Elephanko

Character

Elephanko is a Lemures and circus elephant trainer whom Hawk's Eye unleashes on the Sailor Guardians in a single Sailor Moon SuperS episode. She spends her fight chattering nonstop about her sister Pooko and her detested brother-in-law Gomumario before Super Sailor Moon finishes her off.

Appearance

Elephanko carries two very different looks. Most often she resembles a large circus balance sphere, the kind an elephant might perch atop. When pressed she unfurls a humanoid body dressed in an acrobat's costume. Her rounded shape doubles as a weapon, since she attacks chiefly by rolling into her foes.

Personality

She is a grating presence, forever losing her focus and rambling on well past the point of patience. Her feelings toward family run to extremes: she cannot stand her brother-in-law Gomumario, yet she adores her sister Pooko without reservation, going so far as to thank the Guardians for ending him.

History

While Hawk's Eye combs the dreams of Princess Rubina in search of Pegasus, Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon arrive to interfere, so he dispatches Elephanko alongside an elephant to hold them off. Ordered to strike, she instead launches into tales of Pooko and complaints about Gomumario. The elephant tramples her and cracks her head under its weight, then departs with Hawk's Eye through a portal. Left behind, she forces the two Guardians to tread across her until Tuxedo Mask hurls her into a wall. Sailor Chibi Moon summons Pegasus with Twinkle Yell, and as Elephanko rises in her humanoid shape, Super Sailor Moon destroys her with Moon Gorgeous Meditation. Notably, she is the rare foe whose assault a Tuxedo Mask rose never halted, and she even talked over one of his speeches.
