Adult Pygmy Elephant

Keen Senses: The adult pygmy elephant has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell or hearing.

Nature’s Resilience: The adult pygmy elephant’s deep connection to nature grants it resistance to non-magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

Natural Connection: The adult Pygmy elephant draws strength from the natural world around it. While standing on natural terrain, such as soil, grass, or forest floor, the elephant regains 10 hit point at the start of its turn (nature proficiency and constitution modifier). This ability reflects the creature’s innate ability to harness the rejuvenating energy of the earth. If the adult Pygmy elephant is not on natural terrain or is in an environment that is particularly hostile to its nature, this ability does not function.

Trunk Swipe: Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a Medium or smaller creature, it must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Gust (Cantrip): The adult pygmy elephant can flap its ears and create a powerful gust of wind. As an action, the adult pygmy elephant can cast the gust cantrip. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC 15) or be pushed 20 feet away from the adult pygmy elephant.

Charge: If the adult pygmy elephant moves at least 20 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with a trunk swipe attack on the same turn, the target takes an extra 13 (3d8) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a Medium or smaller creature, it must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 20 feet away and knocked prone.

Airblast (Recharge 5-6): The adult pygmy elephant exhales a concentrated blast of air in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in the area must make a DC 15 Strength saving throw, taking 27 (6d8) thunder damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A successful save also prevents the creature from being pushed away.

Thunderous Stomp: The adult pygmy elephant slams its massive foot onto the ground, creating a shockwave of thunderous force. Each creature within 10 feet of the pygmy elephant must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 18 (4d8) thunder damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Animal instincts (Reaction). As a reaction to being hit by a critical hit, the adult Pygmy elephant taps into the protective forces of the natural world. It gains a bonus to its AC equal to its Wisdom modifier until the end of its next turn. This bonus represents the elephant’s heightened awareness and its ability to swiftly react to imminent danger.
