Heys! This is my first serious homebrew, so please bear with me.
In my adaptation of the Forgotten Realms Campaign setting and others, the moon is going to play a big role, especially as (in this case) the source of magic. I decided that there needed to be beings of it, almost as if it were an energy type or an element. They would also, in the case of Forgotten Realms, serve the goddess Selune. As a result, I had the idea of the moon elemental. I pretty much took an air elemental, tweaked a fewe things, and copied and pasted from moon spells in Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting. After I did this, however, I decided that pure moonlight should be incorporeal. Then, with a bit more tweaking, I came out with this. I need troubleshooting, comments, add/subtract, and reactions. This was almost a spur of the moment thing, but if I could perfect this monster, then it would play a large role in my campaign. Eventually, I would make moon elemental monolith and primal moon elemental statistics. Well, the moment you've all been waiting for:
A glowing area of electric blue light flickers above the ground, casting eerie shadows upon everything. It forms the general shape of a humanoid, with two long tendrils of flickering light reaching towards you. As it passes through you, you feel an agonizing burst of cold.

Night Mastery: Enemies take a -1 penalty on attacks against the moon elemental if the moon is out.
Lycanthrope Bane: Lycanthropes must make a Will Save (DC 10+ elemental’s HD) or involuntarily assume animal form upon a successful hit with moon touch.
