Oliphaunts were huge creatures, resembling oversized elephants originating from within the jungles of Far Harad, often used in battle by the Haradrim. To most cultures, the Oliphaunts were creatures of legend, as fabulous and fearsome as dragons, and to them were ascribed all kinds of strange powers. Oliphaunts resembled elephants, except they had six tusks instead of two: two were on the bottom jaw, two larger tusks were where an elephant's would be, and there were two smaller tusks above those. |
