Terraphant is an alien vehicle from the Micronauts series. Terraphant comes from the planet Visceros, which is also the homeworld of Membros.

Although a mechanical elephant, it has been described as half bull, half bulldozer in advertising.

Development

Ron Pringle's Micropola magazine shows a very different orange and green prototype Terraphant, which also contained the "glow-in-the-dark brain" feature used throughout the rest of the Aliens line.

According to Bryan Wilkinson on Facebook the colors of the black and purple Palisades Centaurus were modeled after the Terraphant. He said he sees that figure as manning the gunner turret on Terraphant.
