Adult Female
Name: unnamed
Species: Albephas
Birthday: Monday, July 1, 2019
Owner: Telynaur
Element: Light
By the time they reach adulthood, Albephas have learned their own strength and are careful around other creatures and their magi. Though they are often used as guards, they are very empathic creatures, and would be just as happy snuggling up with their magi as they would deterring any would-be thieves from artifacts or treasures. They enjoy traveling with their magi and even playing fetch, although they often seem confused by the light weight of the things their magi chooses to throw. Sometimes Albephas will try to throw things for their magi as well, but this usually results in them throwing a ball or toy so far away that it can???t be found.
Albephas are regal-looking creatures, with sharp tusks and a proud posture. They are also incredibly intelligent. They never forget anything they are taught. In addition, they often develop a great amount of respect for ancient artifacts, being naturally drawn to old ruins or burial sites where treasures can be found. Some suspect they are able to smell some aspect of age with their trunks. However, this isn't the only reason they are often used as guards for temples and places of worship. They are tiny creatures, only about the size of a large dog, but their small size hides incredible strength. They are as strong as a full-size elephant, able to lift hundreds of pounds with ease. When compared to their body-weight, some magi deem them the strongest creatures in the world. Any potential temple thief or troublemaker knows not to mess with an Albephas.
