Useful Info

Elephant slugs are big, tough, and hit like a ton of bricks. Engaging them in melee can very often be a lethal mistake. Fortunately, they move at less than half the average character's speed.

Tips & Tricks

  • So long as you have room to maneuver and no other monsters attack you, kiting them is easy.
  • They have 20 HD. Don't polymorph them unless you're looking for out-of-depth trouble.
