An "Oliphaunt" is a fictional creature from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, particularly known from the stories of The Lord of the Rings. It resembles a giant elephant and is often depicted as a massive, powerful beast used in battle. Oliphaunts are known for their size, strength, and the ability to carry large loads, including warriors and siege equipment. In Tolkien's works, Oliphaunts are primarily associated with the Haradrim, a group of people from the southern regions of Middle-earth. They are featured prominently in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, where they serve as formidable mounts for the Haradrim soldiers, showcasing their importance in the lore of Tolkien's universe.
