These Elephants are huge pachyderms that appeared in the graphic novel 300, and its film adaptation and sequel, Rise of the Empire.
Overview[]
These animals appeared to be quite similar to normal elephants, although they were oversized. They were used as transportations and war mounts for the Persians during the Battle of Thermopylae.
Notes[]
- The elephants were never used by the Persians during the battle in real life.
- They were oversized in the films and the comic book, while the real ones were little smaller.
