Elephant

* Standard
* Leader

**Elephants** are neutral mobs that can be found in Savanna biomes.

They can also be found if a Wandering Trader spawns in a hot biome as they will spawn riding an **Elephant**.

## Behavior

**Elephants** will spawn in herds, each herd is led by a Leader **Elephant**.

**Elephants** will fight back if the player attacks one and will attack by either goring the victim with their tusks, tossing them with their trunk or rearing up and crushing them. The Leaders can additionally charge at the target.

If one **Elephant** is attacked, the rest of the herd will come to its defence.

**Elephants** will also run away from Bees.

**Elephants** can often be seen tearing the Leaves off of trees so they can eat them.

### Trader Elephants

If a Wandering Trader spawns in a hot biome, they will ride an **Elephant** wearing a unique Carpet and a Chest containing loot.

The loot they contain is the following:

* Acacia Blossoms
* Animal Dictionaries
* Bananas
* Cave Centipede Legs
* Cobwebs
* Cockroach Wing Fragments
* Crimson Mosquito Larvae
* Crocodile Scutes
* Emeralds
* Emu Eggs
* Emu Feathers
* Maggots
* Sand
* Shark Teeth
* Sticks
* Tattered Tarantula Hawk Wings

### Taming

**Elephants** can be tamed by feeding them Acacia Blossoms. Keep in mind that only Standard and Baby **Elephants** can be tamed like this, to tame a Leader **Elephant**, it needs to be a baby first. It is also important to know that since **Elephants** are large mobs, they cannot fit through small block spaces, so it is recommended not to build a small space for a tamed **Elephant** to go through.

Tamed **Elephants** can be ridden.

If its owner is attacked or if its owner attacks something then the **Elephant** will aid its owner in a fight.

Carpets of any color can be placed on a tamed **Elephant** for decoration.

Chests can be placed on an **Elephant** for storage.

To change the color of the Carpet, apply a new Carpet of the player's chosen color as using Dye doesn't work.

These can be removed with Shears.

Tamed Leader **Elephants** can be fed Wheat while being ridden to make them do their charge attack. This charge attack is temporary, and will only last a few seconds before the **Elephant** goes back to normal speed again.

### Breeding

Tamed **Elephants** can be bred by feeding them Acacia Blossoms.

Feeding two tamed **Elephants** some Acacia Blossoms causes them to enter love mode and eventually one of the **Elephants** will spawn a baby **Elephant**.
