An elephant rolls the dice its target would normally roll against it (3 against elephants, warriors, heavy chariots and camels; 1 against a lone leader). Cavalry and chariots fighting an elephant face an elephant that ignores one red square hit and one flag, and they retreat one extra hex per flag. Elephants gain no leader benefits, and when battling back they do not use the attacker's bonus dice.
