Elephant

Animal · 7 hexes · SM +3 Elephant (Monsters on Automatic; answers SRD 3.5, SRD 5.1)

Seven tons of animal that is not remotely stupid, moving in a family group led by the oldest cow. Left alone it ignores people entirely. Provoked, or separated from a calf, it comes forward at a speed nothing that size should manage, and it does not need the tusks to settle the argument.

Description

Written by Dungeons on Automatic, released under cc_by_4_0

• Independently authored GURPS build. The SRD supplies the creature identity this record answers to and nothing else: no SRD statistics, wording or presentation is reproduced, and no third-party GURPS conversion was used as an input.
• Answers the SRD heading(s): Elephant (SRD 5.1); Elephant (SRD 3.5).
• Racial template: 176 points across 20 traits, plus 1 racial skill(s) worth 2 points.
• Every trait is drawn from the project's controlled GURPS vocabulary in scripts/srd/trait-library.mjs, which carries the page reference and published cost for each entry.
• sourceSystem is recorded as doa_fixture because that is the package contract's value for project-authored material; the SRD headings this record answers are in provenance.coversSourceIdentities.
• Ratings are recomputed through the consumer CER path on every build, so a mechanics change cannot leave a stale rating behind.
• Typical Stats, damage and ratings are derived from the racial template rather than authored beside it, so the sheet and the stat block cannot disagree.
• GCS ancestry draft: gcs/elephant.gct
• The published Move folds this creature's Enhanced Move into a single figure.
• Treasure and grappling are not authored for this record and ship as explicit nulls, which reads as known absent rather than forgotten; `lair` carries a short habitat note instead, because where a creature dens is an encounter fact rather than a loot one.
• The trunk is a fine manipulator, so this build drops No Fine Manipulators from the quadruped set.
