So the trope here is "elephants depicted in a malevolent fashion". I'm not seeing malevolence, or even much in the way of unpleasantness.

To start with, here's two examples that do a better job of it:

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

I'd also recommend Mammoth Mogul from the Sonic the Hedgehog comics.

But of the ones shown, 1.1 gets my vote for the red eyes.

I'm leaning more towards 1.1.

1.1.

The red eyes sell it for me.

Either one would be good, so sure - 1.1.

1.1, thanks to the red eyes and being night-vision friendly.

I prefer 1.1. Less used work, black coloration with red eyes and evil expression are more illustrative than well-dressed and cocky (at least to me).

[up] That seems to be from Ben 10, the original series that is.

More specifically, it's the episode where Dr. Animo makes his debut and tries to resurrect prehistoric creatures with his device, including a T. rex and a mammoth.

1.1's in and tagged, and the old pic and other options are on the Image Links page. Caption?

Where's a mouse when you need it?

Perhaps mammoths should be left extinct.

Or in this case, a cruel Mammoth.

I like 20.2. I understood 20.1, but it was just ever so slightly obscure enough that I didn't get it instantly.
