{{refstart}}The majestic '''giant {{SRD5|Elk}}''' is rare to the point that its appearance is often taken as a foreshadowing of an important event, such as the birth of a king. Legends tell of gods that take the form of giant elk when visiting the {{SRD5|Material Plane}}. Many cultures therefore believe that to hunt these creatures is to invite divine wrath.{{refend|{{SRD5ref}}}}
