Elephant leather is the tied 6th most protective textile against sharp and blunt, and tied 3rd against heat. While it is not a good insulator, it is a very good candidate for [[duster]]s and protective clothing in the early game in [[biomes]] that don't experience temperature extremes. However it should be replaced by better materials such as [[Devilstrand]] in the mid-game, with dusters receiving priority. As it provides enough sharp protection for even [[pants]] and [[button-down shirt]]s to have a chance to stop attacks, it can be valuable to transition to using elephant leather for those items to save limited stocks of better materials for dusters where they will have more impact while still providing some chance to deflect a blow after AP. The exceptional amount of leather that a single [[elephant]] provides mean that as single elephant [[manhunter pack]] can produce a lot of leather for this purpose as well.

Elephant leather is a type of leather produced when a cook butchers an elephant at a butcher table.

Acquisition

The following animals provide elephant leather.

  • Animal Leather Yield
    Elephant 160
  • Analysis

    Elephant leather is the tied 6th most protective textile against sharp and blunt, and tied 3rd against heat. It isn't a good insulation, but a very good candidate for dusters and protective clothing, especially in biomes without temperature extremes. The exceptional amount of leather that a single elephant provides mean that as single elephant manhunter pack can produce a lot of leather for this purpose as well.

    However, even elephant leather should be replaced by better materials like devilstrand in the mid-game. Dusters receive priority; using better materials on dusters will have more impact than other types of clothing. Elephant leather can be used for pants and button-down shirts when supply of better textile is limited.

    For use in furniture, it has a middle-of-the-road beauty factor. However, it will eventually be redundant for clothing, while more beautiful textiles like thrumbofur will be in high demand for other purposes. Therefore, elephant leather is a decent choice for improving furniture beauty once the colony has transitioned to more protective textiles.
