Stampy

Stampy is a rogue elephant appearing in the episode "Bart Gets an Elephant." In that episode, Bart wins the elephant in a radio contest called "KBBL Wants to Give You Something Stupid." The listener was supposed to take $10,000 cash instead of the elephant (which was a gag prize), but Bart caused a major uproar when he was denied the elephant. KBBL management forced DJs Bill and Marty to give Bart the elephant or else they would be fired and replaced by a machine.

The elephant soon causes trouble (and a burning hole in the family wallet). A poacher and ivory dealer, Mr. Blackheart, offers to buy him, but the Simpsons decide to give him to a wildlife reserve after Stampy rescues Homer (and Barney Gumble) from drowning in a tar pit.

Stampy is alluded to in other episodes. Stampy also appeared in The Simpsons Movie. He was trying to break down the dome, and succeeds in cracking it. At Apu's wedding, Bart sees Apu riding an elephant. Bart comments "I wish I had an elephant." "You did," Lisa replies. "His name was Stampy. You loved him" to which Bart simply replies, "Oh yeah." Stampy also turns up in the episode "Large Marge," involved in a gimmick by Krusty the Klown. Stampy attacks a bear in the final scene of "The Fat and the Furriest."

Stampy enjoys putting people in his mouth and is especially fond of peanuts. He is also very aggressive against other elephants as seen when he is first brought to the wildlife reserve.
