− '''Elementals''' are the genetically engineered [[trueborn]] [[infantry]] of the [[Clans]], so named because both they and their battle armor are capable of fighting in any element. Designed and bred over dozens of generations to operate Clan [[battle armor]], Elementals are the largest and strongest of the three common Clan warrior phenotypes. Elementals average 2-2.5 meters in height and are disproportionally muscular compared to even the strongest [[Inner Sphere]] warrior. While generally used as shock troops, Elementals have found use in other military roles as well, such as security personnel or marines.

Very few Elementals rise above the rank of [[Star Commander]] within the [[Clan military structure]]. The usual reason given is that, as infantry officers, they have a hard time keeping up with swift-moving 'Mechs in combat and so cannot lead effectively. In truth it is the result of an unspoken bias among Clan warriors who reason that, with so much focus on making Elementals immense muscular fighters, their intellectual capacity suffered. Those who do succeed above their supposed station - notably those who have become [[Khan|Khans]] or even [[ilKhan]] - are proof enough as to the error of this unfortunate prejudice.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 78</ref> Very few Elementals rise above the rank of [[Star Commander]] within the [[Clan military structure]].
