Animal · 5 hexes · SM +3 Giant Elk [Monsters on Automatic, SRD coverage: mundane land animals; answers Giant Elk (SRD 5.1)]
Rare enough that seeing one is treated as a sign rather than a sighting. It stands taller at the shoulder than a mounted rider, moves through heavy timber without hurrying, and watches a party with something closer to judgement than fear. Killing one is legal almost nowhere and forgiven almost never.

Notes
- GCS ancestry draft: gcs/giant-elk.gct
- Independent build total: 81 points of racial traits plus 8 points of racial skills.
- Answers the SRD heading(s): Giant Elk (SRD 5.1). Only the creature identity is taken from the SRD; the GURPS statistics, ratings and prose are this project's own work and reproduce no SRD text.
- Typical Stats, damage and ratings are derived from the racial template, not authored beside it, so the sheet and the stat block cannot disagree.
- Movement: ground Move 6, 12 at a sprint (primary). The published Move folds this creature's Enhanced Move into a single figure.
- Treasure and grappling are not authored for this batch and ship as explicit nulls; `lair` carries a short habitat note, because where a wandering animal dens is an encounter fact rather than a loot one.
- Added after a post-hoc comparison against independent GURPS fan conversions of this creature: Peripheral Vision. The comparison surfaced the gap; the build is still ours.

- 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): Giant Elk (SRD 5.1).
- Racial template: 81 points across 20 traits, plus 2 racial skill(s) worth 8 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.
