Earth Glide. The divi can burrow through nonmagical, unworked earth and stone without disturbing it.

Innate Spellcasting. The divi’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 14). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:

At will: alter self (can assume Medium or Large form), detect magic , stone shape

3/day each: creation , move earth , passwall , tongues

1/day each: conjure elemental (earth elemental only), plane shift (to Elemental Plane of Earth only)

Siege Monster. The divi deals double damage to objects and structures.

Elemental Demise. When a divi dies, its body becomes a mote of elemental energy. This mote might take the form of a glowing chunk of earth, a shard of crystallized air, or an ever-burning ember.


ACTIONS

Multiattack. The divi makes two melee attacks.

Crushing Hand. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d8 + 6) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 18). Until this grapple ends, the divi can’t use Crushing Hand on another target and has advantage on Crushing Hand attacks against this target, and the target can’t breathe .

Stone Club. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 24 (4d8 + 6) bludgeoning damage.

Quake (Recharge 5-6). Amid deafening rumbling, the ground shakes in a 10-foot radius around a point on an earth or stone surface within 90 feet. The area becomes difficult terrain . Each non-elemental creature in the area makes a DC 18 Constitution saving throw , taking 24 (7d6) thunder damage and falling prone on a failure or taking half damage on a success. 


BONUS ACTIONS

Stone Wall (1/Day). A permanent stone wall magically rises from an earth or stone surface within 60 feet. The wall is 6 inches thick and can be up to 20 feet high and 30 feet long. If it appears in a creature’s space, the creature can choose which side of the wall to move to. Each 10-foot-by-10-foot section of the wall is an object with AC 18 and 30 hit points.
 

Combat

Div prefer to fight while standing on earth or stone. They attack with surprise and ambush ranged creatures using their burrow speed. A divi usually grabs spellcasters and ranged attackers in its crushing hand while engaging melee combatants with its club. It uses Stone Wall to separate opponents so that it can fight them individually. A divi fights until pushed to the brink of defeat. It burrows to safety if reduced to 34 hit points or fewer.


Names

Legends and Lore

With an Arcana or Nature check, characters can learn the following:

DC 10 Among the most powerful elemental beings in existence, genies rule the Elemental Planes.

DC 15 The essence of every genie is linked to one of the four basic elements: air, earth, fire, and water.

DC 20 Though all genies wield powerful elemental magic, only genie nobles possess the ability to grant wishes.

Description

Deep within the Elemental Plane of Earth the div dwell. These spirits of the earth have dark hair and skin, and may appear to be sculpted of clay or stone. They wear garments and wield weapons made out of rock and precious gems. Div, more than most genies, are masters of change. They can alter their appearance as easily as they sculpt rock and stone.

Entombed Conquerors. According to some scholars, the div sided with the enemies of the gods in the primordial dawn of the world. Their greatest champions sculpted themselves into monstrous shapes and led terrifying armies—but when the gods prevailed, the mightiest div were entombed deep within the earth. From time to time, a divi will serve a mortal spellcaster in the hopes of unearthing one of these ancient div.

Beauty of the Mountain's King. The div are not always monstrous in appearance, and their cities exhibit their love of beauty. Divi cities are great halls of earth and stone carved from the Elemental Plane of Earth. To see one of their gemstone towers or bask in the light of their crystal sun is to witness the true splendor of the earth. Dwarven artisans have wept and given up their tools upon visiting a divi city.
