An herbivore which is fiercely protective and is likely to consider any approach an act of affression, prompting a trampling and goring charge. A mastodon differs from an elephant primarily in its larger size, but also in its thicker hide and elongated tusks. Like the mammoth, these elephant ancestors were common in the Pleistocene era. Outside of a pleistocene campaign these are only encountered in the arctic.
