Elephant

Immortal Freedom RPG > Non-player Entities (NPCs) > Animals

Elephants are terrestrial, proboscidean mammals. Distinctive features of elephants include a long proboscis called a trunk, tusks, large ear flaps, pillar-like legs, and tough but sensitive grey skin. The trunk is prehensile, bringing food and water to the mouth and grasping objects. Tusks, which are derived from the incisor teeth, serve both as weapons and as tools for moving objects and digging. The large ear flaps assist in maintaining a constant body temperature as well as in communication. Elephants live in different habitats, including savannahs, forests, deserts, and marshes. They are herbivorous, and they stay near water when it is accessible. Elephants have a fission–fusion society, in which multiple family groups come together to socialize.^[1][2]
