Nicon.

>Another of the elephants already in the town, called Nicon, striving to take up his rider, who, after many wounds received, was fallen off his back, bore forward upon those that were retreating, and, thrusting upon friends as well as enemies, tumbled them all confusedly upon one another, till having found the body, and taken it up with his trunk, he carried it on his tusks, and, returning in a fury, trod down all before him. _________________________ **tl;dr:** During battle, one of Pyrrhus’s war elephants loses its rider. It becomes enraged and storms through the ranks, killing enemies as well as allies, until it finds the body of its deceased master. It picks up the body with its trunk and charges back to the allied lines. _________________________ **Source:** Plutarch, John Dryden, and Arthur Hugh Clough. "Pyrrhus." *Plutarch's Lives*.
