Enormous war-beasts from the far south of Middle-earth, used by the Haradrim as living siege engines in battle. Also known as Mumakil, they are vastly larger than any modern elephant, carrying war-towers on their backs and trampling enemy formations underfoot. Sam Gamgee sees his first Oliphaunt during the skirmish in Ithilien, fulfilling a childhood wish inspired by Hobbit legends of the southern lands.
