Wario carrying an Elephant in Wario World.

Elephants[1] are the largest existing land animals which are the only surviving members of the family Elephantidae and the order Proboscidea. The order was formerly much more diverse during the Pleistocene, but most species became extinct during the Late Pleistocene epoch.

Some enemies in Wario World. They are only found in Wonky Circus. They will try to attack Wario by charging up and ramming into him, and are invincible while attacking. Elephants are both highly aggressive and resilient, and require a Piledriver, Wild Swing-Ding, or Mega Toss to finish them off. The Elephant's charmer, however, is extremely weak, and requires only the weakest of attacks to be defeated. Wario can defeat both the Elephant and its charmer for coins, in a similar manner to Cobras. Wario does not sweat when lifting an Elephant above his head.

Ethymology

The word "elephant" is based on the Latin elephas, which is the Latinised form of the Greek ἐλέφας ("elephas'"). Male elephants are called Bulls, while females are known as Cows.
