Elemental Creature [templates]

This will be an "update" to the elemental creatures templates in MoP. Which suck. Big time. Starting with water, I'll eventually get all four basic inner planes, then do +/- planes (I consider them part of the six elemental planes...because they are....so I treat them as water, air, fire, and earth).
