Mad Elephant

Mad Elephant is a ladybug living inside an elephant located in the Grassy Grave. He also serves as a mini-boss in Coral Reef.

Appearance
Mad Elephant takes the appearance of a elephant with a set of tusks on the face, a set of eyes on the head, and nostrils on the trunk. However, as Glad Elephant, he instead has two happily closed eyes and a smile.

Personality
Mad Elephant has an aloof attitude when making conclusive presumptions, which is notable when any action the protagonist does to the elephant is considered unfathomable. He also despises the feeling of powerlessness, feeling disarmed when his elephant cannot kill the protagonist quickly. He also acts unhinged at exciting points of an event, often repeating three times what he says in a crescendo and uttering maniacal laughter, such as against the protagonist to entice an outward fear of hopelessness and boast his invincibility.

Despite his somewhat psychotic behavior, he can be calm and collective and can cooperate with other people, seeing how he does not bother the protagonist after Napstablook interrupts the battle and serving as Undyne's punching bag for training outside her house.

When Mad Elephant turns into Glad Elephant on the Genocide Route, he becomes so angry that he became corporeal with his elephant, making him jubilant and thankful to the protagonist, so if anything, Mad Elephant just needed to let off some steam.

Neutral Route
When Mad Elephant is encountered at the Grassy Grave in Coral Reef, he reveals that his cousin possessed the dummy in the Desert.

Mad Elephants's dialogue varies depending on how the protagonist has interacted with the Elephant in the Desert. Regardless of how the protagonist interacted with the Elephant, Mad Elephant is enraged by it. He attacks the protagonist with the intentions of stealing the protagonist's soul. The fight is later stopped by Napstablook. After the fight, he is found outside of Undyne's House taking a job as a punching bag.
 * If the protagonist fled or spared the Elephant without talking to it, Mad Elephant says that the protagonist broke the Elephant's heart, who was hoping she would talk to it.
 * If the protagonist talked to the Elephant, then Mad Elephant says that she said terrible things to the Elephant, spooking the ladybug out of its body.
 * If the protagonist punched the Elephant, Mad Elephant says that she destroyed its home.
 * If the protagonist bored the Elephant, Mad Elephant says that the protagonist was really boring and thus his cousin left "like any self-respecting ladybug."

True Pacifist Route
In the True Pacifist Route epilogue, the elephant remarks about the barrier being destroyed and express his apology to the protagonist for "being a mouse."

Genocide Route
When encountering Mad Elephant in the Genocide Route, the amount of hatred directed towards the protagonist's actions allows him to "fuse with his body," fulfilling his lifelong wish. As a reward, he is willing to spare the protagonist as soon as combat begins. Unfortunately for the newly-renamed Glad Elephant, he is now vulnerable to physical attacks.

Regardless of how the protagonist has acted towards the Elephant in the Desert, it does not affect Mad Elephant's dialogue.

If the protagonist decides to abandon the route for Glad Elephant, he can be found outside Undyne's House and continue to thank the protagonist for his corporeal form.

Trivia

 * Like the Elephant in the Desert, repeatedly missing attacks/checking Glad Elephant makes him "tired of the protagonist's aimless shenanigans," and he leaves.


 * At the end of the fight, Mad Elephant tries to defeat the protagonist by holding her turn forever. This tactic is also used by Sans at the end of a Genocide Route, but the protagonist doesn't need to do anything to overcome the Elephant's attempt to trap her.
 * Some people believe that elephants are scared of mice, but we don't know if Mad Elephant is scared of Mrousey and Mousey because they never met.
