You guys have got some of the information on the Elephant a little mistaken. First of all it can't hold a scorpion, a warthog, and 2 mongooses. But instead a scorpion OR a warthog OR two mongooses. Not all 4 but one of the 3. The reason the back is open in the pic at the bottom is because there is a crane that is used to put the vehicles in there. The top may need to be open to insert the vehicles. (Or maybe it is open for the Hornet nobody can be sure) ALL THE INFO I HAVE GIVEN U IS CONFIRMED BY BUNGIE IN THERE UPDATES AND PODCASTS. Some of u refer back to it but you didn't read the articles quite right. READ THEM AGAIN.- RammsteinGunner

Sounds like this thing is going to be good. Also sounds like we'll probably be able to drive the Scarab thing. --[[User:Lordofmonsterisland| <font color="green">Lordofmonsterisland</font>]][[User talk:Lordofmonsterisland| <font color="green">"Roar to me"</font>]] 23:22, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

I have discovered that the original concept for the Elephant was a toy that was actually released in the 1990's. I will attempt to post a picture of it when I can -- RadicalEdward2

By what it says in the specifications, it sounds more like the opposite of a Covenant Shadow. [[User:HarryButtkiss|HarryButtkiss]] 15:02, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

In the the article it says: This drivable vehicle appears to be like a mobile base: twelve soldiers can ride in it. Where did the information of it housing twelve players come from? Because if it's true then that could be indicative of 12v12 multiplayer matches.

I'm not so sure that you can fit all of those in there. He just said there was enough room for them all. He may be talking about walkways and the top included. Who knows though. I want all of those things in there. That would be awesome.

Based on the overall look of the elephant, it incredibly resembles a Sandcrawler from Star Wars, i suggest we add it to the Trivia. QX100 08:20, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

All I did was I went to Forge (Sandtrap), I took all of the Covenant batteries and Fusion Coils, put them into a big pile, drove the Elephant on to them, and blew them up. I have a video and screenshot of it in my fileshare. My gamertag is SilentKillerx07.

I drive the elephant slowly and somehow unnoticed around one side of the map (Pelican side) No allies come to help or spawn, no enemies even come close to me.
I drive the elephant slowly and somehow unnoticed around one side of the map (Pelican side) No allies come to help or spawn, no enemies even come close to me.
I finally park my elephant behind our base, and at that moment, it says 'Flag Taken'. I then realize my mistake, seeing as the enemy has to only walk out of the underground base and walk a few feet to end the game.

But they don't. They go out another exit, to our vehicle spawn, and get in a warthog, driving back to their base. I look out the cockpit with my Rocket Launcher scope and laugh. Around 1 minute left in the game. I overhear an enemy mic say 'Where's our flag point?'. It never occures to anyone that I had the elephant, but my mic wasn't working, so I couldn't tell my allies of my plan. Round ends, and we win the game. I look and see the person with my flag running around in circles, not knowing where his Elephant was.

:::While totally unrelated to JOTUN, but all to do with Oliphant, it should and must be noted that in the Lord of the Rings franchise, the "elephants" are called Olifants (with one 'f', not two) or Oliphaunt/Oliphant by the Halflings (the Hobbits), and are also referred to more specifically, as Mûmakil, or for short, Mûmak.

::::Not really relevant.

== M312 or M313? ==
Right in front of me (IRL) is the Art of Halo 3 and the Elephant in the book is printed as M313 and not M312... is this a typo or has no one actually checked, ignored this and go along with what others said? - [[User:-Ascension-|<span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:#E32636;">Sketch</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:-Ascension-|<span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:#E32636;">ist</span>]]</sup> 01:56, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
how does this get down to the surface?
== Elephant in Spartan Assault ==
Okay, this page says the Elephant (M313) is in halo Spartan Assault. It may be from the image, but the actual ingame model is the M312 elephant from halo wars, aka the troop transport version. The two have distinctly different hull layouts. I think it should be reviewed and corrected, especially since the game is both on PC and xbox now.
