An aerial servant is similar to an invisible stalker in that it is a normally-invisible creature summoned by magic from an extra-dimensional realm. The aerial servant, however, cannot be ordered or compelled to attack in the normal sense. Rather, it is generally used to acquire and transport objects or creatures. An aerial servant can locate and track target creatures in much the same way as an invisible stalker. Because it is invisible and fairly quiet, it surprises on 1-4 on 1d6, and combatants who are unable to see it suffer the usual penalty for attacking an invisible opponent.

Monster statistics extracted from online SRD wiki, not the published hardcover edition.
Aerial servants are creatures from the Elemental Plane of Air. They may be encountered on the æthereal or astral planes (and are visible there), but are more typically met when conjured by a clerical spell aerial servant. On the Prime Material Plane, aerial servants are invisible.
These creatures may carry approximately 1,000 lbs in weight at full movement speed, and are immensely strong.
If the aerial servant is prevented from carrying out its mission, it will go mad and return to attack the cleric who summoned it.
