damage, omnimentals lack any special attacks of their "parent" elementals. Instead, their composite nature gives them superior defenses and overcomes some of their weaknesses -- they can fly as easily as they can walk, they can swim because the air, water and earth aspects of their body form protective layers around their fiery aspect, they're immune to electricity and fire, and they possess the coveted DamageReduction 10/-- that can't be overcome by anything. Their only AchillesHeel is cold damage thanks to their fire subtype.
* AsteroidsMonster: When destroyed, omnimentals split into four Huge elementals, one for each element.
* CastFromHitPoints: For a ranged attack, an omnimental can tear off a chunk of itself to throw an "elemental ball" of flaming earth, but each time it takes 10 points of damage.
* ChildOfTwoWorlds: Or four worlds, in this case. The first omnimentals were created as "liasions between warring elemental warmies in ancient times," but instead they became warriors themselves and now pursue their own agendas.

Also known as "ghost bugs," these translucent subterranean insectoids prey upon both the living and the manifested dead. They're unrelated to the Astral ectoplasmic creatures above.
----
* {{Ectoplasm}}: Their bodies are made up of "living" ectoplasm, so that their organs can be seen through their transparent carapaces. Unlike ''Ghostwalk''[='s=] ghosts, ectoplasmic vermin are living creatures with discernable anatomies, rather than Outsiders.
* ExplosiveBreeder: Several churches in their home setting sponsor seasonal purges of ectoplasmic vermin, but this only temporarily reduces their numbers, and the creatures' population can swell to the point that they begin venturing onto the surface to hunt.
* PoisonousPerson: Their bites carry a poison that deals Dexterity damage, and can affect both living creatures and ghosts.
* WeakenedByTheLight: Bright sunlight or a ''daylight'' spell imposes an attack roll penalty on ghost bugs, and it also shuts down their HealingFactor until they flee to darkness -- "It is thought that the light causes the vermin some discomfort or damages their internal organs."

* {{Retcon}}: In their original appearance in the 1E ''Fiend Folio'', they were not listed as undead nor described as such in their entry, and an article in ''Dragon'' magazine flat-out claimed the contrary, suggesting that they were living beings with a skeletal appearance. Later appearances have them be unambigously undead.
* {{Sadist}}: These undead command other beings they encounter to perform evil acts or face destruction, for example demanding that one innocent kill another, or else the undead will kill them both. If the mortal complies, the eye of fear and flame moves on, leaving the survivor to their mistery, otherwise it makes good on its threats.
