While said title was never officially released outside of Japan, the ROM received an English fan translation, courtesy of Starmen.net, in 2008. Ostrelephant [Ý™åœaŒ (Dachou Zou), literally "Ostrich Elephant", in the original Japanese version] is just one example of the many strange animal amalgams that the game's protagonists will have to contend with throughout their adventures.</p> <br> <br> <table width=95% align=center border=3 cellpadding=3 bgcolor=bc7119> <tr> <td colspan=4 bgcolor=black> <center> <font color=gold size=7><i><b>Ostrelephant Statistics</b></i></font></center> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width=50% bgcolor=d9b790 rowspan=4 colspan=2> <center> <br> <img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/kramwartap/kramwartap002/MTH_3_ostrelephant_sprite_zpsb6ddd2c0.gif~original"> <br> </center> </td> <td width=25% valign=top> <center><font color=black><b>Japanese Name:</b> <br> <font color=fbf4d6 size=5><i>Ý™åœaŒ<br>Dachou Zou<br><font size=3>(Ostrich Elephant)</font></i></font></font></center> </td> <td width=25%> <center><font color=black><b>Encounter:</b> <br> <font color=fbf4d6 size=5><i>Outside the Chimera Lab<br><font size=3>(Chapter 7)</font></i></font></font></center> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <center><font color=black><b>Hit Points (HP):</b> <br> <font color=fbf4d6 size=5><i>400</i></font></font></center> </td> <td> <center><font color=black><b>Psi Points (PP):</b> <br> <font color=fbf4d6 size=5><i>0</i></font></font></center> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <center><font color=black><b>Experience Level:</b> <br> <font color=fbf4d6 size=5><i>37</i></font></font></center> </td> <td> <center><font color=black><b>Experience Points (EXP):</b> <br> <font color=fbf4d6 size=5><i>374</i></font></font></center> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign=top> <center><font color=black><b>Dragon Power (DP):</b> <br> <font color=fbf4d6 size=5><i>$75</i></font></font></center> </td> <td> <center><font color=black><b>Item Drops:</b> <br> <font color=fbf4d6 size=5><i>Beef Jerky<br><font size=3>(5% chance) <br> [Recover 60 HP]</font></i></font></font></center> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <center><font color=black><b>Offense:</b> <br> <font color=fbf4d6 size=5><i>105</i></font></font></center> </td> <td> <center><font color=black><b>Defense:</b> <br> <font color=fbf4d6 size=5><i>50</i></font></font></center> </td> <td> <center><font color=black><b>IQ:</b> <br> <font color=fbf4d6 size=5><i>25</i></font></font></center> </td> <td> <center><font color=black><b>Speed:</b> <br> <font color=fbf4d6 size=5><i>48</i></font></font></center> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan=2> <center><font size=5 color=black><b>Attacks:</b></center> <font color=fbf4d6 size=4><font color=black><li>Charge Forward:</font> <i>Inflicts 70-80 points of damage.</i></font></font></li> <font color=fbf4d6 size=4><font color=black><li>Continuous Peck Attack:</font> <i>Hits twice, inflicting 20-30 points of damage with each strike.</i></font></font></li> <font color=fbf4d6 size=4><font color=black><li>Fans its Ears:</font> <i>No damage or effects.</i></font></font></li> </td> <td colspan=2 valign=top> <center><font size=5 color=black><b>Resistances:</b></center> <font color=fbf4d6 size=4><font color=black><li>Strong:</font> <i>DCMC and Poison.</i></font></font></li> <font color=fbf4d6 size=4><font color=black><li>Moderate:</font> <i>Apologize, Cry, Ice, Laugh, Paralyze, Sleep, Strange, and Wall Staple.</i></font></font></li> <font color=fbf4d6 size=4><font color=black><li>Weak:</font> <i>Bomb, Fire, Flammable, Freezable, and Light.</i></font></font></li> </td> </tr> </table> <br> <br> <p align=center><b><font size=+1 color=gold>Materials:</font></b> <br> Newsprint, tissue paper, white glue, acrylic paint, super glue, and transparent plastic (disc base only).</p> <p align=center><b><font size=+1 color=gold>Dimensions:</b></font> <br> 4.3 cm (1.7") x 5.5 cm (2.2") <i> [widest point x highest point]</i></p> <p align=center><b><font size=+1 color=gold>Time:</font></b> <br> Two days;
