Skelelk
elk-bodied, bones worn on the outside
HP 9, Morale 8, Exoskeleton −d6, Antlers d6
Encountered in groups of d4.
Special: The skeleton is worn outside the meat. Blunt weapons always deal maximum damage; the cage of bone cracks but does not give.
Lore: An elk grown wrong, its ribs and skull on the outside, its softer parts hidden within the cage. The herd moves through Sarkash in silence — bone does not creak the way leather does. Hunters who bring axes do better than hunters who bring blades.

Gaps / Expansion Notes
Whether the inverted skeleton is curse, mutation, or natural Sarkash adaptation is open. What lives inside an exoskeleton-elk's hollow rib-cage is GM's choice for any cracked specimen.
