A Heffalump is an elephant-like creature in the Winnie-the-Pooh stories by A. A. Milne. Heffalumps are mentioned, and only appear, in Pooh and Piglet's dreams in Winnie-the-Pooh (1926), and are seen again in The House at Pooh Corner (1928). Physically, they resemble elephants; E. H. Shepard's illustration shows an Indian elephant. In Disney's Winnie the Pooh franchise, they are mentioned repeatedly, with several Heffalumps appearing featured in the animated television series The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1988–1991), followed by two animated films in 2005 featuring a Heffalump as a main character, ''Pooh's Heffalump Movie and Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie.
