Malgonious 2758 Share Posted June 28, 2015 "An elder Elrik, used as a caravan vehicle" With the new-found land of Valior, I figured it'd be interesting to propose a new beast native to the deserts of these lands! The Elekir, a distant cousin to modern elephants, the Elekir are a native species to Valior, and often dwell within deserts, travelling from oasis to oasis to obtain water. "A wild Elekir" The Elekir are a peaceful creature, but very deadly when provoked, wielding four tusks, and twin-horns, one would think twice about angering an Elekir without purpose. The Elekir are herbivores, and feast on the various plants, and berries around the oasis as they travel. A large amount of these is necessary to sustain the vast hunger Elekir possess, so you may often see a small pack of Elekir decimating an oasis within a day of it's lushious greens. "An Elekk" Elekir typically breed two or three small Elekk (The infant form of Elekir), that reach maturity within a decade. The Mother Elekir will care for the Elekk, while the father would typically gather food for his pack, and ensure their safety from other predators. An Elekir will usually only mate once in their life, and only one batch of Elekk is the status-quo when it comes to breeding. Once the Elekk near maturity, the mother and father abandon the babies, as to ween them off their care. "A domesicated Elekir" Taming an Elekir is no easy task, it requires a huge amount of patience, treats, and lots of positive reinforcement to form a bond with these creatures. Only younger Elekk can be tamed, as once they mature to full Elekir, they are near impossible to persuade, and form a bond with. The Elekir favor exotic berries and fruits from different climates, so a large portion of these would win the favor of a young, hungry Elekk. Thank you all for reading my lore suggestion! I thought something along the lines of a higher-grade fantasy elephants could be interesting for the LoTC Universe, and with the new Valior Map, it could be a good idea to add some diversity! Thanks for your time friendos <3. (Inspired by the WoW Elekk) 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibn Khaldun 7729 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I typically post in this fashion for Event Proposals, but I will comment on this thread. In terms of mechanics, how will this be represented? If a player in a skin, are we to take it seriously as an elephant given their correlating real-life size? If a mob, what mob do we have to represent it? If a built structure, like the deers near the High Elves in Athera, I never understood how that adds to atmosphere. They are the equivalent to cardboard cut-outs you might see in a theatre play or your local science center. Lore Proposals, esp. creatures, ought to weigh these issues in mind. I am curious how you respond. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandan 1448 Share Posted June 30, 2015 This lore has been [Denied]. Threat not however! For soon there will be a system in place for creature lore and I'd rather not have this just clog up the lore forum within the mean time. Its been slightly delayed thanks to the map change yet should be with us soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
