[RPG] When you lose control of Conjure Elemental, is it still hostile towards your enemies or just you

dnd-5espellssummoning

Conjure Elemental:

If your concentration is broken, the elemental doesn’t disappear. Instead, you lose control of the elemental, it becomes hostile toward you and your companions, and it might attack.

Does this mean it becomes indifferent against its previous targets, and hostile toward you, or hostile toward everyone?

In other words, would it stop attacking the creature that has already damaged it several times just to come after you, or not?

Best Answer

The elemental doesn't become indifferent against its previous targets. It was indifferent. The only thing that made it attack the target was the caster's will. Now, when the caster's concentration is broken, their will enslaves the elemental no more.

The elemental is angry toward the caster, who pulled it out of its plane. It even might attack the caster or one of his/her allies. But nothing in the rules says it must (or will) attack. What the elemental will do is up to the DM.
