'''Pygmy mammoths''' (mammuthus exilis) are extinct elephant-like mammals from the Cenozoic era. They live in [[temperate]] [[grassland]] and [[shrubland]] in groups of 3 to 7 animals. They usually stick to savage areas, but [[World_generation#Real_world_extinct_creatures|world generation]] options can make them appear in wilderness, already domesticated, or completely extinct. They are the smallest [[elephant]]-like creature, barely bigger than [[water buffalo]]. Wild pygmy mammoths are peaceful grazers, but if cornered, they can kick with their front feet and gore with their blunt tusks.<br />
<br />
When domesticated or tamed, pygmy mammoths can be [[Animal_trainer#Train_a_war_animal|trained for war]]. They can be pack animals for [[Trading|traders]], carrying twice the load of normal pack animals. They require a large [[Pasture|pasture]] to survive, so a war pygmy mammoth assigned to a Dwarf that works indoors may starve. They grow to full size in 5 years, but only become adults at 10 years. They can live for 50 to 70 years.<br />
<br />
All their products are worth 4x the normal amount. Despite their slow growth, they produce more meat at 2 years old than most standard domestic animals. They do not produce milk, despite being mammals. "pygmy mammoth head hair" (only obtainable from by a [[Butcher]]) can be [[Spinner|spun]] into 2 pygmy mammoth hair thread at a [[Farmer's workshop]], but this thread cannot be woven into cloth. It's only useful for [[Suturer|suturing wounds]]. Pygmy mammoth skin can be [[Tanner|tanned]] into 3x pygmy mammoth leather at a [[Tanner's shop]].<br />
<br />
Some Dwarves like Pygmy Mammoths for their ''size'' and ''hairy heads''.<br />
