Imagine a setting that is a post-apocalyptic world after the dissolution of a TL12 human civilization. You are running a game where the PCs are the descendants of the biological survivors of the dissolution. What survivng TL12 biological horrors and wonders would you have your PCs find during a campaign in such a setting?

One possible wonder (or horro, depending on your point of view) would be the Oliphant:

Oliphant [500]

A semi-sapient creature derived from human genetics, the Oliphant was designed to be a highly efficient meat, milk, and fur producer, as well as a beast of burden. Since the dissolution, they have been herded by some of the human tribes, who refuse to eat their meat because of the sensitivity of the charges, not realizing that their taboos prevent them from accidentally engaging in cannibalism. Wild Oliphants will hibernate during the winter while tame Oliphants will sleep during the winter between meals.
