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.
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.

Trivia
- If by some chance you do manage to flip over an Elephant, the usual "Hold RB to flip..." script dialog is replaced with "Hold RB to flip...wait, what? How did you do that?", referencing the fact that it is the biggest vehicle in the game and that it is unusual for it to be flipped.
- On the left hand side of the red team's Elephant there is a spray-paint graffiti that shows an Elephant with text underneath that reads "BEHEMOTH" and has a picture of a large, furry animal. On the blue team's elephant it says "LEVIATHAN"and has a picture of a blue, whale-like sea creature.
- The crane on the Elephant resembles the one that is on Tombstone.
- It has been stated that the Warthog can be stationed inside the hull of the Elephant.
- The Mongoose spawns in the bottom bay, known as the "Hull".
- The Elephant is capable of holding two Mongooses and two warthogs in the rear.
- The Elephant contains spawn points, and can be driven to differant areas for tactical reasons.
- A Banshee is capable of landing on the top railings of the Elephant with great care and skill.
- A Hornet is capable of landing on the top railings of the Elephant with great care and skill.
- The easiest way to flip an Elephant is to spawn a closed drop pod in the cockpit and throw down a grav lift right near it.
