Donating to the museum
As with all insects in the Animal Crossing series, the Horned Elephant can be donated to the Museum followed by a small talk by Blathers, the curator.
In Wild World
"I wonder what elephant beetles were called before there were elephants? No, wait, I don't wonder! I don't even care! Hoo hoo! Well, moving on..."
In City Folk
"True to its namesake, the elephant beetle is among the heaviest of all the dynastid beetles. As you might imagine, with parents that big, the babies are also accordingly huge. About the size of your fist! Such foulness! Just think of those monstrous larvae! The horror of it all!"
The Elephant Beetle can be found on the middle tier of the insect section, located on a palm tree next to the Tarantula and Scorpion, in the same section housing the rafflesia.
In New Leaf
After donation, an information board in the insect exhibit will display a description of the Horned Elephant.
"Horned elephants are some of the heaviest dynastid beetles in the world. The thin yellow hair that covers their bodies makes them rather attractive to mates and collectors. Their horns resemble an elephant raising its trunk, which is how they got their name. They're already big in their larval stage, but by their pupal stage, they are the size of a person's hand."
In New Horizons
When donating to the museum, Blathers will say the following:
"The horned elephant beetle certainly lives up to its namesake. Not only does the horn on its head resemble the trunk of an elephant...It is also one of the heaviest beetles in the world! Size aside, allow me to reveal the real reason I find horned elephant beetles so repugnant... Their back are covered in a fine coat of hair! Hirsute beetles! Hoot! The horror!
