An "Elephant" or "Calling Station" is a player who is basically in many pots but plays with a lot more passiveness than aggressiveness. These players can be dangerous to your tournament stack because they always improve your late position, pot odds scenarios while generally ignoring their own position and not truly understanding the strength, or lack thereof of their own hole cards.
The players that lose most often to these elephants are Jackals, because Jackals like to bluff and elephants like to call. (See Phil Hellmuth's player guide). When these two profile types clash, a lot of marginal hands become huge pots and the results have a lot more to do with fortune than forethought.
If you see a player with a high WSD% and low or moderate WSDW% then beware - YOU MAY GET STEPPED ON BY AN ELEPHANT! Tournament Indicator poker calculator shows these numbers in the 7th and 8th columns in the profile grid, so take extra time to check them out a little closer and see if you can find an elephant all by yourself.
