The streets of Old Volantis are overrun with white dwarf elephants.[1]


A single dwarf elephant pulls an ornate cart called a hathay, which are similar to a Westerosi oxcart but far more decorative. The hide of the dwarf elephant which pulls Quentyn Martell's hathay is the colour of dirty snow.[2]

Tyrion espies a dwarf elephant whose hide is as white a bone. A dwarf elephant can emit a honking noise. The rump of the elephant makes as rolling motion as it walks. While held captive by Ser Jorah Mormont in the common room of the Merchant's House for half a heartbeat Tyrion thinks he glimpses Illyrio Mopatis but it turns out to be a white dwarf elephant passing the front door.[1]
