| − | '''Elekk''' are a species of large, [[elephant]]-like creatures native to [[Outland|Draenor]] that the [[draenei]] commonly employ as mounts. They are found mostly in the northern and eastern parts of [[Nagrand]] — where {{reputation|neutral}} [[Wild Elekk]] roam its lush plains (while being preyed upon by poachers for their ivory tusks) — and in the southern region near [[Oshu'gun]] — where they congregate into large herds of hostile bull elekk with the giant elekk matriarch [[Tusker]] at their head. The ''Burning Crusade'' bestiary also reports that "''There are accounts of packs of rock flayers taking down even mighty elekk that had wandered into the rock flayers' territory.''" |

| − | Baby elekks have ear flaps, but its unclear what happens to adult elekks since adults appear to have no ear flaps. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Some players call elekk "shoopufs" (a reference to a similar creature in ''Final Fantasy X''), much as [[hawkstrider]]s are called "chocobos". However, since shoopufs aren't as well-known, it's less widespread than the latter nickname. |

| − | ==The Kessel Run== |
||
| − | [[Kessel]], the draenei elekk lord in the southern part of [[Bloodmyst Isle]], temporarily allows Alliance players to ride his elekk for 15 minutes in the quest "{{quest|The Kessel Run}}". It provides 100% movement speed, which is enough to get to [[Stillpine Hold]], [[Azure Watch]], [[Odesyus' Landing]], and then back. Players can be dismounted either manually (right-clicking the icon), by jumping into water, by entering a building/cave, or by attempting to travel across the bridge to the main part of Bloodmyst Isle. Certain buffs and spells, such as shaman weapon buffs, also dismount the player. |
