|p=>>Are creatures that yield bodyparts for arrows/bolts that land elemental damage, elemental extra-planars themselves? (currently firecats, ice adders, storm bulls, lava drakes)

No to those four. The [[Lava drake|lava drakes]] are [[Construct|constructs]] of Elanthian matter. Unless I'm missing any lore, the [[Firecat|firecats]] and [[Storm bull|storm bulls]] appear to be animals with too much, let's say, elemental charge. In contrast, the [[Scaly seordmaor|seordmaor]] originate from a [[Suur Pillar|known planar conduit]], and the [[Wind hound|wind hounds]] are plainly a garden variety of air elemental.

The differences may seem minute, but where [[Aethrolysis]] is concerned, the question to ask is, "How much of that thing doesn't belong here?" Generally speaking, god-made creatures will fall short of that threshold (unless outright incorporeal), because gods care about that sort of balance. What's inside an ice adder is from the spiritual plane, but it's ensouling a dead animal, so you can't get rid of it by just blowing up the aether around it.

>>Would [[:Category:Fae]] be categorized as [[:Category:Extra-planar creatures|extra-planar]]?

As they were specifically created for [[Elanthia]], nope.
