A way cool beast that Jake and Finn wish for on an episode of Adventure Time. It looks like 2 conjoined elephants, with orange goggles on each face and golden shotguns for tusks. It also has rockets on it's feet and can shoot a purple beam out of its trunks. If anyone ever comes across one, and you are wondering how it is controlled, just remember; you don't control it, you must let it give you control. It will know if you are worthy to command him because he is psychic.
