Earth Elemental Question

[Warhammer]

One of my friends that plays had a question that I couldn't answer. Apparently, he was fighting a bunch of earth elementals, and as he was fighting them, they would suddenly take negative damage. I asked them if they were regenerating, and he said no, that every once in a while negative damage would come up and the unit would be healed. Any ideas what is causing this?

It could be them getting smaller after one of their forms being killed - I think that would bring their health back up from 0 to what-ever number than form had.

Yeah, you'll see this with anything that "transforms" into something else upon death. Machaka spider riders, Mictlan Jaguar warriors, elementals, lamias etc.

Yea when an elemental larger than size 1 dies it changes to an elemental 1 size smaller regaining health but getting weaker.
So when you see negative damage it means that that form of the elemental died but it respawned as a lesser form of itself and the negative damage it the difference from how much damage you did to its new health amount.
