Elephant

Note that these stats are for non-tusked Elephants

The **Elephant** is a large neutral mob.

## Spawning

Elephants spawn in the following biomes:

* Savanna
* Watering Hole

## Appearance

Elephants are very large , being almost the height of 3 blocks. They are almost entirely grey, with their most notable features being their trunk, big floppy ears, and tusks, a feature not all Elephants possess. Tusked Elephants are stronger and larger than non-tusked Elephants.

## Behavior

Elephants are neutral, and spawn in herds. Their diet mainly consists of leaves, which they grab and eat with their long trunks. To reach high leaves, Elephants can stand on their hind legs briefly. Elephants have multiple attacks. They can be attracted with Acacia Blossoms.

### Stomp

One of the Elephant's attacks is its stomp, in which it will rear up on its hind legs and deliver a powerful crush on the target.

**The stomp deals: 10 attack damage.**

### Trunk Swing

The second attack Elephants can perform is a powerful trunk swing.

**The trunk swing deals: 10 attack damage.**

### Tusked Elephants

Tusked Elephants are Elephant which possess two tusks. Typically, there are 1 or 2 tusked Elephants within an Elephant herd which greatly contribute to protection. Tusked Elephants are not only bigger, but stronger than non-tusked Elephants. Tusked Elephants can do every attack non-tusked Elephants can, but diverge in that they have an extra attack: the charge.

#### Tusked Elephants:

* **Have 80 health points.**
* **Deal 15 attack damage.**

### Charge

Tusked Elephants exclusively can perform a charge attack, in which they ready for a brief second, before charging and dealing massive damage to a target. However, there is a cooldown after a charge is performed.

**The charge deals: 36 attack damage.**

### Trader Elephant

Very rarely, Trader Elephants, along with their Wandering Trader owners, can be found spawning in 'hot biomes' (Savannas, Badlands, and Deserts). These Elephants are carpeted with a blue carpet, and are also chested. These chests may contain:

* Sand
* Cobweb
* Maggot
* Cave Centipede Leg
* Crimson Mosquito Larva
* Shark Tooth
* Cockroach Wing Fragment
* Stick
* Acacia Blossom
* Banana
* Crocodile Scute
* Book
* Emerald

## Taming

Elephants can be tamed with Acacia Blossoms, which rarely drop from harvested Acacia Leaves. Only non-tusked adults can be tamed. However, baby tusked Elephants can be tamed, meaning it is by no means impossible to get a tamed Elephant. Baby tamed Tusked elephants are slightly larger than baby non-tusked Elephants. Tamed Elephants will defend their owner, however they do not follow them. Tamed Elephants can be equipped with Carpets (which can be sheared off), as well as chests for a large, 9x6 storage space. Elephants can be ridden, like other mounts, by right-clicking on them.

Tamed tusked Elephants can be fed Wheat to perform a charge attack. As normally, it also has a cooldown on its use.

### Breeding

Two tamed Elephants can be bred with Acacia Blossoms.
