## Appearance

### Elephant

The default *"Season 2"* era Elephant is a large gray animal with darker, large floppy ears. It has a long trunk in front of its head and two creamy tusks surrounding it. The Elephant has a short tail ending in a tuft of black hair.

### Purchasable Skins

*The skins listed below are or have been accessible to buy in-game. Older versions or non-purchasable skins may be seen in the article's infobox and/or asset gallery.*

## Strategy

* In order to level up from Elephant, the player will need to use the "Trunk Hit" to consume prey and fend off predators.
* The Elephant is larger than most of its tier 14 equivalents – around the size of a tier 15 apex. This can be both an advantage for blockading prey, and a disadvantage if the surrounding terrain consists of small spaces.
* When hunting for prey, the player should do so in an area that is somewhat open, but has a few hills.
	+ Hippos and Ostriches will be the easiest tier 13 animals (and most XP-rich prey) to target, due to both being unable to climb on trees or hills. When the player is near either of those animals, they should use their ability to stun the Hippo/Ostrich, hitting them as many times as possible to reduce their Health Bar.
	+ Crocodiles, Rhinos and Lions also cannot use hills, and all except the latter cannot climb on trees. This makes these animals other potential food sources. However, the Special Abilities of each should be avoided, as they can stun the player, allowing the prey to escape if chased.
		- Almost all of the Elephant's main prey sources have the common factor of having terrain advantages. The Hippo, Crocodile and Rhino are all faster in water than the Elephant, and the Ostrich is faster on dry land. As such, the player should aim to force their prey into avoiding water sources (as the Ostrich, despite being faster on land, consequently loses water faster).
* Another alternative of gaining XP is to farm food sources/AI animals rather than killing other players. This method will take longer, but is easier to do.
	+ Option 1: Honey Bees from a Beehive. The "Trunk Hit" ability is extremely useful in farming them, as a single use of it can instantly kill Bees. Although eating Bees may take longer than eating other players, this method is reliable.
		- Take note of the amount of other players in the general area when using a Beehive. If there are lots of players, they could steal the Bees from the player.
		- Furthermore, the stings of the Honey Bee cause slowed movement, which can be detrimental to the player if a predator shows up.
		- Notably, the Elephant's Special Ability can also kill AI Animals in a single shot, namely Frogs and Ostrich Babies.
	+ Option 2: Melons, Cacti and Aloevera in the Desert. Since the Elephant is immune to debuff in the Desert, there is less danger of farming there. However, the player will need to watch their water bar, as it goes down faster in the Desert.
		- Once again, the Special Ability of the Elephant can be used to reduce the Health Bar of the food sources. This should be done on melons and cacti, as cacti can reduce the player's health bar if they have not consumed an Aloevera plant prior.
* Predator-wise, the player should be extremely cautious. The Elephant's size often works against it, and makes it an easy target for predators to bite and use abilities on.
	+ Land biome predators, the Dragon, T-REX and The Bigfoot, will often attempt to eat the player due to providing high XP. All aforementioned predators should be avoided at all costs, as their Special Abilities are harmful and effective.
	+ When a predator is chasing the player at a close distance, the "Trunk Hit" ability can be used defensively to knock the predator back and reduce its health. With a team of multiple Elephants (even just two), a predator could be killed by collective use of the "Trunk Hit".

## Trivia

* When old skins are activated, it has a purple color, the same shade as a Hippo.
* The Elephant is the only animal that, after the "*#GoldenAge*" update on December 23, 2019, can still damage food sources with its ability.
* If the food eaten with the Trunk Hit ability is one that normally gives water upon its consumption (such as Pear), it will not give water. Effect-giving foods like the Chili Pepper will also not give their normal effect.
	+ Oddly, if water drops are eaten in this way, they give 8 XP each and do not replenish the water bar.
* It is the only animal excluding the Mammoth to have a golden version of it with one of its body parts missing or broken.
