History
Mammothodon are nearly as old as the frigid taiga and artic they call home. Thousands of years ago they trekked the land in great numbers, with herds numbering over one hundred individuals commonly seen. On the continent of Thriskarin, they existed as far south as Mogun, though their range gradually receded at the end of the continent's great ice age. Too many folks they exist as a legend, as they have not been seen anywhere close to civilized society in hundreds of years.
Society
Mammothodon live in tribal units called herds, lead by a female leader, or matriarch, which is typically the oldest and wisest female in the group. Herds commonly number between ten and twenty individuals but it is not uncommon to see gatherings of hundreds of Mammothodon in the spring thaw. Their society is based on nomadic Clanhood: settling in place to place for some period of time, and then migrating to another one. That is one of the reasons most people do not encounter Mammothodons on journeys, besides that is not impossible. Most clans don't like strangers, as they are not willing to trust so easily. One of the greatest fears of their kind are hunters who keep searching for these herds to collect their expensive ivory to sell. Besides the herds and clan society, it is usual to see solitary Mammothodons, normally male ones, that for some reason left their lands and clans to live alone.
