Are Water Beings actually Elementals?

[Pipstickz]

I was training some Daimons today and wondering as I did "Aren't these creatures kind of a water counterpart to fire Elementals?" and therefore, shouldn't they share a species? Especially considering the new shards system! It would be nice, I think, to see more crossover of creature species, rather than just one species per creature as many seem to be.

So I thought it might be worth a discussion, or at least a question.

Both creatures get lifesteal, but for the daimon is only a last-level ability...also, the ele starts from an egg, so they're not very similar. 

Would their stats be on par as they grow? If so, there would be a case for pointing out similarity
