Post-Challenge:
For the comment about the elephant's color being "off"... I didn't know elephants were this color either til this trip to the zoo. I googled to find out more about elephant skin color and found this fascinating info:
"The natural skin color of an elephant is greyish black, but the apparent color (what you see on first sight) is determined by the soil of the land. This is caused by the elephant throwing mud over its back."
So I guess this is the elephant color you get from Georgia Red Clay.

Grog hunts today. Finds... mammoth? No fur? Sick animal, no good for feeding Grog's females and younglings.

I really like the idea you were going for. The colors however seem off. The elephant looks to orange instead of the grey it should be.
