Mumaki or Oliphants, are huge creatures from the John Ronald Reuel Tolkiens world. They look like elephants, but much bigger and stronger, also they have a sharp tusks which they use like a weapon.
Tolkien wrote that nowadays elephants are poor shadow of Middle Earth Oliphants size and grandeur. In the lord of the rings, the Harad warriors were on the dark side, they use Oliphants like a sumpter to carry heavy weights.
Also Oliphants were used in battle, on their backs were constructed towers with archers and the skin of the creatures was very thick, the only way to kill them is to get an arrow in their eyes. The horses was very afraid of Oliphants, so it used against cavalry.
I hope it was interesting.
