	In the mid-1st century BCE, elephants were used by wealthy [[Egypt]]ians as transportation means, showing off their wealth, and as animals of war. The [[Medjay]] [[Bayek]] of [[Siwa]] encountered and killed several war elephants used by [[bandit]]s and [[Rome\|Romans]] across Egypt; [[Jumbe]] in the [[Herakleion Nome]], [[Surus]] in the [[Green Mountains]], [[Qetesh]] and [[Resheph]] in the [[Uab Nome]], and [[Herwennefer]] in the [[White Desert Oasis]].<ref name="ACO">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]''</ref>		In the mid-1st century BCE, elephants were used by wealthy [[Egypt]]ians as transportation means, showing off their wealth, and as animals of war.

	Bayek also faced ~~down~~ and killed two other war elephants during the [[Battle of the ~~Nile\|Battle]] of the [[~~Nile]] in 48 BCE, first while riding in a [[chariot]] with [[Julius Caesar]] to the Roman fleet, and the other as [[Pothinus]], [[Ptolemy XIII]]'s regent and a member of the [[Order of the Ancients]], rode ~~one~~ named [[Yugr Tn]] ~~during his fight against~~ Bayek ~~some days after~~ the ~~attack on [[Alexandria]]~~.<ref name="The Battle of the Nile">''Assassin's Creed: Origins'' – [[The Battle of the Nile]]</ref>		Bayek also faced and killed two other war elephants during the [[Battle of the Nile]] in 48 BCE, the first while riding in a [[chariot]] with [[Julius Caesar]] to the Roman fleet, and the other during his fight with [[Pothinus]], [[Ptolemy XIII]]'s regent and a member of the [[Order of the Ancients]], who rode an elephant named [[Yugr Tn]]. Despite its size, the creature fell to Bayek's blade, leaving its master vulnerable and allowing the Medjay to kill Pothinus.<ref name="The Battle of the Nile">''Assassin's Creed: Origins'' – [[The Battle of the Nile]]</ref>

	In 754 CE, a troupe of elephants and acrobatic dancers made up part of a parade in celebration of the annual [[Flower Banquet]] held in the market place of [[Chang'an]], [[China]].<ref ~~name=""~~>''[[Assassin's Creed: Dynasty]]'' – [[The Flower Banquet (Part 2)]]</ref>		In 754 CE, a troupe of elephants and acrobatic dancers made up part of a parade in celebration of the annual [[Flower Banquet]] held in the market place of [[Chang'an]], [[China]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Dynasty]]'' – [[The Flower Banquet (Part 2)]]</ref>

	In 1841, elephants were adorned and kept in the gardens of [[Ranjit Singh]]'s [[Ranjit Singh's summer palace\|summer palace]] in [[Amritsar~~]], [[India~~]]. ~~Infiltrating~~ the palace, the [[Assassins\|Assassin]] [[Arbaaz Mir]] took advantage of the ~~elephants~~' size ~~in order~~ to hide from the [[Soldier\|guards]].<ref ~~name="ACCI"~~>''[[Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India]]'' – [[The Assassin's Heart]]</ref> ~~They~~ were also used by ~~[[soldier]]s~~ in the [[United Kingdom\|British]] [[British Army\|army]] under the employ of the [[East India Company]], but were prone to easily spooking and ~~wrecking~~ havoc due to the army carelessly firing mortars around ~~the creatures~~ in failed ~~attempts~~ to kill Arbaaz.<ref>''Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India'' – [[The Escape (India)\|The Escape]]</ref>		During his reign in the early 9th century, the [[Abbasid Caliphate\|Abbasid]] [[caliph]] [[Harun al-Rashid]] sent several gifts to [[Carolingian Empire\|Emperor]] [[Charlemagne]]'s court in [[Francia]], one of which was an elephant named {{Wiki\|Abul-Abbas}}.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]]'' – [[Database: Greeks Bearing Gifts]]</ref>

			In 1725, during their expedition to [[Angkor]] to access the [[Forgotten Temple (Isu)\|Forgotten Temple]] and retrieve its [[Lotus disk\|artifact]], the [[Qing dynasty\|Qing]] merchant [[Lee Huiyin\|Madam Lee]] and the [[Chinese Brotherhood of Assassins\|Chinese Assassins]]' [[Mentor]] [[Xiao Han]] rode elephants.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 115\|Episode 115]]</ref> Xiao Han's elephant was later struck and killed by [[cannon]] fire from the [[East India Company]],<ref name="FT 125">''Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 125\|Episode 125]]</ref> while Madam Lee notably used hers to knock down a large stone [[Guardians of the Forgotten Temple\|guardian]] they encountered.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 128\|Episode 128]]</ref> Several of the temple guardians also took the form of elephants, but despite their imposing size and strength, they were easily destroyed by Xiao Han using the power of the [[Crescent amulet\|artifact]] in his possession.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 120\|Episode 120]]</ref>

			In 1841, elephants were adorned and kept in the gardens of Maharaja [[Ranjit Singh]]'s [[Ranjit Singh's summer palace\|summer palace]] in [[Amritsar]]. While infiltrating the palace, the [[Indian Brotherhood of Assassins\|Indian Assassin]] [[Arbaaz Mir]] took advantage of the animals' size to hide from the [[Soldier\|guards]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India]]'' – [[The Assassin's Heart]]</ref> Elephants were also used by soldiers in the [[United Kingdom\|British]] [[British Army\|army]] under the employ of the East India Company, but were prone to easily spooking and wreaking havoc due to the army carelessly firing mortars around them in a failed attempt to kill Arbaaz.<ref>''Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India'' – [[The Escape (India)\|The Escape]]</ref>

			In 2023, when [[Abstergo Industries]]' task force, [[Sigma Team]], ventured to the Forgotten Temple in the hopes of seizing control of the complex for the [[Templars]], their {{Wiki\|Humvee}} was turned into an elephant by the temple's time-altering powers. After this elephant was struck by cannon fire, similarly to the one ridden by Xiao Han three centuries prior, it turned back into a Humvee.<ref name="FT 125"/>
