Elephant

Elephants are large mammals of the pachyderm family. They have been seen on Rabiah, Rath and Dominaria. The antropomorphic loxodon have been seen on Mirrodin and Ravnica.

The first card to bear the creature type Elephant was War Elephant in Arabian Nights. Elephants only appear in green and white.

Regular Elephants

Rabiah

Rabian elephants are trained and guided by humans for combat. Their main use is to charge the enemy, trampling them and breaking their ranks. A division of war elephants is known as elephantry.

Dominaria

The elephants from Vintara have four long horns on the side of their head, no trunk and small tusks. They are used by the rhystic mages of north-eastern Jamuraa.

Rath

Armodons are elephants native to Rath. They are distinct from other elephants since they have two sets of tusks, two large horns on top of their head and three or more horns on the base of their trunk. They are almost extinct.

Mammoths

Dominaria

Wild Mammoths can be trained as beasts of war.

Ulgrotha

Ulgrothan Mammoths are huge mammoths of Ulgrotha who were eventually almost entirely bred and kept in captivity, especially among the folks of An-Havva. They were used for difficult labor.

Mastodons

M10 introduced the Mastodon as a species of Elephant (Siege Mastodon).

Loxodons

A Selesnyan Loxodon

Loxodons are elephantine humanoids of unknown origin. They were present in Mirrodin and were thought to have originated in Ravnica, but it hasn't been confirmed.

Ravnican loxodons are nearly extinct. Most seek membership in the Selesnya Conclave, it being the most naturalistic of the guilds. Unlike their non-sentient elephant cousins, all Loxodon's are white creatures rather than green.

Loxodons also existed in the plane of Mirrodin, where they were brought via Memnarch's soul traps. In Mirrodin, they had as much metal on their bodies as any other beings, and had a more clerical rather than natural focus. These loxodon ascribed religious superiority to those born albino, believing them to be spiritually pure. Long ago, the Auriok attempted peace with the loxodons and the leonin attempted war; neither succeeded.

As Mirrodin became New Phyrexia, the Machine Orthodoxy's invasion of the Razor Fields isolated the remaining loxodon. The last remaining living loxodons in all planes are the ones who accompany Ghalma the Shaper, who has settled in Bladehold.
