I am the one hiding under your BED, teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing RED!

Elphaorpha (エルファオルファ Erufaorufa, aka Elephorca<ref>The name "Elephorca" comes from Beast Wars Sourcebook, despite a stated policy to not diverge from the names of Japanese-original characters. Just why he was renamed when far more ridonkulous names like "Scissor Boy" that can't even be written off as "an attempt at cool-sounding nonsense" remained is unknown, but it's likely due to "Elephorca" having been the spelling Ben Yee used on his website.</ref>) is the field commander of the Blentrons as well as their system of transportation. With a single swipe of his fist he can shatter reality itself and travel through time and space in an artificial black hole. As a warrior of Unicron all senses of justice and sympathy have been drained from his body, leaving him an emotionless killing machine. The tusks on his shoulders are his pride and his symbol. Should anybody even so much as touch them he erupts in a chaotic fury, obliterating the opposition. He is possibly the most powerful Blentron, able to grow to enormous sizes at will, and easily the most feared.

Beast Wars Neo manga

Elphaorpha, like the other Blentrons, was produced in mass numbers by Unicron in his "Black Ball" form, and were sent out to seek Angolmois capsules. One of the planets they attacked was Jörmungandr, where they exterminated most of the population; an Elphaorpha personally killed Cohrada's father. However, the Blentrons were unable to find the Angolmois capsule there.

When Magmatron's troops dwindled, the Black Ball, who was manipulating the Maximals and the Predacons to gather the Angolmois, offered its Blentrons as replacements. A Battle Fought Alone With the Blentrons, Magmatron set up a trap at an amphitheater floating in Cybertron orbit for the Maximals. When the Maximals arrived, Cohrada recognized the murderers of his race and leapt to action, only to be impaled by an Elphaorpha. With the Elphaorphas threatening the lives of his underlings, Big Convoy was forced to give up the Angolmois capusles. Subsequently, a Rartorata backstabbed Magmatron, revealing the Blentrons' true allegiance to Unicron! When six capsules were consumed by the Black Ball, Unicron revealed himself, but admitted that he was incomplete without the Angolmois energy found in both Magmatron and Big Convoy. The Blentrons were sicced on the two, but were all defeated by Big Convoy and Magmatron on their way to attack Unicron himself. Double Cross

After Unicron acquired the Angolmois he needed from Magmatron and obtained Cybertron as a new body, he was lured to the Georgian system by the Maximals. There, Unicron was trapped by crowded and exploding planets. The Maximals picked the opportunity to attack, but Unicron spat out another Blentron army to confront the Maximals. They were held at bay by the Maximals, allowing Big Convoy to make the final strike on Unicron. Return to Zero

Who will be eaten first?

Elephorca was the dimmest of all the Blendtrons and was basically a weapon of mass destruction for Unicron to point and fire. Once, he was a loyal, though dimwitted Maximal colony construction bot. Unicron reshaped him into an absolute monster after foreseeing a future need for a really big "stick with a nail in it". Beast Wars Sourcebook #2

Elephorca, with Drancron and Rartorata, brought Angolmois capsules to Shokaract on the orders of Unicron, priming him as a "vessel". The Ascending #1 The Ascending #2 Eventually, Shokaract got tired of the Blendtrons and left, prompting Drancron and Elephorca to be baffled about why Shokaract wasn't submissive to the will of Unicron. The Ascending #3

Shortly thereafter, the Blendtrons went to Earth to deal with the Maximals and Predacons there. There, Elephorca was mauled to death by an Angolmois-infected Razorbeast. The Ascending #4

  • Elphaorpha (Deluxe Blentron, 1999)
Elphaorpha is a redeco of the Beast Wars Deluxe Fuzor Torca, transforming into a beast mode that combines an orca and an elephant. Moving his dorsal fin back and forth while still plugged into his back makes his tusks pinch in and out a little bit. The dorsal piece also contains a pump-bladder that squirts water out of his blowhole; this piece becomes a hand-held cannon in robot mode.
