Elephants were creatures only mentioned fleetingly. Gandalf does mention them,[1] so it is possible that they shared the wide burning plains of the Harad with what would be their giant relatives, the Mûmakil.

In Quenya, the word for "elephant" is andamunda. The Noldorin cognate of the same meaning is andabon or annabon.[2]

Portrayal in adaptations

1982-97: Middle-earth Role Playing:

Andamundar (suggested plural form of Andamunda) are described as "the smaller and more numerous cousin of the famous Mûmak".[3]
