The Elephant Slug is an animal slug used in Metal Slug 3.

Information

Another animal slug, the elephant is very slow and is unable to jump, but it gives the rider a high profile, which is some protection. It is only equipped with a 12.6mm Vulcan, but it gets additional firepower by eating chili peppers or a car battery, after which the elephant becomes able to breathe fire or to shoot lightning from its proboscis. The fire wave will cover a smaller range, but will net more points than the lightning.

The Elephant Slug appears at the second stage, when you break the wall to the "Icemen" cave. Once the Elephant Slug is unearthed from the ice, you can see the Sasquatch corpse and zombies from outside will storm the cavern. If the player is transformed into a zombie while mounting the Elephant Slug, he or she will not be able to mount it again because the zombie form's jump is too short for it to reach the Elephant Slug's saddle. Players are therefore advised to stay human form for as long as possible if they want to keep this Slug.

By eating various items you gain additional attacks.

MSD/MSA Quote: "Slow moving, but has a flamethrower super attack to eliminate many enemies at once."

MSD/MSA Quote: "This Elephant Slug has swallowed an electric battery. (MSD) The Electric Shock from its nose pierces through the enemies. / (MSA) As a distinct feature, the status improves greatly when evolved."
