Elementals (Riddick)

The Elementals are one of four elder races in the Riddick Universe. Their home world is Quintessa, where they live secluded to study and compute the "cosmic balance".

They were so moved by the teachings and mathematics of Plato that they adopted the five elements of Platonian physics: air, water, fire, earth and quintessence or aether. "Balance" is "the all" to the Elementals.

It is debatable whether they have true elemental powers or use technology to create illusions. As an Air Elemental, Aereon cannot fly, but "glide very well." When she moves or is hit by a gust of wind, she appears to dissolve into a transparent, human-shaped mist. This does not prevent her from being shackled by the Lord Marshal of the Necromongers.
