Actually since the scarab is part of the item sandbox in Halo 3 it is much more possible to pilot it by modding. In Halo 2 the scarab was more like a moving part of the level, like the giant windmill on zanzibar and last resort.--[[User:0nyx Sp1k3r|0nyx Sp1k3r]] 20:52, 8 January 2008 (UTC) | |||

I guess so. Although it's kind of weird that it says that, seeing how it only has one detachable turret by default. [[User:Zeldafanjtl|Zeldafanjtl]] 16:09, 3 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
== Another way to make the Elephant fly (forge only) == | |||
The elephant can fly another way but, only in forge. When playing as a Monitor, jam a banshee or hornet into either one of the elephants. Then, pick up the hornet/banshee while its still jammed in. Then, through luck you will pick up the elephant as well. I tried it but, only got it afew meters off the ground because of a blackout but you could probably make it go higher. | |||

All I did was I went to Forge (Sandtrap), I took all of the Covenant batteries and Fusion Coils, put them into a big pile, drove the Elephant on to them, and blew them up. I have a video and screenshot of it in my fileshare. My gamertag is SilentKillerx07. | |||

==Antigraviphant?== | |||
I piled heaps of explosive items while trying to make a flying elephant, then I decided to add some drop pods, after I put about five on the contents of the elephant flew upwards in the air but when I bumped against one of them it moved off in that direction, like anigravity.

== Best Story of the Elephant == | |||
What's the best thing that's ever happened to you, good or bad, in the elephant in Multi-player? | |||
Once, I got around 20-25 wheelmans in an elephant, but I have a better story. | |||
Capture the Flag - One flag, one elephant. Team has to come to our base, take the flag, run back and plant it at their base's elephant. Unfortunately, this round it's the enemies' elephant. I grab a Trip Mine, 2 plasma grenades and a rocket launcher, and without any vehicle, run to the other side of the map and hop in their elephant. I find no enemy resistance. | |||
I drive the elephant slowly and somehow unnoticed around one side of the map (Pelican side) No allies come to help or spawn, no enemies even come close to me. | |||
I finally park my elephant behind our base, and at that moment, it says 'Flag Taken'. I then realize my mistake, seeing as the enemy has to only walk out of the underground base and walk a few feet to end the game. | |||
But they don't. They go out another exit, to our vehicle spawn, and get in a warthog, driving back to their base. I look out the cockpit with my Rocket Launcher scope and laugh. Around 1 minute left in the game. I overhear an enemy mic say 'Where's our flag point?'. It never occures to anyone that I had the elephant, but my mic wasn't working, so I couldn't tell my allies of my plan. Round ends, and we win the game. I look and see the person with my flag running around in circles, not knowing where his Elephant was.

==ODST Oliphant-JOTUN?== | |||
So I made it my mission today to find every AudioLog pertaining to Sadie's Story in ODST. I got to the part involving Sadie's discussion with Jonas about finding a way to cart him out of the city and saw that the superintendent displayed a VERY interesting picture of an Oliphant with the Jotun logo. So it can easily be deduced that the Oliphant is made by Jotun Heavy Engineering right? Makes sense to me. So can we agree to put that on the page? And what about the military grade Elephant?

Just think, a campain level where you and Noble Squad (or some marines) have to defend a '''destoyable''' elephant while traveling to another place on Reach, the elephant has its main Elephant gun, Two side turrets, (in halo 3 on forge i put 4 machine gun turrets on the elephant, two on the side, one above the cockpit, and one at the back of the elephant) | |||
and a mongoose or warthog that some sqaud members could scout ahead and then pull back and either take cover in the elephant or drive like an escort beside them. It would be one freakin awesome level! | |||

== Elephant in Spartan Assault == | |||
Okay, this page says the Elephant (M313) is in halo Spartan Assault. It may be from the image, but the actual ingame model is the M312 elephant from halo wars, aka the troop transport version. The two have distinctly different hull layouts. I think it should be reviewed and corrected, especially since the game is both on PC and xbox now. | |||

I think some 1 should ask some 1 you know that has halo 3 and then let us know or go on youtube and write in the comments part under some 1's vid of halo 3 and ask them all the things you wana know and we wana know about halo 3.
Fun with grunts.
I think that if you put the scorpion tank ON top then it could fit 2 warthogs and 2 mongooses, with a scorpion on top like it says in the article. Hehe. that would be AWSOME!!! PsycoThunder strikes!
hey guys the crane does not do a thing dis is grege.
Elephant in Campaign?Edit
I don't have Halo 3 yet, but is the Elephant featured in Campaign? Just a thought.

