Mammoth is an obsolete creature type for a race of elephantine animals with coats of thick brown hair and long, deeply curved tusks. It was later used again as a test card exclusive creature type.
History
Mammoth was one of the first creature types introduced in Alpha with War Mammoth, and also appeared in Ice Age. Later in the Grand Creature Type Update the creature type was incorporated in the Elephant type. From that moment on, Elephant Graveyard regenerated only Elephants because Mammoths no longer existed as such.
The type reappeared on Domesticated Mammoth, a test card in the Mystery Booster set.
Storyline
Mammoths have been seen on several different planes.
Dominaria
Woolly Mammoths were widespread during the Ice Age of Dominaria. Later, Wild Mammoths were still trained as beasts of war.
Eldraine
The Thorn Mammoths of Eldraine are very protective of all creatures in The Wilds.
Ikoria
The Honey Mammoths of Ikoria have a blue colored head and a big sweet tooth.
Kaldheim
The Battle Mammoths of Kaldheim are right at home in the particular snowy realms (e.g. Surtland).[1]
Muraganda
The Mammoths of Muraganda are used in raids by the Saurid Autocracy.
Tarkir
On Tarkir, Mammoths can be found in the reaches of Qal Sisma, and as companions of Temur Frontier clansmen.
Ulgrotha
Ulgrothan mammoths were eventually almost entirely bred and kept in captivity, especially among the folks of An-Havva. They were used for difficult labor.
Zendikar
On the Zendikar of Murasa, the Kazandu Mammoths are known to work in tandem with their Tuskcallers.
