Actually not bad.
Spreading elephantitus through bites, could probably make a solid joke about how sleeps in a coffin (sitting up of course).

>origin is something to do with the ivory trade (you can go back as far as the 1500s if you want)
Cartoonish would be simple like his herd being slaughtered (if you want to anthropomorphize) or you could do the colonialism angle of having a slave put a curse on interlopers by turning an elephant into something similar to the archetypal characteristics of a vampire (you have to probably factor in the rich feeding off of the life force of the poor somehow, this can be inverted).
>white hunter tracking him with an anthropologist because he's fucking with the flow of ivory to x European country
Gives you the buddy and fish out of water angles. They can also represent different forms of imperialism attempting to assert control and if you don't mind cliches you can kill one of them off (or both if you want to end it that way)

>>le rich feeding off the poor
You didn't pick up on that as part of the vampire archetype? Pretty slow, anon.
>>le imperialism
Colonialism. Nothing of what I wrote says you can't have the hunter using force to keep things in line represented as superior to the condescending academic. If gives you the opportunity to criticize how academia has framed colonialism.

The question is, how does Count Elephantula operate? Does he pass as a regular elephant in the zoo when he's not drinking blood? Is he vulnerable to sunlight? Okay, we've figured out how he becomes Count Elephantula, but what does it actually mean to be Count Elephantula, anyway? Can he talk?

Count Elephantula is inherently political.

Dracula was literally about the jews literally sucking blood.

I'd lean into realism and have him only appear at night and seem to somehow vanish during the day. The less that is know about him the better. IMO the best part of horror is the establishment of character and theme while no one knows what the fuck is going on. Once the monster is 1:1 with the protags things get boring.

Its like if the elephant man couldn't die to escape his tormented life.

[Anonymous No.23076131]

>>23076103
The upper class being rejuvenated by interaction with he poor is a Victorian trope that still exists today (fuck, Titanic did it). The Dracula archetype took this and turned it into the idea of a static upperclass (feudal) figure literally feeding on the lives of peasants. If you read it in its historical context you can see it as indicative of angst toward a political system that would end in WWI.

ok here you go

America, 2020s.
The elephant calf Yochi is ill and in peril of death.
A degenerate homosexual orgy in New York has caused an outbreak of a brain altering virus that is sexually transmitted.
This fated night, one of the drunk, sex crazed faggots breaks into the zoo, and, unable to enter any of the cages or protected areas, heads for the veterinarian's office, looking to score some drugs. What does he find ?
Yochi of course, weak and defenseless, lying down trying to get through the illness.
The disgusting man, after some deliberation, has his way with the little Yochi, scarring him forever and transmitting the virus to him.

The following day, the incident is covered up as a meaningless act of vandalism and Yochi's accident is not even mentioned. After all, he was already ill. And he couldn't tell anybody.
But elephants never forget.

Yochi's illness worsens and spreads throughout his body. The doctors are worried and decide to send him someplace he can roam more freely and possibly recover.
Pittsburgh Zoo, Pennsylvania.

It is hard going but the malady clears and Yochi grows up to be a big strong elephant. He is not sociable. And he has found, for some reason, that he understands far more than his kin do, and than the humans give him credit for.

One day, as he is brought for a check inside the zoo facilities, his ears prick up as he chances to listen to a television. He recognizes a voice. A university professor, by the name of Daniel Lubovitz, is being interviewed. He looks unwell. Yochi is shaking. That's the man ! It was he visited him on that faithful night ! He spread his curse to Yochi and made him a lone elephant even among his equals !
That same night, the pachiderm escapes, breaking the nets that trap him, for half the strength of a prison is in the mind of the prisoner, and Yochi's rage can no longer be contained.

His tracks are lost in the forest.
His mission is to find and end a man, to exact a long overdue revenge.

Local legend has it a massive shadow roams around at night, staring with blood red eyes and woe unto those that meet it in the plains.

And in nights of storm, near certain abandoned sheds, a mysterious music plays after dark...out of a piano carved in human bones

I wonder if you're capable of realizing how much you told on yourself by accidentally making it so engaging in homosexuality gives you superpowers and imbues you with an increased ability to understand the world.
