A relatively new race, gorillephants are rumored to be the creation of a druid who sought to merge the intelligence of a gorilla with the power of an elephant. This druid then awakened his creations and set them free to start their own society, whereupon they ran afoul of gnoll slavers. They routed the slavers and passed their first test at survival in the greater world, but the experience left them embittered towards gnolls.
Gorillephants live in families or troops with leadership going to the senior member of the group, regardless of gender. Thus far, gorillephants have been reluctant to live in, let alone travel to, urban areas, but a handful of rebellious and adventurous gorillephants have made their presence known.
