“Most people prefer chains, although they spend enormous amounts of effort swapping sets of chains.From the collected sayings of Saint Sugahata the Reviled The Taur-elephant mowed through the Mali-grass like the dream of all lawn-owners. The scything tusks moved in twenty foot sweeps leaving not a blade of grass standing. The long prehensile upper-lip seized the grass and shoved it into a maw full of grinding molars. The molars were remarkably effective at shredding the tough grass. They were ju...st as good at mashing anything else that came along as incidentals with the grass. Strictly speaking Taur-elephants were omnivores, although they only harvested grass. If you were mobile you left fast when the grass fell, otherwise you got eaten. They knew the Taur-elephant was approaching because of the fleeing animals. The mound would be relatively safe, as even Mali-grass would not grow there, and the huge harvesters wouldn’t go there unless there was food, or time to sleep.
