In Large form, it loses the benefits of its invulnerability ability but gains the advantages of its new size and strength. A hollyphant remains in one form until it chooses to assume the other form. A change in form cannot be dispelled, nor does the hollyphant revert to any particular form when killed. A true seeing spell, reveals both simultaneously ### Trumpet Blast (Su) Three times per day, a hollyphant can issue a blast of energy through its trunk, choosing to emit either a 60-foot cone of sound or a 30-foot cone of star sprinkles. Creatures in the area of the sonic cone must succeed on a DC 14 Fortitude save, or take 2d10 sonic damage be be stunned for 2 rounds. A successful save results in half damage, and only 1 round of stunning. This is a sonic effect. The save DC for this ability is Constitution-based. Instead of a blast of sound, a hollyphant can blast a 30-foot cone of star sprinkles, that damaged evil outsiders, undead, and any other creature vulnerable to holy water. Such creatures in the area must succeed on a DC 16 Fortitude save or take 8d8 points of damage. A successful save halves the damage. The save DC for this ability is Charisma-based. #### ecology **Terrain** Wilderness of the Beastlands **Organization** Solitary or family (2–4) **Treasure** None **Advancement** By character class Hollyphants are servants of the powers of good, found throughout the Upper Planes on missions for such exalted deities as Chaav and Lastai. They act as messengers and helpers for any good deity, carry messages to mortals, and help celestial agents in their tasks. Their harmless, even comical appearance has proven the downfall of many evil creatures that grossly underestimate their significant magical and psionic power. A hollyphant has two forms—a Large bipedal mammoth with curved tusks and a small golden-furred elephant. In its Small form, the hollyphant measures 2 feet long and weighs 60 pounds. ### Combat Hollyphants make fre quent use of their blessed sight to discern evil creatures and either harass them, attack them itself, or alert more powerful celestials to their lo cation. They avoid physical confrontation because of their small size, but have a wide range of spell-like, supernatural, and psi-like abilities to defend themselves.
