Cyclolyphant

Cyclolyphant (一つ目ぞう, Hitotsume-zō) is an animal resembling an elephant, whose body is found in the path leading from Mushroom Forest to the Haunted House.

Characteristics
Cyclolyphant is a small, cerulean colored mammal; just about the size of the protagonist. It has a concave back, large ears that flap, and short legs. Of its facial features, it has a long trunk with two white tusks on either side and a single, black eye in the middle. In Kurashima's illustration, the iris is red.

Hint
Cyclophant can only fly for short periods, but it likes to do so every so often. Those moments may be vital.

Trivia

 * It's possible that Cyclolyphant's design was inspired by the nasal orifice in the middle of an elephant's skull, as it commonly gives one the impression of one large eye socket. It's also said that Pleistocene dwarf elephant skulls bore the origin of Cyclopes.
 * Cyclolyphant's Japanese name, "Hitotsume-zō", translates literally as, "One-eyed Elephant". This may also be related to "Hitotsume-kozō", a spirit of Japanese folklore (known as "yōkai"), but the similarities begin and end at the names.
