An Elemental Bull is a male elemental, leading a herd of younger females and offspring. Come mating season (which is different for each element), bulls clash with each other and with young contenders who have not yet won a herd of their own.
The fighting of the bulls is the cause of many calamities plaguing the mortal realm – floods in spring (when water bulls have their fights), drought and forest fires in summer (when the fire elementals mate), earthquakes and landslides in autumn (caused by battling earth bulls) and terrible storms in winter (mating season for air elementals).
