'''Giant elephants''' are the even more massive [[Creature|cousins]] of the common [[elephant]], found in [[savage]] [[tropical]] [[forest]]s and [[shrubland]]s. 666 times heavier than a [[dwarf]], they are [[list of creatures by adult size#end of list|truly enormous]] to say the very least; not only are they eight times the size of regular elephants, they are even larger than [[megabeast]]s like the [[dragon]] or [[roc]]. They are by far the largest land-dwelling creatures in the game and are joint second in size (along with the [[giant orca]]) only to the [[aquatic]] [[giant sperm whale]].
 
 
 
As big as they are, giant elephants are as vulnerable to [[cage]] [[trap]]s as anything else, and like normal elephants, they can be [[Animal trainer|trained]] into pets. Like their smaller counterparts, giant elephants are trainable for both war and hunting. If you can train one, they make the best defense animals in the game; not much can stand against a giant elephant, let alone multiple. They also offer an almost unparalleled bonanza of [[butcher]]ing returns.
 
 
 
[[Undead]] Giant Elephants will likely be one of the most [[fun]] creatures you will ever encounter. Consider use for [[Clown]] hunting
 
 
 
Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] giant elephants for their ''strength'', their ''amazing trunks'', their ''calves' spirited antics'', their ''tusks'', their ''great weight'', their ''social behavior'', their ''flappy ears'', their ''uprooting of trees'', their ''aggressive sparring'', their ''trumpeting'', their ''tool use'' and their ''self-awareness''.

According to legend, in a great siege several humans mounted fortresses on the backs of these great beasts, and rode them into battle as weapons of war.
