Short description
Elephants are a terrifying spectacle to opposing troops, well able to toss men aside like ratting dogs and smash battle lines.
Description
Elephants are a terrifying spectacle to opposing troops, well able to smash battle lines and toss men aside like dogs.
Standing at just over two metres tall at the shoulder, these particular animals are rather tractable and can be trained for warfare relatively easily. They are fast moving, able to trample and gore enemies seemingly at will when being urged on by their riders. They are a living battering ram aimed at the enemy battle line. When pursuing enemies they can be even more deadly.
Each elephant is unarmoured, but many blows simply glance off the tough hide. Only a single rider is carried.
