An elemental being that governs and exists within the element water. Undines do not have a definite form as they are at one with their element. However, they do have the ability to physically manifest, and often appear as a beautiful, ethereal mermaid.

They occur in all waters, from the oceans and seas, to ponds and lakes, wells, waterfalls, even humidity and tears. They have the ability to control the movement of water such as the tides, the rains, and the flow of streams. They also have a strong influence over the plants and creatures that inhabit the waters.

Undines are generally friendly towards humans. They can be very sympathetic and are especially helpful with matters of the heart.

They can have a profound and positive effect on a human's emotions. These effects can also be very subtle and at times negative. Unusual anger, depression, and other negative emotions may be experienced after an encounter with a mischievous undine. These negative effects can be countered with sorcery and/or by ceasing all contact and other dealings with the mischievous being.

Also known as Ondines.
