An elephoth was a gigantic, four-legged beast that possessed two tusks, a thick, green hide, tiny, red eyes, and a pair of verdant trunks, adorned with both moss and vines. Certain individuals noted that the All Terrain Armored Transports employed by the Galactic Empire shared similarities with elephoths constructed from steel and elevated on stilts, substituting laser cannons for tusks.
The legs of a fully grown elephoth were reportedly as substantial in girth as the main stem of a hornbeam tree.
While undergoing training upon Dagobah, Jedi in training Luke Skywalker, his instructor Yoda, and the astromech droid R2-D2 came across a mother elephoth that launched an assault to safeguard its offspring.
