Wikipedia
An elemental is a mythic being described in occult and alchemical works from around the time of the European Renaissance and particularly elaborated in the 16th century works of Paracelsus. There are four elemental categories: gnomes, undines, sylphs, and salamanders. These correspond to the Classical elements of antiquity: earth, water, air and fire. Aether (quintessence) was not assigned an elemental. Terms employed for beings associated with alchemical elements vary by source and gloss.
Elemental is a creature formed entirely of one of the classical elements in jainism, mysticism, alchemy, mythology and modern fantasy fiction.

Elemental is an action- strategy video game developed and designed by Erick Dupuis in 1988.

The first one is invincible and the player can only evade it using the environment to put some distance between them or by staying on one of the four "safe point" of the stage. The other follow the same rules but it can also be stuck in holes present in the stage while following the green ball. In this case, another one will appear and continue following the player.
