By default, the water elemental model has no tint map, and uses the normal map as the diffuse texture. This means that without the water elemental SEF file it looks like a modern art sculpture.

This alteration to the model introduces a neutral pale texture and a tint map, that allows the model to be used for other creatures. It does not change the appearance of the existing water elemental blueprints.

The example image shows the tintable version being used as (from left to right); an olive slime, a conflagration ooze, and a blood amniote. The default water elemental blueprint is shown on the far right.
