Mammoth

The Mammoth is a neutral Entity, which is the key distinction that shapes every encounter: it will not hunt you down, but provoke it and you face a genuine bruiser. It packs 800 HP and 30 damage per hit, with a walkspeed of 20, so a careless first swing can turn a quiet snow trek into a brutal fight you were not ready for. Approach it only when you have the weapons, armour and healing to commit fully.

Because it is neutral rather than hostile, the smart play is to engage on your terms — bring strong gear, land your opening burst, and use terrain to break line of sight when it retaliates. Its 800 HP makes it a slow grind with weak weapons, so this is a fight for mid-to-late runs once you have upgraded, not a night-one gamble.

The reward justifies the effort: the Mammoth drops a hefty 8-9 Steak, 2 Ribs, and a rare 0-1 Mammoth Tusk, making it one of the best food and material sources in the snowy region. If you would rather skip the brawl, it can also be tamed with 10 Pumpkins and 5 Cake, turning a dangerous beast into a loyal companion.
