If you've ever wanted to play a Loxodon in Dungeons and Dragons Now's your chance. Get your artificer gear out and Tap that mana because were going on a Safari. Too much? Oh well I'll just bounce him back into my hand and try again.
Mastadons, Mammoths, Lifechanters,Trunk Fluffers, Cage the Elephant, Tuskers, Land Whale. Dumbo, Warhammers, Who givers, things not talked about in rooms.
Let’s talk about Loxodons.
Loxodon are a rather interesting race, partially because they come from Magic the gathering instead of the Oldschool D&d universe. That being said, I really like how they did the ravnica crossover and thus I have added the loxodon into my repertoire of weird and interesting character races.
So i’ve you’ve ever wanted to play a character that can kill somebody with their nose or Suplex your enemys with your face. Then these Lumbering Elephuntish, Elephanal phentnal? Eleflux? Trunk Buddies Elephantidane! There we go.. Are for you!
The Word Loxodon Comes from the ancchent greek meaning GIMongo Schnoz… wait no thats not right.. They are named for the way their teeth look… Thats a bummer…
Well there you go Loxodonta africanas - African elephant. Sorry that wasn’t more exciting….

Totally ran a female glamour bard Loxodon themed after a veil dancer you might see in Arabian Nights. It was very fun to play her catering to a specific clientele, as well as the making tons of NPCs confront deep and disturbing feelings within themselves.

AINT NO WAY IM ALSO DOING GLAMOUR BARD LOXODON, he is just a well dressed noble singer and dancer. Not the erotic kind lol but hey, maybe… also he may multiclass with circle of dreams Druid to really feed into his connection with the fey. He’s way less serious as other Loxodons are so he’s fun.

I'd like to imagine that the Loxodon Artificer would have trouble finding tools of the right size for them so they have to constantly fiddle with tiny tools while making magic items

[@TheSimbaman]

I made a loxodon monk who’s parents gave him to a monastery to protect me when I was a baby. In our campaign where we lived was a human supremacy and all other non human creatures are ether killed made into slaves or exiled. So far I am the only character that has not died yet considering we came across a kraken at lv 3 that wiped all but 3 people out of the 6 then we came acrossand accent blue dragon at lv 4 that I convinced to attack a military fort that was being made in its Territory. On of our pc became a puppet of an accent Primordial. And right now I’m stuck babysitting a pc goblin that has almost killed our party twice. The stories I could tell

[@TheSimbaman]

@@Rookzer0 after that we were tasked by a powerful grand wizard to investigate a part of the continent that has been taken over by the undead and we found out that the land was being changed by the same primordial that took me friend. We set up cam for the night and the next morning a tower appears in font of our camp. After going through it we reach a room that has an adult black dragon and we killed it. After we loot the room and right down a map that lbs on the wall we attempt to return the way we came and we run into our friend who was taken by the primordial. I beet the living crap out of him and he turns to dust. Then turns out he didn’t die and he has the eye of venkia. Now we have a race to find the arm before he does. Also this all happens when we’re lv 6

Dang it DnD creators! Let me play a huge and tiny creature! I already find it weird GOLIATHS are not taller and considered huge. Let me live with the mistake of not being able to fit in buildings or walk as fast cause I'm teeny! I get some restrictions like playing giants or are bug sized but everyone being medium sized is so boring. I shared this with my players and now he's making a 300 year old loxodon that's gonna end up being everyone's grandpa from how he described it. A bardbarian who only rages after one of his friends get hurt but is otherwise hesitate to fight. He sounds adorable and I'm excited. XD

I think an interesting RP trait to give Loxodons is that they would see all human-like races as being cute, and they would speak to them like we would to puppies and kittens in an annoying patronizing tone. They would also act like parents to their fellow party members.

Awesome video and drawing! I'm currently running a Loxodon monk named Maxen Zhandol... My GM is not letting me do a whole lot with his trunk, but he's super awesome Tranquility Monk. His Path features are mostly useless, with the exception of healing hands with a nice pool of points. Makes the path totally worth it, and takes some pressure off the cleric. I play him with elements of Po and Shifu from Kung Fu Panda. Lots of fun...

Last year i have found this artwork, which iched me to play a mammoth loxodon. So i have been playing Dronton for a year now and he is awesome. A conquest paladin and forge cleric, who also is a blacksmith. His only armor is his leather apron and in fights he uses a glave, which he crafted himself. One time he battled and won against an giant ape in a one o one battle. Well i only survived because of a nat 20 on a death save (thats why one tusk broke off). So thanks for that! :)

So hey man I'm back with another quick update about goldtooth and his friends Adventures. This one's going to be really short for not very much important things that. So we've been playing the module against the Giants and we just finally completed that at the very last dungeon we faced a bunch of fire Giants and actually face to demon Lords. The demogorgon that wasn't at his full strength an orcish The Necromancer who at the time was at his full strength. And defeated a ancient Red Dragon. The reason why the two demons were there is because they were hunting two of the artifacts of orcish that were hiding in the place what he did get his hands on sadly. But when will me and my friends were able to take on the ancient red dragon in take it out when I was going to harvest some of its blood for some alchemic rituals later our DM had me roll for a wisdom save what I did fail and when I did he had me had a vision and in the vision I was in a dark room everything was hot and very dry and out of the darkness 12 eyes pure down at me and then five voices all talking at once said I have finally found you you little vermin and then I snapped out of the vision. So pretty much our DM has teroimt now coming after me so ye to demon Lords and a God all now hate goldtooth and want him dead. I am wondering what my next adventure will be I'm hearing that are DM wants to us to go through the tomb of Horrors after we get past floor 18 on the tower of the Mad mage.

The Loxodons are extremely underwhelming in my view. No Strength increase, no size increase, no mentions of tusks etc...hell, not even variants like the minotaurs. WOTC really missed the chance to do something with this. And they seem to have a butthurt stance on letting players be anything bigger than medium size... Despite making every effort to try and make big guys still seem 'big' in some ways, like the bugbear.

[@Rookzer0]

Yeah I always ask my players that if they want to play a minotaur or loxodon that they play them as large sized creatures. I think it fits them better in the long run.

[@NoahAregood]

I personally quite enjoy the Loxodon not just being another Str/Con Race. The +2 Con keeps the feel of them being big and burly, while the +1 Wis reflects the Wisdom that is usually attributed to Elephants as an animal and as a symbol. Plus, it gives me the excuse to play Loxodon Clerics, Monks, and Druids. Do still wish they were larger in size or had an official Mastadon/Mammoth Variant.
