The Behemoth-class Troop Transport[1], more colloquially known as the "Elephant"[2], is a heavy UNSC Marine Corps mobile command and search & recovery troop transport vehicle.
Introduction
Due to its primary function- delivering ground infantry- it is likely that the Elephant is the UNSC counterpart to the Covenant's Scarab, and is aesthetically similar to an MCV from Command & Conquer or a Jawa Sandcrawler.
Specifications
The Elephant appears to be a mobile base and repair vehicle. Twelve soldiers can ride in it and a Mongoose Respawns in its forward hold. It is armed with a forward M41 LAAG on the top right and a AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun on the mid left.[3] It is a three storied vehicle [4] with the bottom story, the respawn area that opens out into the rear cargo tray, the second story, a walkway around the cargo ramp and leads onto the driver's cabin then a small, elevated third story where the M41 LAAG is mounted. It features a crane, numerous firing ports and elevated positions for defending it.[5]. It shares the same track set-up as the Scorpion Tank, with a set of four tracked bogies along its chassis. Its chassis is as high as it is long, providing stability. An IGN video shows its top speed, driver's cabin and turrets. In multiplayer, it can respawn troops, and holds both the flag and the capture point for certain multiplayer maps on Capture The Flag mode.
