Homebrew Loxodon (Updated for 5.5e) Species Details

Loxodon are humanoid elephants. These 7-8 foot tall elephants value wisdom and peace over everything. Loxodons physically mature at the same rate as humans, but they live about 450 years. They highly value the weight of wisdom and experience and are considered young until they reach the age of 60. Their massive bodies usually weigh between 300 and 400 pounds.

Loxodon are extremely loyal and can be quite fearsome when they or their friends are threatened. Although they are very large and strong, they are known to be skilled artisans, especially when it comes to stonework.

Most Loxodon are members of the Selesnya Conclave, although some have been known to join the Orzhov Syndicate and the Azorius Senate.
