Think of a cat jumping off the floor and climbing up your thigh, only way way bigger and with more being crushed.

A bulette is essentially a shark-bulldog hybrid; the fact that it is the size of an elephant is not just a physical impossibility, but also a distinct advantage on the offensive... "That thing plummeting toward me simply cannot be real, I disbelieve." "You fail, and take... 46 damage." "Juh? :confused:"

Naderion 03-16-08, 09:25 AM	But a moose is a kind of deer, with legs similar to those of a horse and horses have no problems jumping either.

That sounds wrong. If an elephant landed on you, you might be crushed under one foot, after which it could stomp on you with the other feet by shifting around.
Space_Dragon 03-16-08, 03:02 PM	That sounds wrong. If an elephant landed on you, you might be crushed under one foot, after which it could stomp on you with the other feet by shifting around. Which is probably what the bullette does.
Dead_Weasel 03-16-08, 04:03 PM	That sounds wrong. If an elephant landed on you, you might be crushed under one foot, after which it could stomp on you with the other feet by shifting around.Honestly, I cannot imagine an airborne elephant doing anything but flailing its legs and screaming, so it is difficult for me to argue the point realistically.
Slagger the Chuul 03-16-08, 08:48 PM	Which is probably what the bullette does. They have a name for that. It's "Trample".
bhu 03-17-08, 07:14 PM	Ive seen several elephant attack vids. In most of them they simply run people over or toss them around with the trunk. But in one particularly nasty one a bull elephant pinned a guy to the ground with one foot, and drove its tusk through the side of his abdomen. He had to ride 4 hours through the jungle in the back of a truck to find medical help. He lived. TOugh old guy...
ozzfann0666 03-19-08, 09:57 AM	Honestly, I see it more like it charges and uses its powerful leg muscles to jump on you, clawing all the while. But thats just me. Or maybe the way it works is that each of the front claws gets two attacks....
