Elephant

An elephant was said to be a creature as large as a bantha, though without the bantha's tremendous looped horns. The shape of an elephant's head was similar to that of a Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft.

The term "white elephant" was sometimes used to describe an unwanted ornament.

Behind the scenes
An actual elephant never appears in any source, though is often mentioned when describing other objects in the galaxy, such as a bantha.

Siiruulian Phantele - the real name of Max Rebo, is obviously a play on "Cerulean Elephant".

Elephants from Earth were actually quite significant in the production of the Star Wars films. In A New Hope, an Asian elephant named Mardji played the bantha. The sound of a TIE fighter's engines were the mixed result of cars streaking past and the trumpeting cry of an elephant.

The movements of the AT-ATs seen in The Empire Strikes Back were based on footage of an elephant walking.

For The Phantom Menace, the design characteristics of the Multi-Troop Transport was based on a massive elephant.
