It’s an alocasia. I have a couple, but not this kind, so hopefully someone else can advise on care and type. It likes humidity. They’re kinda challenging plants cause they don’t want to completely dry out, but they can also get root rot easily. They like to have plant food frequently, and they seem to like a lot of light. I have mine under grow lights. Mine are in pon in a semi-hydro set up. I used a YouTube video to figure out how to do it. Mine are currently doing really well with this set up.

Looks like an alocasia polly. They can be dramatic. Prone to spider mites so keep an eye on leaves for a silvery webbing. Don't panic if it loses all the leaves and looks dead. They can go dormant if the conditions are not perfect.
