' Stone imp- rare (dormant)
The stone imp is the weakest monster that can claim the title of living stone beast. It has a very thin layer of stone that grows around its gray skin. This ensures that it can hide and blend in with similar stones. They have sharp claws but weak bodies making them easy to defend against if the defender knows of them. It is extremely rare that they manifest any elemental attack ability at this stage of life.
They have a very slow growth potential making them considered weak. However, if they are nourished properly they can become gargoyles of four separate core elemental affinity. They are also often sold while in dormant states as a way to assassinate targets, even though this practice has become non existent nowadays.
