Tusk-Men

The humanoid elephants called tusk-men are often oases of calm in the busy streets of Bel'Shun. They hum or chant in sonorous tones and move slowly or sit in perfect stillness. If provoked to action, tusk-men are true terrors—bellowing with rage, trumpeting and flapping their ears. Their serene wisdom, fierce loyalty, and unwavering conviction are tremendous assets to their guilds.

Basic Information

Anatomy

They tower above most other humanoids, standing over 3 meters tall. They have the heads—trunks, tusks, ears, and faces—of elephants, and hulking bipedal bodies covered by thick, leathery skin. Each of their hands has four thick digits, and their feet are the flat-bottomed, oval-shaped feet of elephants. Like that of an elephant, a tusk-men's trunk is a useful appendage. In addition to providing a keen sense of smell, the trunk can be used to lift and carry even heavy objects. The trunk can be used to carry both food and liquid to the mouth and can even act as a snorkel.
