Going to have to duck out since I'm playing The Library on Legendary.

Actually, I've been wondering, for the sake of my own story, how elephants would act in combat against an opponent that's bigger than them. They can't really buck, but their trunks would be useful for using weapons.

@ latenight: actually, I imagine the spikes to be rather stubby and conical. They're for cracking the scales, not piercing.

Bye bad!

Oh hey, E Ps could use 'swinging weapons'...like whips, fails, morning stars...

@Purple Dalek: That could also be a good interpretation of their cutie marks. I always assumed it had to do with how close they are to each other. They're like pieces of an apple—only whole when they're together.

well, thing I think would work best, would be have the scale be incredably hard, but if a few heavy bucks can shatter or knock lose a few, the hide itself is a bit thicker and heavier then a smaller animal but complety vulnerable.

@Rainbow Good idea. I love Flim and Flam. They're my favourite villains so far and their song is awesome.

And I have a thing for 1950s American voices.[lol]

Hm. I like the idea of E Ps using morning stars, whips, meteor hammers and the like, but they'd need to be careful not to strike themselves in the head. Using such heavily weighted free-swinging weapons could be hazardous to a pony's health if you aren't paying attention, I'd wager.

[up]Congratulations!

@CDRW African or Indian? But elephants just charge at their targets and headbutt them unless they're really bigger but they can take down some very very big and well rooted trees. They'll also use their tusks to gore. Last thing elephants are called the ghosts of the grasslands because they're very quiet and you don't see them until its too late. So they're ninjas. [lol]

@ latenight: They're African elephants, fighting a very large dragon. That's how I figured they'd act, but I'm not sure if they could penetrate the scales with just their tusks. Several of them working together might be able to topple it, but then what?

Oh, I agree Purple Dalek, the 1930-1950's had some of the best slang! It's one reason I love movies from that era, besides the acting and the wardrobe.

[up]I assume they'd trample it once they knocked it prone, and elephants move fairly quickly, so there would be little chance for the dragon to recover I think.

Speaking of the 30s-50s Dick Tracy would be an awesome pony.
