Excavation Elephant/Missile Elephant

In Dominaria, particularly on the continents of Jamuraa and Terisiare, there lives herds of wild elephants that have wandered those lands for unbroken centuries, surviving through cataclysm and catastrophe. While not any more intelligent than normal elephants, the incredible events of Dominaria have nonetheless left their impression on the creatures. By watching and studying the activities of the humanoids and other creatures that have come to the elephants over the years, these beasts have learned to mimic the use of certain magic items, conjuring up their powers for their own.   Digging up the Past Many creatures on Dominaria have been subject to centuries of magical power, warping and twisting their physiology into strange and unearthly beings. But excavation elephants seem to be a rare natural adaptation, a variation of the common elephant capable of enhanced magical resistance, and through an as-yet unknown process, the ability to detect the magic of lost artifacts buried beneath the ground. These elephants will search for these magic items as they walk the plains, digging them up when found and using them to help defend their herds. Because of this uncanny magical sense, these elephants are frequently tamed by archaeologists, to give assistance to their digs for the lost treasures of the past.
