In the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' fantasy roleplaying game, archomentals are powerful exemplary beings of the Elemental Planes and rulers over the elementals. Although they are not truly rulers of their planes, archomentals like to consider themselves as such and often grant themselves regal titles like Prince or Princess. They are compared in the source material to the archfiends or celestial paragons, and are considered to be the elemental equivalent of such beings.〔Jansing, Eric, and Kevin Baase. "Princes of Elemental Good: The Archomentals, Part II." ''Dragon'' #353 (Paizo Publishing, 2007)〕 ==Publication history== The elemental princes of evil first appeared in the first edition ''Fiend Folio'' (1981), created by Lewis Pulsipher.〔Turnbull, Don, ed. ''Fiend Folio'' (TSR, 1981)〕 Ed Greenwood, in his review of the ''Fiend Folio'' for ''Dragon'' magazine, considered the Elemental Princes of Evil "worthy additions to any campaign". The original first edition ''Manual of the Planes'' (1987) first used the term "archomental" to describe the most powerful elemental creatures, "great beasts that are individually named and may stand toe-to-toe with the lesser deity-class creatures of the outer planes. The rulers of the various elemental types are called 'elemental princes.'"〔Grubb, Jeff. ''Manual of the Planes'' (TSR, 1987)〕 The good archomentals first appeared, along with the evil archomentals, in the second edition book ''Planescape Monstrous Compendium Appendix III'' (1998).〔Cook, Monte. ''Monstrous Compendium Planescape Compendium III'' (TSR, 1998)〕 The evil archomentals appeared in the third edition in ''Dragon'' #347 (September 2006),〔Jansing, Eric, and Kevin Baase. "Princes of Elemental Evil: The Archomentals." ''Dragon'' #347 (Paizo Publishing, 2006)〕 and the good archomentals appeared in ''Dragon'' #353 (March 2007).〔 Imix and Ogrémoch appeared in the fourth edition ''Monster Manual 3'' (2010).〔http://www.wizards.com/DnD/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4alum/20100525b〕〔Mearls, Mike, Greg Bilsland, and Robert J.
