I would guess that the blackrock elemental is used by the UO team as a method of forcing up the price of ingots. When the price of ingots from the blacksmiths and tinkers accross the land falls too low, a blackrock elemental is caused to spawn where a miner is mining. The miner gets killed, as well as his or her pack animal. This discourages the miner from mining and selling ingots to the blacksmiths and tinkers. Since the player blacksmiths keep buying ingots, the price goes up.
