'''Pak Elephant Derm''' is an [[elephant]]-like creature that first appears in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. Their shortened name, '''Pak E. Derm''', is a pun on the word ''[[wiktionary:pachyderm#Noun|pachyderm]]'', a term which is no longer in use; it refers to an obsolete [[wikipedia:Pachydermata|taxonomic order of animals]] in biology that included elephants, whence Pak E. Derms' appearance was inspired.
