The king of the earth elementals, Grome can cross any body of water without penalty, can use any spell involving plants, animals, the earth, or things affecting the earth as a 50th level spell caster, and can summon 1-20 16 HD earth elementals to fight by his side at any time.
Grome looks like a huge gnarled and earth-colored oak, though he seems
much more dense and powerful than any plant could be. No barrier, magical
or otherwise, can withstand the force of his fist.

Grumbar: Grumbar
is the largest and most powerful of the true
elementals of Earth. Grumbar's body takes
up a great portion of
the plane about him, such that some have
described him as a
mountain-sized juggernaut. Grumbar is
said to be physically part
of the plane near him so that only a small
portion of him is distinguishable
from the earth around him. This may be
true, as only
those who have been granted an audience
with Grumbar have
ever found the great being. Those air-breathers
who have been
fortunate enough to gain such a meeting
are issued into a pocket
of air facing a mile-high wall. Grumbar's
face (which is different
for each visitor) is said to materialize
in that wall. Presumably other
elemental pockets exist for audiences
w/ creatures that are
common to other elemental planes.
Grumbar can raise and
MOVE stone with his thought and can
build citadels overnight. He does not
bargain, so the traveller who
seeks him out should be prepared to agree
to his terms, or
decline and never return. Grumbar is a
Greater God, the full
force of earth and all the might within
it. He all the powers
afforded to a Greater Deity in Appendix
IV on page 124.
