[[Image:ElephantSizeComparison.jpg|thumb|left|The size of the Elephant in comparison to other vehicles and a real Elephant.]][[Image:Screenshot 6 preview.jpg|thumb|left|Marines deploy from an early Elephant variant.]]The Elephant is a mobile command base and repair [[vehicle]] and is able to pull an entire [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] by itslef. It can hold as many soldiers as you want to ride in it, and a Mongoose spawns in its forward hold. It is armed with a forward [[Elephant - M41 LAAG|M41 LAAG]] on the top right and a [[AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun]] on the mid left.<ref>''[[Halo 3 Epsilon]]''</ref> It is a three-story vehicle <ref>http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3161595</ref> with the bottom story, the respawn locale that opens out into the rear cargo tray, the second story, a walkway around the cargo ramp and leads onto the driver's cabin then a small, elevated third story where the M41 LAAG is assembled. It features a crane, numerous firing ports and elevated positions for defending it.<ref>''Famitsu Magazine''</ref> It has four tracks set up on each side of the chassis. Its chassis is as high as they are wide, providing stability. An IGN video shows its top speed, driver's cabin and turrets. Its maximum speed is 2.24 MPH (Based on the 1 meter/second figure). | [[Image:ElephantSizeComparison.jpg|thumb|left|The size of the Elephant in comparison to other vehicles and a real Elephant.]][[Image:Screenshot 6 preview.jpg|thumb|left|Marines deploy from an early Elephant variant.]]The Elephant is a mobile command base and repair [[vehicle]] and is able to pull an entire [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] by itslef.

In multiplayer, it can spawn troops, and holds crucial points of objective gametypes. Therefore, in CTF you can actually bring the Capture Point to the enemy flag, although this makes it easier for the enemy to steal yours. The Elephant is one of the best weapons on huge battles, since it is basically a drivable fortress, though it is not very effective with only a few people. | In multiplayer, it can spawn troops, and holds crucial points of objective gametypes. Therefore, in CTF you can actually bring the Capture Point to the enemy flag, although this makes it easier for the enemy to steal yours. The Elephant is one of the best weapons on huge battles, since it is basically a drivable fortress, though it is not very effective with only a few people. The Elephant cannot be destroyed, however it can be flipped if one places enough explosives underneath the vehicle. In addition to the Elephant's indestructibility, it also grants the driver a few advantages. Due to the indestructible nature of the Elephant, the driver is immune to damage from frontal fire, though rarely [[Spartan Laser]] blasts may penetrate the driver's window and kill him. However, the pilot is not immune to damage and any shots from behind will hurt him as they would normally, and he can be easily assassinated. In [[Forge]], the Elephant cannot be picked up, removed or spawned by the monitor. However, through modding, one can pick up the Elephant and read the information on the vehicle. By doing this, it shows that there is a limit of 255 Elephants and the cost of each is $255 Forge dollars. This is information from a modded Elephant and it cannot be confirmed without mods. In another variant of Sandtrap, called [[Sand Tarp (Level)|Sand Tarp]], Bungie used a special Forge tool to remove the Elephants from the map. In mods featuring more than ten Elephants, the game is prone to intense lag, and nearing the limit of Elephants can cause the game to crash. | ||
