    I guess I misunderstood

    From the way I read the question it looks like you were asking as if a real armored vehicle's name was used in a Tolkein book. I didn't realize you are asking for the name of an armored vehicle which based on a mythological creature.

    So let me try again....

      I hope you are not thinking Paladin. Because the M109A6 Paladin was named for the retainers of Charlemagne.

      If not this can you give some kind of clue?

          Nope not Paladin (actually..I dont even know a Paladin in Tolkiens work..doesnt mean there isn't one). The Country of origin was already meantioned in this thread.

                Ah heck. Here's something easy. What was the most heavily armored version of the Sherman in WWII?

                          Gentlemen,

                          Are you 100% sure that the thing was named Olifant? If memory serves, it was Elefant.

                            Elefant was a German design, Olifant was a South African version of the centurion (and that is the one I am talking about).

                              Ah, yes.

                              The reason I didn't guess it is because it isn't named after a Tolkien creation.
                              Elephants are for some strange reason called Olifanten in both Dutch and Afrikaans.

                                Ah, I wondered about that.
