Magnemite (3.5e Monster)

Magnemites are elemental spirits from the plane of metal. Their bodies are composed of bits of worked steel held together magnetically in a sphere. They travel to the material plane through rifts that appear in strong electrical discharges such as thunderstorms. Once in the material world they scour the lands for worked metal.

Magnemites keep some bits of worked steel they acquire, but what causes them to decide what to keep and what to throw away is a mystery. Magnemites hover about using self-generated magnetic fields, and continue flying even in an antimagic field.

In cosmologies that do not have a separate elemental plane of metal, Magnemites are instead considered to be subtype [Earth].
