Heffalump
A Heffalump is a type of fictional elephant in the Winnie the Pooh stories by A. A. Milne. Heffalumps are mentioned, but never appear, in ''Winnie-the-Pooh'' (1926) and ''The House at Pooh Corner'' (1928). Physically, they resemble elephants; Shepard's illustration shows an Indian Elephant. They are later featured in the animated television series ''The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh'' (1988–1991), followed by two animated films in 2005, ''Pooh's Heffalump Movie'' and ''Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie''.
== Origins ==
Although the fifth chapter of ''Winnie-the-Pooh'' is titled ''In Which Piglet Meets a Heffalump'', Piglet only actually meets a Heffalump in his imagination. In this chapter, Pooh and Piglet attempt bravely to capture a heffalump in a clever trap; however, no heffalumps are ever caught, and indeed they never meet a heffalump in the course of the books. The sole appearance of heffalumps in the books is imagined, as Pooh tries to put himself to sleep:
:"()e tried counting Heffalumps () every Heffalump that he counted was making straight for a pot of Pooh's honey ... () when the five hundred and eighty-seventh Heffalump was licking its jaws, and saying to itself, 'Very good honey this, I don't know when I've tasted better', Pooh could bear it no longer."
In the third chapter of ''The House at Pooh Corner'', Pooh and Piglet fall into a similar trap (it is implied it was the same trap) and think that it was made by a Heffalump to catch them. Pooh and Piglet rehearse the conversation they'll have when the Heffalump comes, but Pooh falls asleep and when Piglet hears a voice, he panics and says the wrong thing. He is mortified when the voice turns out to be that of Christopher Robin.
