A light load for an Asiatic elephant is up to 7,000 pounds, and a heavy load up to 14,000 pounds.

Though elephants have five distinct attack modes (two tusks, a trunk grab, and two tramples with the front feet), a single elephant can apply no more than two of these attacks to any single opponent of small or medium size; large opponents may be targeted by three of these attacks in a round. However, an elephant can attack multiple opponents in its immediate area at the same time.

An elephant has no treasure as such, but the tusks of an elephant are worth 1d8 x 100 gp each.
