    "Although usually known as peaceful giants of the tundra, if a female Mammoth can be already absurdly dangerous to defend her calf from danger, few animals in Skyrim come close to the terror that a male Mammoth  in Musth can pose to the unfortunate who cross his path on the snowy tundra.

    While the tamed female Mammoths usually live around the Giants' camps, grazing in groups and taking care of all the Mammoth Calfs together, the males however, much larger and with a more aggressive and territorial behavior, prefer to live solitary lifes in more remote and isolated areas, in the icy tundra to the north, descending to lower altitudes only when in heat, also known as Musth. During this period, the males, which are naturally out of choice for domestication by the Giants who herd the females and their calfs by the reasons mentioned above, become even more dangerous, and can attack the Giants themselves, and even the small calfs. To avoid major problems with the territorial males, the Giants tend to keep females in heat away from their herding fields, so that they can mate without the males getting too close to the herds."

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure to use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to avoid overwriting conflicts with other creature mods.
