Guardian Gifts. Some cultists and temples have tried to train chang nams with some success to serve as guardians, especially when training is supplemented with magical control. They are clever beasts and enjoy shiny things, collecting them with their tiny but prehensile trunks. They can be plied with gifts to gain their favor, and some may be encountered dressed in regal finery resembling the accoutrements of royal elephants, but in miniature.
