Woolly mammoths are large prehistoric creatures that are larger than their modern descendants, elephants. They are found in savage tundras and temperate grasslands, appearing in herds of 3-7, and are benign grazers that are immensely dangerous if provoked or agitated. While extinct in real life, their appearance is dependent on the settings chosen when creating a world. A young woolly mammoth is called a calf.

Woolly mammoths can be captured in cage traps and trained into exotic pets. Their large size and value multiplier make them a good choice for the textile industry, though they grow slowly and consume far more grass than all other shearable options. They, and the woolly rhinoceros, are the only prehistoric animals that can be sheared, and the only shearable animals that can be war trained. They are also the largest shearable creature overall. Woolly mammoths reach their full size after 5 years and become adults after 10 years.

Woolly mammoths may appear as exotic mounts in sieges.

Some dwarves like woolly mammoths for their tusks and wool.

Don't believe everything you read, and if you miss some of the references, don't worry. It was inevitable.


Woolly mammoths have been known to coexist peacefully with sloths and saber-toothed tigers, even going as far as to travel in packs together. They are remarkably protective of human children.

Despite a few dubious accounts suggesting otherwise, scholars have yet to find any credible evidence of giants herding woolly mammoths or farming them for cheese.
