Description
The corpse elephant is a massive amalgamation of bodies, usually involving the body of an elephant as the starting component, or sometimes shaped out of a mass of bodies, these hulking undead beasts lumber among abandoned battlefields, harvesting the bodies. If you're unlucky you might see them on an active battlefield, launching skeletons and zombies that used to be allies back into the fray.
