Common to the marshes and more solid areas of the Astan wetland (particularly western Asta near the hills that border the forest), these tall four-legged, hooved animals keep primarily to their herds and to themselves. Hunting around settled parts of Asta have driven most wetland elk deeper into the wilderness. Wetland elk can stand five feet tall at the shoulder and weigh nearly a thousand pounds (females are smaller). They are surprisingly fast and good swimmers.
