On a realism note, if Oliphaunts/Mumakil were as big as is being discussed, I see no way they could survive in an actual desert. According to the "all-knowing" Google, a real-life elephant eats 200-800 punds of food a day (not to mention all the water they drink)! If Mumakil were, say, eight blocks tall (which is about twice the size of an African elephant) they would eat at least twice as much, (equaling about 400-1600 pounds of food) and it seems rather unlikely that they would be able to find that much, as well as the 100 or so gallons per day of water that they need. (All "facts" in this argument are from Google, and are taken with a grain of salt.)
