The Sweet sang in their song Love is like Oxygen "You get too much, you get too high. Not enough and you're gonna die." We need oxygen to live, but it can be destructive as well with fire, rust etc.. It is the most common element on earth. When cooled below -218°C oxygen becomes a blueish, magnetic liquid.

Oxy the monster is a moody hothead. He interferes everywhere and easily loses his temper. But when the going gets tough, it's good to have him nearby, because for his friends he would go through fire any time.

Mercury is the only liquid metal at room temperature. The alchemists thought of it as the First Matter of which all metals are formed. Because of its toxicity the use in most applications is decreasing – except for energy saving lamps.

Hydrargy the monster is the king’s devious advisor. Nobody knows what his plans are and whom he is teaming up with.

Hydrogen

Hydro
Hydro

Hydrogen is the number one among the elements. It was born right after the big bang. Even today it is the most abundant element in the universe but at the same time the smallest. We can find it in the sun, in water, in our bodies – virtually everywhere.

Hydro the monster is the eternal child. A lively little fella – curious, playful, full of energy and almost unbearably optimistic.

Strontium

Strong T
Strontium

Strontium was discovered in a village called Strontian in Scotland. It is used mainly for pyrotechnics and the aluminium industry.

Because the place of discovery is not too far away from Loch Ness, some people claim, that the monster Strong T is an invention, just like Nessie. A dangerous claim, because one might get hit in the head by Strong T for it.

Manganese

Mang Gang
Manganese

Manganese is a trace element neccessary for photosynthesis and certain enzymes. It is mainly used in the steel industry. There are huge supplies of manganese in the deep seas called manganese nodules.

Mang Gang the monster hates two things: odour and disorder. Unfortunately there is a lot of both in the Elemonsters-world. Therefore he is often nervous and irritable.

Tin

50
Stannus
Zinn

Tin was discovered in ancient times. As bronze – an alloy with copper - it gave a whole period its name. Below 13°C tin starts to crumble - a phenomenon called "tin pest". When bent it makes a distinguished sound: the tin cry.

Stannus the monster is the guard of the king's palace. He is unable to talk with a normal voice and screams permanently. Therefore he also serves as the herald of the court and announces the king's newest laws and resolutions. Unfortunately he is very sensitive to low temperatures and thus easily catches the cold and suffers from rheumatism.

Magnesium

Magnesio

Magnesium burns vigorously, even under water, and is used for flares and fireworks. Humans and animals need it for their muscles, plants need it for photosynthesis.

Magnesio the monster is a little hothead who likes to bite others in their butt with his sharp teeth, when he gets aggravated. But when he’s happy, he starts hugging everyone, before you can count to three. If only his arms weren’t so short...

Caesium

Caesius
Caesium

Caesium is a Metal which can combust spontaneously with air. It is used for atomic clocks.

Never call Caesius fat, or you’re in trouble. It is actually quite athletic: It can hit a traffic light with a tomato from half a mile, making it turn to red. Also it is obsessed with the clock: It asks everyone what time it is. Who can’t answer quickly enough, will get pelted with whatever is lying around.

Iodine

53
Iodina

Iodine is well known for its use in desinfectants: it leaves a puple stain. The lack of iodine can cause a goitre.
