Other Abilities / Powers / Notes:

  1. Mammoths are a Species of Elephant and are noted for their wisdom and long memories.  Unlike Elephants, they are of a savage nature.
  2. The Dream Kingdom of Elephants is known as the Elephants’ Graveyard, although strictly speaking the Graveyard is its Sacred Heart, where the wisest Elephant Matriarchs make their final journey to die and be reincarnated by GANCHA, the Elephant Goddess.  The Dream Kingdom of Mammoths commonly manifests as a glacial melt with many cold wallows.  It merges at its fringes with the Tree Kingdoms of the Mammoths’ favourite trees of the taiga.
