The copperajah (Elephas pokevus) is a species of large elephant that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii due to demands for real life Pokémon-like animals from Pokémon fans. However, they have been unintentionally released to India, Thailand, Vietnam, China, Japan, and North America after many copperajahs have escaped from zoos and safari parks after some of them have been closed (due to either natural disasters or due to bankruptcy), but copperajahs are not causing any known ecological impacts. The copperajah is a medium-sizec proboscid that usually grows to be around the size of a very large pig. It is a mixed-feeding herbivore that primarily feeds on grasses, leaves, barks, fruits, and aquatic plants. It is a social herd-dwelling animal, with adult females as well as young males and females living together, which are leaded by the matriarch (female leader), but bull male copperajahs live in mostly solitary lives unless it is breeding seasons, when males have musth and males find suitable females to mate with. The conservation status of the copperajah is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the copperajah's wide range.
