| Jun 1, 2021 at 20:37 | comment | added | Erudaki | There are a plethora of animals I could include. Almost any of the "Dire" creatures. Bats like you said for a cheap detect invis. I didnt include them because I thought it would be redundant and excessive to list every possible example. I specify my question as "Is there something I am missing about these animals and why they are priced so low in comparison to other equipment and gear that is much less powerful?" A bat vs Ioun Wyrd construct is far cheaper. And I think the answers address this question well. A bat would be far harder to take around and keep than an Ioun Wyrd. | |

However, there are numerous non-Huge creatures that can be used, and even some Tiny ones. E.g. regular, common bats are good for their Blindsense. | |

| Jun 1, 2021 at 12:17 | comment | added | Erudaki | I was not asking about Mastodons in specific, they were just a one of many example I used. I can name countless other animals that are powerful compared to their price. | |
| May 31, 2021 at 21:33 | comment | added | R.I.P.30.12.21Baskakov_Dmitriy | I have renamed your question so that its title better reflects its scope (you are asking about Mastodons, not all purchasable animals in general). I did it with an intent to ask a similar question about other purchasable animals. | |

| Mar 23, 2021 at 16:49 | comment | added | Erudaki | Infact, its even more trivial if the animal is raised, but as another commenter stated, that would require killing it. However that can be made trivial with coup de grace or some critical thinking | |
| Mar 23, 2021 at 16:40 | comment | added | Erudaki | As per handle animal rules, combat training is a DC 20, and that is very trivial for the character. It takes 6 weeks if the animal is untrained, or 3 if it is already trained for riding. If the party is given much downtime, or the opportunity to take downtime, this check is impossible to fail as handle animal is a skill you can take 10 on in most cases. | |

| Mar 23, 2021 at 5:11 | comment | added | Erudaki | I have noticed that this is for a large quantity of animals in general, but not all. This is not just specific to the Mastodon, but Dire animals are in a similar state as well as several dinos and a few others | |
| Mar 23, 2021 at 3:47 | comment | added | Ifusaso 'he-him' | Are you interested in answers that compare the relative value of the various creatures for sale or specifically in the Mastodon (which, based on a quick perusal might be out of the norm)? | |
