This Elephant I made last year. It is used in our theatre. ("In 80 'Tagen um die Welt", carrying Phileas Fogg, Passpartout and their friends.)
This took pretty much efford and time to make. Rig could be used for basic animations. Due to dependency cycles I did not rig the trunk. If you like, you can play with your own rigs.

I remember how I once struggled with rigging a character in Blender, spending weeks on it, and in the end, something still broke. The author did a great job sharing this, even though a trunk without rigging is a classic pain for animators. Projects like this always inspire me to keep creating, but when I don't have the energy for modeling anymore and my soul craves adventure and beautiful characters, I switch to Genshin Impact. Genshin Impact Accounts really save the day there. I bought a ready-made account with cool 5* heroes, and immediately jumped into the endgame without grinding. Now, instead of frustration from bugs in the rig, I get pure enjoyment from farming and the storyline.