NO!Edit
It says its the counterpart to the scarrab? NO! It cant be, its not big enough! ti has no large guns, its too easy to board! NO WAY! --þ†öW讥 ^ (UNSC Fleetcom)(UNSC History)(UNSC Mision Log) 12:01, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
you know when you flip the elephant, it says "wait what, how did u do that?"
Imagine if you could drive that scarab in multiplayer mode and somebody flips its, imagine what funny things it could say:):):).
Actually since the scarab is part of the item sandbox in Halo 3 it is much more possible to pilot it by modding. In Halo 2 the scarab was more like a moving part of the level, like the giant windmill on zanzibar and last resort.--0nyx Sp1k3r 20:52, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Actually, Bungie might make the scarab a driveable vehicle in another multiplayer map pack. Just like in the next map pack they might make a pelican a driveable vehicle on cottonball. IM NOT JUST GUESSING! - PyschoThunder strikes!
We need a picture of the dashboardEdit
Could someone get on the ball and get a nice picture of the Elephant controls? --Metaridley 02:34, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
TurretsEdit
Should it be noted in the trivia section that the specifications panel on the bottom floor states that it has two detachable side turrets? 155.205.200.17 01:28, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
I guess so. Although it's kind of weird that it says that, seeing how it only has one detachable turret by default. Zeldafanjtl 16:09, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Another way to make the Elephant fly (forge only)Edit
The elephant can fly another way but, only in forge. When playing as a Monitor, jam a banshee or hornet into either one of the elephants. Then, pick up the hornet/banshee while its still jammed in. Then, through luck you will pick up the elephant as well. I tried it but, only got it afew meters off the ground because of a blackout but you could probably make it go higher.

There are TONS of ways to flip the elephant. I did it with trip mines before logging on here. It was cool with the trip mines. User: PyschoThunder strikes!
New TriviaEdit
Based on the overall look of the elephant, it incredibly resembles a Sandcrawler from Star Wars, i suggest we add it to the Trivia. QX100 08:20, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
It kinda does! Lol, theres where Bungie was inspired. - Cprl. Echo 1 image: SpecHarness.jpg | 28px High Resolution Poor Quality 20:11, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
I flipped the elephant!Edit
All I did was I went to Forge (Sandtrap), I took all of the Covenant batteries and Fusion Coils, put them into a big pile, drove the Elephant on to them, and blew them up. I have a video and screenshot of it in my fileshare. My gamertag is SilentKillerx07.
I made some instaspawn trip mines and went nuts on the side. Then i popped a frag in that mess and WHAM!!! This dude
Somethings WrongEdit
The page is messed up and everything is running together. I do not know how to fix this so could somebody?
Could the Elephant hold an AI?Edit
I think it seems plausible even though there is no evidence for it, but I want to hear other people's ideas before attaching it to my own fanon. --Necrosis103 20:52, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Antigraviphant?Edit
I piled heaps of explosive items while trying to make a flying elephant, then I decided to add some drop pods, after I put about five on the contents of the elephant flew upwards in the air but when I bumped against one of them it moved off in that direction, like anigravity. Unfortunately once the item leaves the area in which things can spawn on the elephants they come crashing back to earth, when my X-Box Live Gold is renewed I will upload a video of this and post a link here.
Behemoth/M312 DiscrepancyEdit
Which is the official term for the vehicle? --Lord of SPARTANsLOMI HQI here your criesMay your works be honorable
16:25, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
- Behemoth-class is probably the way it's called unofficially, while M312 is the official designation. Spirit of Fire 16:45, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
Best Story of the ElephantEdit
What's the best thing that's ever happened to you, good or bad, in the elephant in Multi-player? Once, I got around 20-25 wheelmans in an elephant, but I have a better story. Capture the Flag - One flag, one elephant. Team has to come to our base, take the flag, run back and plant it at their base's elephant. Unfortunately, this round it's the enemies' elephant. I grab a Trip Mine, 2 plasma grenades and a rocket launcher, and without any vehicle, run to the other side of the map and hop in their elephant. I find no enemy resistance. I drive the elephant slowly and somehow unnoticed around one side of the map (Pelican side) No allies come to help or spawn, no enemies even come close to me. I finally park my elephant behind our base, and at that moment, it says 'Flag Taken'. I then realize my mistake, seeing as the enemy has to only walk out of the underground base and walk a few feet to end the game. But they don't. They go out another exit, to our vehicle spawn, and get in a warthog, driving back to their base. I look out the cockpit with my Rocket Launcher scope and laugh. Around 1 minute left in the game. I overhear an enemy mic say 'Where's our flag point?'. It never occures to anyone that I had the elephant, but my mic wasn't working, so I couldn't tell my allies of my plan. Round ends, and we win the game. I look and see the person with my flag running around in circles, not knowing where his Elephant was. Moral: Never underestimate the slow. Adios, amigos! - José 15:50, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

