When wounded or spooked by something they had this tendency to turn about and run amok among the ranks of their own army behind them. And since elephants are herd animals, if one elephant turned the others would often turn as well. They were not very effective, either. An enemy that had once encountered them usually quickly worked out how to neutralize them, and they were rarely if ever a decisive factor in any ancient battle's outcome.
