Trunk
Find the stitch in the center of the body where you want the trunk to be. Insert the crochet needle into the stitch diagonally. Use a bit of yarn about a foot long. Fold it in half. Pull the center part through as if to make fringe, but instead of pulling the yarn all the way through, use the loop as the first stitch in a chain. Chain stitch 5 more times with this doubled yarn. Pull the end through and trim.
