Notes
To edit these notes, go to Template:Kalimos, Primal Lord notes.
- Kalimos' Battlecry shows all four Invocation options to the player and allows them to choose which one they want to activate.[2][3][4]
- The Invocation is considered to be cast by Kalimos (as part of his Battlecry) rather than by the player.
- If
Murmuring Elemental, 
Brann Bronzebeard or 
Spirit of the Shark cause Kalimos' Battlecry to trigger twice, the Invocation interface will be shown twice and thus you can choose two separate Invocations for Kalimos to cast. The Battlecry seems to be an instant Discover-like effect similar to 
Kazakus, who works the same way when his Battlecry is doubled with the aforementioned cards.
Known Bugs[edit | edit source]
Although Kalimos' Battlecry is intended to have a cast spell effect, sometimes it behaves inconsistently:
- Spell Damage does not affect the damage output of "Invocation of Air" and "Invocation of Fire" as it should.[2][5] However, if you control
Auchenai Soulpriest, a damage-dealing "Invocation of Water" is correctly affected by Spell Damage. - Prophet Velen does not affect the damage output of "Invocation of Air" and "Invocation of Fire" as it should. However, "Invocation of Water" is correctly affected by Prophet Velen (even if you control an Auchenai Soulpriest).
Hallazeal the Ascended correctly restore health for each enemy minion damaged by "Invocation of Air".[6]
Thus, in conclusion, it seems that "Invocation of Water" is correctly coded as spell cast by Kalimos, while "Invocation of Air" and "Invocation of Fire" behaves like normal Battlecries (similarly to Twilight Flamecaller and Nightblade).

Lore[edit | edit source]
Kalimos is unique to Hearthstone. He is a powerful elemental native to Un'Goro Crater, but is not considered one of the "big 4" Elemental Lords (i.e., Al'Akir, 
Neptulon, Ragnaros and Therazane).[7]
From the journal of Eddie Malone:
- There's a huge elemental that looks like it's made up of all the other elements, along with a lot of servants that look like smaller versions of it. The smaller elementals that are coming here seem fascinated with the big one. The servants copy something from one of the little elementals and then spin off a completely different elemental! The Professor says he's never seen or heard of anything like it.[8]
- From Hearthpwn
- Kalimos is a master of the building blocks of all life on Azeroth, or as they are more commonly referred to as, the Elements. Shamanic cultures have long sought to live in harmony with, or assert dominion over, these forces, and Kalimos is a prime example of these traits.
- Air: The Element of Cunning and Madness: Fascinating! This Elemental appears to have the power to dispose of weaker beings which threaten his existence. We’ll definitely want to continue keeping a safe distance.. WHAT WAS THAT?
- Earth: The Element of Stability and Stubbornness: We're witnessing a miracle! Its gained control of an entire army in mere seconds! Keep quiet everyone, they're off to battle that family of dinosaurs off in the distance. WHOA, that tail-swipe-a-saurus sure did a number on him.
- Water: The Element of Tranquility and Indecisiveness: Simply unbelievable. This Elemental has also harnessed the energy of Water, what can this magnificent creature not do? It appears the damage done has been instantly repaired. Go cute rocks, go!
- Fire: The Element of Passion and Fury: RUN! We've stayed too long and its taken notice! I'm not going to go down to a little bit of fire, there's much worse enemies out there! See you guys later, I do hope we'll meet again, I'm out of here![9]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Kalimos' flavor text and quotes are a reference to the American animated series Captain Planet and the Planeteers, which features five children using the elements of Earth, Fire, Wind, Water and Heart to summon the titular hero.
