The Elephant of Surprise looks like an Elephant, but you never see them coming. Elephants of Surprise gain surprise on 1-6 on a d6. You still need to roll , because it is possible that both the party and the Elephant will be surprised. These Elephants are sneaky, getting a 95% on Hide in Shadows, Move Silently and Climb Walls.

The Mastodon of Surprise is similar to its Elephant counterpart, but is also surprisingly wooly.

Tusks of these Elephants and Mamoths are worth 500-1000 GP.

Terrain: Any (where you least expect them!)
