These larger, more temperamental cousins of the elephant roam subarctic and arctic lands. The great strength and endurance of these tremendous herbivores make them highly desirable to giants, who capture and tame them for use as mounts and beasts of burden.
Suspicious and unfriendly by nature, grizzly mastodons are highly protective of their young and their feeding grounds. They never hesitate to drive away intruders, stomping underfoot any who are unwise enough to persist. Grizzly mastodons are among the most aggressive creatures alive when it comes to defending their territories from other groups of mastodons or large herbivores and protecting their mates and offspring from predators of all kinds. More than one hungry creature that thought to make a meal of a young grizzly mastodon has learned a harsh lesson at the sharp tusks and stomping feet of several furious adults.
A grizzly mastodon is a shaggy, elephantine creature covered in gray, brown, or black fur. It is called grizzly because of the sprinkling of gray hairs throughout its coat, like that of a grizzly bear. Unlike an elephant, a grizzly mastodon has two pairs of ivory tusks. The typical adult specimen is 20 feet tall and weighs 22,000 pounds.
In combat, grizzly mastodons gore with their four tusks, then trample opponents underfoot. They prefer to attack in groups, but they show no fear even when overmatched if the safety of their young is at stake.
