Dragophants are strange chimeric creatures, they have the overall form of an elephant, but have deep-green scaly dragon hide, large draconic wings, and a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth. Unlike actual dragons, dragophants are herd creatures, and any group of three or more will be a herd with a large bull leading it. Smaller groups of one or two will be rogue males, who use the normal statistics rather than those of a herd bull.

As long as the herd bull is alive, all the other members of the herd gain a +1 to morale, and the bull gains a similar +1 to morale as long as any other member of its herd survives.

Special Abilities

Herd Morale: As long as the herd bull is alive, all the other members of the herd gain a +1 to morale, and the bull gains a similar +1 to morale as long as any other member of its herd survives.

Poor Fliers: Though dragophants can fly they are poor, clumsy fliers. Taking off requires a dragophant to move at least 30 feet in a straight line on the ground to gain enough speed to take flight the following round.

Breath Weapon: A 20-foot cloud of steam that billows forth from the creature’s trunk once per hour. All dragophants are immune to their own breath weapon and those of other dragophants.

Variants

Bull Dragophant (herd of three or more)

Any group of three or more will be a herd with a large bull leading it.
