Olliephant

Most common in tropcial regions, the olliephant is the smaller, more docile cousin of the elephant. They were domesticated by early farmers in the regions to assist them in the feild work.
Adult olliphants stand about 4 feet tall, so they usually are not big enough to pull carriages. However, if they are properly trained, they can be hooked to a small wagon to haul supplies and materials around the fields. Sometimes, if they are strong enough, they can also offer rides to people. However since they are so small, they usually prefer to give rides to children or smaller people like halflings.
Like their larger cousins, the olliephants are generally friendly since they are herbivores, (their favorite treats are fruits such as apples, oranges, or bananas. The riper, the better!) Also like their relatives, olliephants are very attached to their family members and protective of their young. It has been noted that olliephants, once they are separated from their family, they will either become very aggresive or depressed, so many agree that it is better for olliephants to say with their families, especially mothers and babies.
Their friendly and loyal demeaner makes them loyal companions with people, to the point where they are looked at as part of their pack. Mother Olliephants have been known to attach themselves to children of families.
Olliephants have sometimes been adopted as family pets, much like miniature ponies. Though they are good work animals, they also love being pampered. One olliephant in particular named Matilda became famous after she was adopted by Lord Dunahan as a gift to his daughter. Later that year, during an event hosted by the Dunahans, Matilda got into a bit of trouble when she used her trunk to lift the skirt of Lady Dunahan in front of the Queen of Grimmwood.
