Large Riding Creatures

Egg or Live Birth:

The tusks are about ½ inch long and are pure ivory. These tusks are highly prized because of the purity of the ivory. The tusks also purify anything it touches. === ===The Elephantas Minor babies tend to hide in the sand, coming out at night and near cactus where it gets its water and food. '''===

Young:

Even though they are timid and docile creatures, they can do a lot damage if becomes they are angered. '''===
