Dire Elk

“It’s like any other elk you’ve seen. Except it’s nothing like that! You’d need to be three men tall if you wanted to touch this beast’s back. Absolutely enormous. If you like to appreciate nature, I’d recommend you appreciate this one from very far away.”

“The dire elk is majestic. It brings to you an unexplainable awe. We have respect for them that goes back generations. They are one of the few peaceful animals large enough to deal with some of the nastiest things you can find in the forest.”

“Ah, yes! An honorable hunt. They put up a good, honest fight. And when one falls, it feeds our clan for weeks. Not to mention, their antlers can be fastened into great spears.”
