Description

A remake of an older work, trying to keep the spirit, yet make it even more alien. The head is based on a dream creature, with a trunk added to it:

kingovrats.deviantart.com/art/…

An alien creature that was worshipped as godand then enslaved by an evil wizard.

"(...)the image had the body of a man, naked, and green in color; but the head was one of nightmare and madness. Too large for the human body, it had no attributes of humanity. Conan stared at the wide flaring ears, the curling proboscis, on either side of which stood white tusks tipped with round golden balls. The eyes were closed, as if in sleep.

This then, was the reason for the name, the Tower of the Elephant, for the head of the thing was much like that of the beasts described by the Shemitish wanderer. This was Yara's god; where then should the gem be, but concealed in the idol, since the stone was called the Elephant's Heart?

As Conan came forward, his eyes fixed on the motionless idol, the eyes of the thing opened suddenly! The Cimmerian froze in his tracks. It was no image--it was a living thing, and he was trapped in its chamber!"

Conan wasn't really trapped. Yag-kosha , once he realized that Conan was not his torturer, actually needed his help, and gave him instructions to deal with Yara.