WeightEdit
Can we get some info on the weight of this thing? I'm sure its in the old strategy guide.--Halofighter92 06:51, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
The Scorpion weighs 66 tons, so the elephant would be an easy 300 tons. —This unsigned comment was made by 173.88.7.28 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

ODST Oliphant-JOTUN?Edit
So I made it my mission today to find every AudioLog pertaining to Sadie's Story in ODST. I got to the part involving Sadie's discussion with Jonas about finding a way to cart him out of the city and saw that the superintendent displayed a VERY interesting picture of an Oliphant with the Jotun logo. So it can easily be deduced that the Oliphant is made by Jotun Heavy Engineering right? Makes sense to me. So can we agree to put that on the page? And what about the military grade Elephant? Do you think that applies as well?--Nerfherder1428 01:41, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
- You said Audio Log, so I came sniffing around ^_^. I suppose we could add it, as it does say that... perhaps a pic? Source: http://www.youtube.com/user/r3b3link#play/uploads/23/QWyza1ABsuM
- --KickButtUnggoy 01:58, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
- That image actually showcases the Elephant, not the Oliphant, so I think it can be safely assumed that the manufacturer of the M312 is indeed Jotun.--TDSpiral94 02:11, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
- Olifant is the Afrikaan saying of Elephant. They are the same thing. Source: Elephant "Olifant is an Afrikaan, as well as Archaic English word for Elephant" in Halo ODST section. --KickButtUnggoy 09:17, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
- While totally unrelated to JOTUN, but all to do with Oliphant, it should and must be noted that in the Lord of the Rings franchise, the "elephants" are called Olifants (with one 'f', not two) or Oliphaunt/Oliphant by the Halflings (the Hobbits), and are also referred to more specifically, as Mûmakil, or for short, Mûmak. Xamikaze330 17:58, 8 July 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330
- Not really relevant. As a South Afrikaner himself by birth and early childhood, Tolkien used the South African name for the creature because it would seem exotic to his English/American readers. -- Specops306 Autocrat Qur'a 'Morhek 18:20, 8 July 2011 (EDT)
gauss cannon?Edit
could the elephants warthog machine gun be replaced by a gauss turret?
I really think bungie (or 343i) should accually relise the elephant's capibillitys and use it in Halo Reach
Just think, a campain level where you and Noble Squad (or some marines) have to defend a destoyable elephant while traveling to another place on Reach, the elephant has its main Elephant gun, Two side turrets, (in halo 3 on forge i put 4 machine gun turrets on the elephant, two on the side, one above the cockpit, and one at the back of the elephant) and a mongoose or warthog that some sqaud members could scout ahead and then pull back and either take cover in the elephant or drive like an escort beside them. It would be one freakin awesome level!
even having part of a level shooting out of the back of a pelican would be fun.

M312 or M313?Edit
Right in front of me (IRL) is the Art of Halo 3 and the Elephant in the book is printed as M313 and not M312... is this a typo or has no one actually checked, ignored this and go along with what others said? - Sketchist 01:56, May 26, 2010 (UTC) how does this get down to the surface?
Elephant in Spartan AssaultEdit
Okay, this page says the Elephant (M313) is in halo Spartan Assault. It may be from the image, but the actual ingame model is the M312 elephant from halo wars, aka the troop transport version. The two have distinctly different hull layouts. I think it should be reviewed and corrected, especially since the game is both on PC and xbox now.
