 Preface

Ah, yes, I was expecting you! You must have received

my message... or perhaps your own curiosity has
brought you here? Nevermind, it doesn’t matter why
you have come, but rather the important part is that
you now hold this one-of-a-kind tome in your hands!

You see, while trying to find new strains of

mushrooms indigenous to a unique region near one
of the portals to the Nine Hells, I came across a most
fascinating yet little-known creature in the realms:
a hollyphant! They are so often busy with their
celestial duties that a conversation with one is such
a rare opportunity, and of course I had to introduce
myself for the sake of knowledge.

Through my academic endeavours I got to know

Lulu, the noblest of hollyphants. While she is a
truly wonderful and engaging conversationalist, I
was compelled to write down all of the insight and
stories that she shared. Indeed, this very book you
hold in your hands contains all of the knowledge
that I gathered from these conversations about
hollyphants, the most wonderfully fantastical
creatures.

Of course, at her request, I let Lulu write her own

notes into this book as well (who knew a hollyphant
could write so well with no thumbs?), and so you will
see some of Lulu’s thoughts straight from the horse’s
mouth... or rather, the hollyphant’s trunk.

This book is named after Lulu, as it would not exist

without her. With this in hand, I trust that you too
will share the knowledge about hollyphants... and
perhaps befriend one as well!

- Shandalar, the Wizard of Ulgoth’s Beard

(P.S. excuse any glitter you find on these pages,

hollyphants seem to emanate sparkles wherever
they go... fascinating!)

 Hollyphants
Hollyphants are Celestial elephantine creatures
from the Upper Planes who work for the forces
of good. Small, golden-furred, and winged,

and their agents to bring about a better world for
everyone. Okay friend, there’s one thing

In the many eons of war between the forces of the
Nine Hells and the Upper Planes, angels have rallied
armies to keep evil at bay, and from the beginning
hollyphants have been right by their side. Most
depictions of events such as The Blood War show
angels astride hollyphants, diving straight into
battle. A particularly famous duo of hollyphant and
angel was Lulu and Zariel, before the latter fell from
grace and became an archdevil.

Light and Unbreakable Spirits
Hollyphants are resolutely positive beings who seek
to bring goodness to everyone. Many hollyphants
believe in the power of kindness and joy when it
comes to making the world a better place. Even
when they are insulted, they’re quicker to forgive
than exact revenge (as long as the perpetrator isn’t
evil-aligned). Some hollyphants use harmless jokes
and pranks to lighten the mood, always double-
checking to make sure that they didn’t cross a line.
This positivity and optimism is infectious, and it’s
no surprise that hollyphants easily befriend others.

Unassuming Appearance
While in their smaller form, hollyphants are the
size of a large dog, and are often considered to be
very cute and unthreatening. Some hollyphants
are sensitive about how they look, taking offense
to anyone underestimating them because of their
whimsical appearance. Other hollyphants use this
to their advantage, allowing enemies to misjudge
their true power long enough to get close and
attack. However, a creature that has Truesight
is able to see that the hollyphant has two forms
overlapping each other: one as a small golden
elephant and another as a formidable mammoth
(though a hollyphant is not able to tap into the
power of the mammoth until they are older).

Hollyphant Traits
Your hollyphant character has the following traits.
Ability Score Increase. Your choice of either your
Charisma score or your Wisdom score increases by
2. Your Strength score is reduced by 1.
Age. Hollyphants are mature from their genesis
and do not age, though their power and magic do
improve over time. Though they can be killed, they
are ageless, and never die of old age.
Alignment. Hollyphants are almost always
friends to good-aligned deities and angels. Most
hollyphants are either Lawful Good or Neutral
Good, though, like angels, some hollyphants do fall
from grace and acquire other alignments.
Size. In their most common form, hollyphants are
miniature elephants the size of a small dog. Your
size is Small.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 20 feet, and your
flying speed is 60 feet.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write
Common and Celestial.
Elephantine Body. Your elephantine hide protects
you, but also restricts you from wearing armor or
clothes. You can wield a single weapon or hold a
single item with your powerful trunk, but you do
not have hands and cannot dual wield weapons or
wield a weapon and a shield at the same time. Your
AC is 13 + your Dexterity modifier.
Poison Immunity. You are immune to poison
damage and the poisoned condition.
Telepathy. You can telepathically speak to any
creature you can see within 120 feet of you. You
don’t need to share a language with the creature for
it to understand your telepathy, but it must be able
to understand at least one language.
Tusks. Your tusks are natural melee weapons,
which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you
hit with them, you deal piercing damage equal to
1d6 + your strength modifier.
Trumpet. You can blow air through your trunk,
creating a trumpet sound that can be heard out
to a range of 600 feet. Once you use this trait, you
can’t use it again until you finish a short or long
rest. The trumpet also creates a 30-foot cone of
energy that has one of the following effects that you
choose:
Trumpet of Blasting. Each creature in the cone
must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 +
your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier). On
a failed save, a creature takes 2d6 thunder damage
and is deafened for 1 minute. The damage increases
to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at
16th level. Non-magical objects damaged by this
ability take twice as much thunder damage.
Trumpet of Sparkles. Each creature in the cone
must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 +
your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier).
Evil creatures in the cone have disadvantage on
their saving throw. On a failed save, any creature
that is not Good takes 2d6 radiant damage. The
damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th
level, and 5d6 at 16th level.
Hollyphant Magic. You know the light cantrip.
When you reach 6th level, you can cast the
following spells twice per day each: Bless, Cure
Wounds, and Protection from Evil and Good.
When you reach 11th level, you can also cast one
the following spells once per day: Banishment,
Heal, and Shapechange. You may only shapechange
into a golden-furred mammoth with four feathered
wings and a flying speed of 120 feet.
Your choice of either Charisma or Wisdom is your
spellcasting ability for these spells. When you cast
them with this trait, they don’t require components,
and any spent abilities from this trait are regained
daily at dawn.

