Gray Mammoth

Gray mammoths are a species of mammal that live in the frozen tundras of Quentoria. They are well known as some of the toughest land animals in the world that can survive year round in their freezing environment.

Basic Information

Biological Traits

Gray mammoths are the most common known mammoth species in Leitoria. Their thick gray fur sets them apart from other less common types of mammoths that live on the same continent.

Ecology and Habitats

Gray mammoths prefer wide open environments with plenty of resilient plants like the tundras of Quentoria. Their thick gray fur protects them from the freezing weather that could kill most other creatures.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Gray mammoths are herbivores that commonly eat grass, shrubs, and other plants. They are capable of digesting even extremely tough plants that would be impossible for humans to consume.

Additional Information

Uses, Products & Exploitation

Gray mammoths have been hunted for their meat, fur, and ivory tusks by the Kalani for centuries. Hunters often need to travel great distances to find the animals since they live on the plains far below their mountain homes. However, their immense size and valuable tusks make taking down a mammoth worth the journey.

A Symbol of Strength

To the Kalani, gray mammoths represent strength, endurance, age, and willpower. Kalani hunters will commonly wear cloaks made of mammoth hide as both protection from the cold and as symbols of their hunter status. Mammoth ivory is also carved into beads, but these pieces of jewelry are reserved only for tribal elders who have proven their strength because of their long life.
