I mean, Elephants, but they have to exist as far as Syria. This si for the Byzantium mod, cuz we want to know if it's historical to include elephants, and to whom.
It's not historical to have any faction out side of Islamic Persian states to have elephant units. See the lion and elephant populations of Syria and the elephant and lion populations of north africa were all rendered extinct by 3 centruies of Roman rule. By the time even BI starts they were gone, exterminated by the Roman bloodlust in the arena. Persian states could get elephants trained for war from India, infact that's where the Sassanids in BI will get them from.
