This time it is a german ( heck, i do only german land units, have to switch to other civs ) anti-tank Panzerjager SdKfz 184, that is also called Ferdinand after the name of its designer. Later modifications of this machine got Elefant title by Hitler's order.
The unit has mechanized infantry animation so make sure you refer to its kfm file in artdefines_unit.xml . The model is relatavely simple, hence only 820 polygons used.

Looks good, but the name through me as well. I thought maybe nautil had branched into some elephant cavalry.

Looks good, these things were monsters agains armor but terrible against infantry. One little thing about the texture, it's insanely crisp (which is awesome), but the colors are a bit pastel. You might want to tone them down a bit. Still, awesome unit man.

Well, the German Army is always like a zoo: Tiger, Panther, Leopard, Gepard (cheetah), Nashorn (rhinoceros), Hummel (bumble bee), Brummbär (grumpy baer), Marder (marten), Wolf, Wiesel (weasel),...

Great Unit!!!