 Lulu’s Advice on Being a Hollyphant

So you wanna be a hollyphant, eh? Well, I can help! Here’s a few tips:

• Hollyphants are kind and like to spread joy wherever they go. But hollyphants get sad
too! It’s hard to see evil win and bad things happen to people who don’t deserve it.
Most of us don’t stay sad too long, but some hollyphants are sadder than others. We rely
on our friends to cheer us up, so a hollyphant without friends is a saddyphant, indeed.

• A lot of people in the Realms look the other way when someone does something bad, but
not hollyphants! We are chosen warriors and messengers and our duty is to fight evil
creatures and stop them from hurting people. Some hollyphants (like me!) believe that
many evil creatures can be redeemed and shown how to be better people, but plenty of
hollyphants are less forgiving.

• We like to fly! Our legs are real short and kinda clumsy, but flying and hovering feels so
good on our skin. There’s just nothing like the north wind whipping through your fur to
wake you up in the morning!

• We can do all sorts of neat tricks with our trunks! We can juggle, write, paint, sword
fight, give awesome high-fives, cook delicious meals, and blow out magical sparkles that
make our friends feel good about themselves and make baddies feel our righteous wrath!
We can’t build sandcastles though, they always end up a total mess, and that’s kinda
sad.

• All hollyphants have a purpose, even though that purpose sometimes changes as we
get older and our magic gets stronger. Some of us are messengers for the angels and
gods and goddesses, while others are powerful warriors that protect the planes against
devils and demons and nasty undead creatures that feast on flesh and terrorize maidens!
A few hollyphants grow up to become spiritual leaders, while others decide to strike it
out on their own, living quiet lives amongst mortals or becoming awesome adventurers
with lots of interesting friends.

• Hollyphants may look a lot alike, but we’re actually all really different from each other!
We have different hobbies and things that we like (and things that we don’t like). Some
hollyphants are aromantic and just interested in friendship, but other hollyphants fall in
love with all types of creatures in the world. We’re really accepting of everyone, so long
as they aren’t super evil.

• Every time a child makes a wish on a shooting star, and that wish doesn’t come true, a
hollyphant is born! Sometimes we go on a big adventure to find the child that created
us. We can’t grant wishes (except for evil-evil-evil gajasura, but they don’t count as
hollyphants anymore!) Still, if we can make the child’s life a little bit better, even if they
are all grown up by the time we find them, then that’s the least we can do! After all, we
wouldn’t even exist without them.

 Hollyphant NPCs
Hollyphant Younglings
Full of wonder and joy about the world around
them, young hollyphants are some of the most
innocent creatures in all of the planes. While they
do not have the ability to cast spells yet, their
curiosity is unparalleled as they seek to understand
the world and creatures they’re meant to protect.
With their aura of innocence, It takes an especially
wicked individual to harm a hollyphant youngling.
Despite their inexperience, a hollyphant youngling
will not back down from a fight when an evil act is
committed against an innocent before their eyes.
Though they are not yet individually powerful, a
parade of hollyphant younglings have enough magic
in their trumpeting trunks to fend off bandits,
gnolls, goblins, and other small bands of evil-doers.
Hollyphant Seekers
Hollyphant seekers are messengers, heralds, and
helpers to beings in the Celestial planes. Not able
to transform into mammoths, hollyphant seekers
aren’t warriors. Instead, they’re the ones most often
sent to the Material plane to deliver messages,
investigate suspicious activity, and work with
adventurers. Sometimes, seekers can be found in
remote regions of the world that lack well-trained
priests, healing the sick and helping to build
temples to teach communities about the Gods.
In a confrontation that cannot be resolved by
words, hollyphant seekers do their best to support
any allies they might have with their healing and
protective magic. If a situation looks dire, they
attack with their trumpet, simultaneously sending
a telepathic message to a commanding angel, a
hollyphant knight or elder, or even a deity to come
to their aid against evil.
Hollyphant Knights
When people picture hollyphants in battle, the
hollyphant knight comes to mind. With elongated
tusks and the ability to spellcast and transform into
mammoths, hollyphant knights are dedicated and
formidable warriors. When not fighting, hollyphant
knights spend most of their time with their riders,
forming incredibly deep bonds with them. It is said
that the friendship between a hollyphant knight
and its angel rider is unbreakable, and more than
one celestial romance has blossomed from the
pairing.
A single hollyphant knight is a fearsome opponent.
In their smaller form, the knights’ elongated tusks
are blessed with holy power similar to a paladin’s.
They use their tusks or the banishment spell when
focusing their righteous wrath on a single powerful
opponent. Against a group of foes, they prefer to
fly overhead and unleash their destructive wave
spell or use their powerful trumpet attacks. If they
become injured (reduced to half of its maximum
hit points), a hollyphant knight casts shapeshift
to transform into its mammoth form, using their
ability to fly along with its Trampling Charge to
crash into foes from above. Their powerful Reflective
Aura makes the hollyphant knight a bane to
spellcasters in both of its forms.
