Mammoth

Mammoths are massive elephantine creatures and one of the largest animals in Skyrim. Many mammoth skeletons dot Skyrim's landscape, demonstrating their great range of habitation. There is even a mammoth version of the legendary 'elephant's graveyard.' There are many giant camps across Skyrim populated by giants and mammoths. Dead mammoths can also often be found outside of Orc strongholds.

Biology and behaviorEdit
Mammoths are very large beasts, several times the height of a man at the shoulder with shaggy coats of fur and four long, curved tusks. Mammoths are larger than their elephant cousins of southern Tamriel. They are generally found in small groups that are tended bygiants. They live in the giants' camps and are, presumably, an important source of food and, potentially, other resources for them.

LootEdit

 * Mammoth Snout
 * Mammoth Tusk
 * Random treasure

StrengthsEdit

 * When the mammoths are attacked in a camp, their herding giant rightfully gets angry and defends the mammoth.
 * They are deadly to low-level players when close, as they can deal lots of damage with one hit.
 * They have a lot of health and have a 33% resistance to frost damage.
 * Likely because of their size, Mammoths are immune to paralysis and cannot be frozen solid with Ice Form.
 * Even with all three words of the Unrelenting Force shout you can only stagger a Mammoth. It is impossible to actually make a Mammoth ragdoll.
 * Mammoths can charge at unaware players.

WeaknessesEdit

 * Mammoths will not enter water or cross a stream in pursuit of an enemy. To take advantage of this, lure a mammoth away from the herd with either archery or ranged magic and then run into a nearby lake or river. The mammoth will look on from the shore, allowing it to be attacked without retaliation. Giants also avoid water, offering the mammoth no protection.
 * Mammoths cannot climb well, climbing on a rock where they cannot follow allows the use of ranged attacks with impunity.
 * Mammoths are not the fastest, so ranged attacks will work when the Mammoth is trying to catch up to attack you.

SoulsEdit

 * Mammoth souls are one of the best sources of grand souls in Skyrim. Most grand souls can only be obtained by killing the toughest boss-level monsters, such as a Dragon Priest, Draugr Death Overlord, or a Draugr Deathlord archer.
