Slon the Rook/Thwarthog from the Dragon Quest franchise. Slon is the boss character, Thwarthog is the generic enemy variant. The model came as Thwarthog in the source rip, I did the recolor to turn it into Slon.

Model is optimized heavily to cut down on filesize but animations still look great. Attack animation is sped up to work better with WC3 gameplay. The main stand animation was taken out of a much more complex than necessary idle.

Original model taken from Dragon Quest Tact by Square Enix.
Model ripped from source by stormygaret15.
Conversion to Warcraft 3, animation tweaks, recolors by Warlord.
