Mud elementals are very similar to earth elementals, but have an extra blinding attack and the ability to swim.

Generation
Mud elementals are never randomly generated. If an earth elemental is hit with a wand of water, it will turn into a mud elemental.[1] Mud elementals can also be created from a scroll of elementalism.

Messages
The earth elemental turns into a roiling pile of mud!

Magma elementals turn into a pool of lava when they die.[3]

Generation
Magma elementals are not randomly generated. There is one guaranteed in Mephisto's Lair.[4] They can also be created from a scroll of elementalism.

Strategy
Be careful where you kill a magma elemental: a pool of lava can make an area more difficult to traverse.

Messages
The magma elemental's body dissolves into a pool of lava.

Plasma elementals are extremely fast and can engulf you, similar to air elementals. However they only do fire and shock damage.

Generation
Plasma elementals are never randomly generated. Some plasma elementals are guaranteed on the Plane of Ice.[5] They can also be created from a scroll of elementalism.

Reference

SpliceHack 1.1.0 monst.c L2225

Fusion elementals are somewhat fast and have four attacks. When they die, they break into four other elementals.[6]

Generation
Fusion elementals cannot be created from a scroll of elementalism, and also are never randomly generated. There is one guaranteed fusion elemental in the Gemstone Array[7], and another in the City of Brass[8].

Strategy
It is usually better to avoid fusion elementals than fight. Both the Gemstone Array and City of Brass have tight corridors where you can easily get surrounded if four extra elementals appear.

Messages
The fusion elemental tears apart into its constituent elements!

History
The following elementals existed in SpliceHack 0.8.2, but were removed in SpliceHack 1.0.0:

E storm elemental
E Time Elemental
The acid and plasma elementals were added in SpliceHack 1.0.0.
The magma elemental, mud elemental, ice elemental and (now-defunct) storm elemental were all added in SpliceHack 0.7.1.[9]
