Non-Standard Elements
Non-Standard Elements are not considered true elements, as they are dealt only by certain monsters (and never by players). In addition, these monsters have no weaknesses or vulnerabilities to any other element (whether standard or non-standard), although some of them are vulnerable to certain types of attacks.
There are currently four non-standard elements: Bad spelling, Shadow, and Slime, and Cute.
Bad spelling
Bad spelling damage is dealt exclusively by the monsters in The Valley Beyond The Orc Chasm, with the exception of the rampaging adding machine. There is no way to deal, resist, or otherwise prevent it, but you can do a great deal of damage to the monsters by using a dictionary in combat.

Shadow damage is dealt exclusively by your shadow, which can be found in The Sorceress' Chamber. There is no way to deal, resist, or otherwise prevent it.

Cute
Cute is created by the Supreme Being Jill in the Future; you can collect its essence. However, no monsters actually deal cute damage. The bewitching boots have a "Slight Cute Resistance" enchantment, but it appears to do nothing.
