S'redit

"S'redit" are elephants. They are used by the Seanchan in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time books.

Description

Elephants are almost unknown in the Westlands, but they are used as war animals in Seanchan where they are known as s'redit. Valan Luca calls them giant boar-horses to make them more pronounceable and interesting.

There are three giant boar-horses in his circus:

Mer - the bull Sanit - the cow Nerin - the calf
