if i can tab my $0.02...
i like #2 (short lived), but what if the shells are not actually the 
elemental itself, but rather either a "piece" of the elemental or some 
conjuration from it't great powers.  when the PC's hit the german base they 
discover the elemental bound by blood mages. perhaps an enchantment being 
renewed constantly by the mages from some ancient text.  the plan becomes 
simple. kill the bloods. the spell fails. the creature returns home. steal 
the book. simple.  only problem is, when they disrupt the spell, the 
creature goes NUTS and set's about seeking revenge for its torment. now 
you've got blood mages, tanks, soldiers AND one wacked out elemental. all 
this before breakfast! it's gonna be a long day...
