RAHHHH
I really love pushing the boundaries of tums and imagining what they look like in creatures you wouldn't think would have one. So....
Elemental Tums
Air Elemental: You sit in the eye of the storm - a gale raging outside while gentle winds caress you in this creature's core. You can stretch out as much as you'd like and never feel like you'll run out of space. Instead of the normal stomach liquids, you sit in a pool of clouds and fog, lightly misting your lower half. The constant air circulation makes sure that you never feel stuffy. Falling asleep here is easy, like being rocked to sleep on a hammock.
Water Elemental: This elemental stomach is an air bubble inside warm, lively waters. You're not sitting in a pool of liquid this time, as all drops of water get absorbed right back into the creature. There still is a general humidity - you're not getting out of this one dry! This is the most flexible of the stomachs; you can poke the stomach lining and it'll jiggle right back. The waters of this creature are transparent, so you can watch what's happening outside (but honestly, it makes you a bit dizzy!).
Earth Elemental: The creature outside is as dense and stout as stone, but its insides are as soft as soil. You sit in a pocket terrarium, pressing your hands against spongy lichen. This stomach makes you feel like you're laying out on a field with the sun lightly warming you overhead. The liquid is a small pond of clear water, filtered by the flowers around it. It smells fresh - of soil after a rain.
Fire Elemental: One might think it impossible to brave the outside of the fire elemental, but if you do, you can reach the creature's tender core. A deadly fire may rage around you, but you feel protected by the gentle blue flames licking your body inside. The stomach liquid softly bubbles, and you feel as if you're relaxing in a hot bath. You know that there is no safer place to be than here, protected by the ferocity of the creature holding you.
(BONUS) Ice Elemental: Like the earth elemental, this creature's body is heavy and unyielding. However, the creature's core could not be more soft. You find yourself in a den of velvety snow that keeps you warm for the same reason an igloo does. You can even sculpt and mold the walls as you like, with more snow immediately taking its place. This creature loves to protect travelers who wander too far into the tundra.
