SAM: Blimey, would you look at that, Mister Frodo! It's a rare Easterling Oliphant! It's not often you see one of these, even in captivity. You see how the Easterlings have built a large tower on her back, harnessing its great strength and massive size for their own bennefit. Unfortunately there are few Oliphants left in the world, with most born being forced into wartime service and the lose of their lands due to deforrestation. Crickey, one's coming right by us!
Large Oliphant foot crashes beside Sam and Frodo. Sam jumps and hugs onto the beast's shin. He is then carried off with the Oliphant in another charge.
SAM: Isn't this great! The Oliphant is so powerful it doesn't even recognize me as a threat. So long as I don't do anything aggressive, she won't attack.
Arrows begin flying at the Easterlings.
SAM: It seems as though we're under attack. This helps to illustrate the wonderfully effective thickness of the Oliphant's skin. The arrows are just bouncing right off! If this were a natural predator she would just be able to bat them aside with her massive trunk. She's getting a bit grumpy now. Its alright, girl, its alright. Look at the way she's just trampling all of the panicking Easterlings! What a marvelous adaption! Just another illustration of what happens when man crosses nature.
At this point the oliphant uses its great trunk to grab sam and fling him 20 meters. Sam bounces a few times and then brushes himself off.
SAM: What a blast! Easterling Oliphant! Woo! After the break, Mister Frodo and I will show you the dangerous Gollum, and next week we'll journey deep into the heart of the Fangorn Forrest to track down one of my favorites, the endangered Entus giganticus, or "Tree Shepherd"!
