Despite the texture of female elephants showing tusks, and female elephants' ability to attack with tusks, they do not yield them when butchered. It is currently unclear whether the ability for female elephants to attack with tusks, but not yield them on butchering is intentional or a bug.

Elephants can be brought on [[caravan]]s as [[pack animal]]s, they can carry {{P|Pack Capacity}} kg of weight, almost double that of the [[muffalo]]. They can additionally be ridden for up to 130% caravan speed, reached if there is at least 1 elephant per rider.
 +
 +
== Analysis ==
 +
Elephants are difficult to tame and eat a high amount of food, but are very powerful animals. They are in the unique position as the only pack animal that be trained to haul. They can also be ridden in a caravan for extra speed. As a bonus, elephants are great at combat.
 +
 +
Elephants come in herds; hunting 1 elephant may anger the entire herd. In addition, elephants have 50% manhunter on hunt but 0% manhunter on a failed tame. Even if you want to slaughter elephants, consider taming them first. As a plus side, elephant herds are great to use with a [[psychic animal pulser]] or the [[Psycasts#Manhunter pulse|Manhunter pulse]] [[psycast]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}.

===As an attack animal===
 +
Elephants are powerful animals, great for [[Defense tactics#Animal melee blocking|damage soak tactics]]. They have a high health, joint second with [[megasloth]]s, but elephants are much easier to tame. In addition, elephants will never go manhunter on a failed taming attempt.
 +
 +
However, this comes at the cost of a high hunger rate. This is not usually a problem, as elephants reside in tropical biomes, but can be an issue during a [[toxic fallout]] or [[caravan]] trip.

In addition, elephants are the only pack animal that isn't a [[pen animal]]. For the sole purpose of packing goods, this is a downside, as elephants need to be re-trained. On the flip side, this allows elephants to be a pack animal that fights enemies and hauls goods.

Elephants, called elephant calves as babies, are large land animals often found in tropical rainforests, tropical swamps, and arid shrublands. They have elephant tusks, which they use to fight in melee.

Summary[edit]

When an adult male elephant is butchered, it yields Elephant tusk 2 elephant tusks, unless the tusk body part is damaged.

Despite the texture of female elephants showing tusks, and female elephants' ability to attack with tusks, they do not yield them when butchered. It is currently unclear whether the ability for female elephants to attack with tusks, but not yield them on butchering is intentional or a bug.

Elephants can be brought on caravans as pack animals, they can carry 140 kg of weight, almost double that of the muffalo. They can additionally be ridden for up to 130% caravan speed, reached if there is at least 1 elephant per rider.

Analysis[edit]

Elephants are difficult to tame and eat a high amount of food, but are very powerful animals. They are in the unique position as the only pack animal that be trained to haul. They can also be ridden in a caravan for extra speed. As a bonus, elephants are great at combat.

Elephants come in herds; hunting 1 elephant may anger the entire herd. In addition, elephants have 50% manhunter on hunt but 0% manhunter on a failed tame. Even if you want to slaughter elephants, consider taming them first. As a plus side, elephant herds are great to use with a psychic animal pulser or the Manhunter pulse psycastContent added by the Royalty DLC.

As an attack animal[edit]

Elephants are powerful animals, great for damage soak tactics. They have a high health, joint second with megasloths, but elephants are much easier to tame. In addition, elephants will never go manhunter on a failed taming attempt.

However, this comes at the cost of a high hunger rate. This is not usually a problem, as elephants reside in tropical biomes, but can be an issue during a toxic fallout or caravan trip.

Rhinoceros 3.5 5.24 5 1.71 6.6
Bear 2.5 4.89 4.6 0.56 7.2

As a pack animal[edit]

Elephants, despite carrying the most out of any pack animal in the game, are not great pack animals. This is due to their high hunger rate. 1 elephant carries less and eats more than 2 muffalo or 5 alpaca. Elephants can be ridden, and the only rideable animal native to the tropics, where their hunger usually isn't an issue. However, any other rideable animal would be better on a caravan (2 donkeys can carry 2 people, 1 elephant can carry 1 person).

In addition, elephants are the only pack animal that isn't a pen animal. For the sole purpose of packing goods, this is a downside, as elephants need to be re-trained. On the flip side, this allows elephants to be a pack animal that fights enemies and hauls goods.

Training[edit]

This animal can be trained as follows:

Attack:  Check.png
Rescue:  Check.png
Haul:  Check.png

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.

  1. ↑ Coverage determines the chance to hit this body part. It refers to the percentage of the super-part that this part covers, before its own sub-parts claim their own percentage. For example, if the base coverage of the super-part is 100%, and the coverage of the part is 20%, 20% of hits would hit the part, and 80% the super-part. If the part had its own sub-part with 50% coverage, the chances would be 10% sub-part, 10% part, 80% super part.
  2. ↑ Target Chance is the actual chance for each part to be be selected as the target when each part's coverage has been taken into account(I.E. Neck covers 7.5% of Torso but Head covers 80% of Neck so it actually has only a 1.5% chance to be selected). This is not pure hit chance, as different damage types propagate damage in different ways. See that page for details.
  3. ↑ Note that capacities can affect other capacities in turn. Only the primary effect is listed. See specific pages for details.
  4. ↑ This is the part that everything else connects to to be considered 'connected'.
  5. ↑ If Moving drops below 16% a pawn cannot move.
  6. ↑ A Scratch/Stab attack of Power 25, Cooldown 2.6

Trivia[edit]

Female elephants don't drop tusks when butchered, despite being able to make tusk attacks in melee and displaying the tusks on their texture. If it is intended for female elephants to not have tusks, this may imply that the elephants in-game are Asian Elephants as tusks aren't a sexually dimorphic trait in African Elephants.
