For some weird reason, I love me some elementals. So much so that my homebrew world has them as a central building block of the whole planet. I wasn't satisfied with only the 4 presented in the Monster Manual, so I broke out my 2nd Edition Planescape monstrous compendiums and took to converting the Paraelementals and Quasi-elementals to 5th edition, plus adding in what I call "pseudoelementals", which don't fit into the classical D&D elements, but take their influence from the 5 element system that the Wu Jen from the Oriental Adventures (3e) use (wood and metal, plus positive energy and negative energy elementals).
Along with the regular elementals (Large size) similar to those in the Monster Manual, I dropped their power down (I believe) and created lesser versions (Medium size). 20 total lesser elementals, 16 total "regular" elementals (same one as the lesser, minus the 4 from the MM). I have also begun working on greater, elder, myrmidon (like those in the Princes of the Apocalypse adventure), and what I am calling "monolithic" elementals.
So, in all, that's a grand total of 112 elementals.
Now for the part that always makes me uncomfortable, and that is throwing out links to my stuff. I would make a terrible marketing guy.
Lesser Elementals - Lesser versions of the 20 elementals, of CR 2.
Elementals Expanded - "Regular" versions of the 16 elementals not found in the Monster Manual.
Now to go rub away this feeling of being dirty for saying " 'Buy' my stuff even for free."
Oh, and PS: I tried to stay close to the powers and abilities of the paraelementals and quasi-elementals as presented in the Planescape Monstrous Manuals. When able to, anyway. Some of them were a bit much for the CRs I was aiming for for these first two, but the stronger versions could possibly have those, if I can do it justice. (Really hope this isn't against any rules doing this).

In case anyone was interested, I just uploaded another elemental pdf. This time, with elemental myrmidons. PWYW located here: Elemental Myrmidons
Greater Elementals have become available for PWYW on the DMs Guild. As the lesser elementals are weaker and smaller than normal, greater elementals are larger and more powerful than normal. Went with a CR of 10 for these monsters.
