- ―Short Round to Big Short Round[src]
Big Short Round was a baby elephant that in 1935 carried Short Round from Mayapore village to Pankot Palace.[1] Because of their bond, Short Round suspected that the elephant could be the reincarnated form of his deceased brother Chu.[2]
Big Short Round and his namesake went their separate ways at Pankot but were reunited after Short Round, Willie Scott and Indiana Jones returned to Mayapore with the kidnapped children.[1]
There during Scott and Jones' embrace, Big Short Round sprayed the pair with water from his trunk, much to Shorty's amusement.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
In LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures only two elephants are used by Indiana Jones and his companions to travel to Pankot Palace. In the last cutscene based on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Big Short Round is played by an adult elephant instead of a baby elephant.[3]
