Should make ToughBone, ToughTooth, ToughNail, ToughMuscle, ToughSkin for monsters, so not all monsters have puny human bones and human skin. Maybe that's the main thing wrong with hydra/dragon/giant now, made out of puny materials. (Cow bone strength numbers at http://www.engin.umich.edu/class/bme456/bonefunction/bonefunction.htm)
Done with materials. Testing in arena.
four toughmaterial elephants killed a Genesis Red Dragon without casualties.
8 toughmaterial elephants team vs. 8 regular elephants, I think 4 or 5 tough-ele survived.
Six stone dwarves, copper sword, shield, copper armor, no skills, versus two tough-ele. Bah the tough-ele wore same copper armor! Redo.
One dwarf dead, tough-elephants defeated. Spreadsheet:
