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….

"What layer am I on?"
I feel your pain, buddy.
I only lost like 30 mins of work but it's still always a bummer.
@@Rookzer0explanation layers
instaBlaster.
"Phalanxodon" sounds like a nice name for a Roman-themed defense build
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.
Ah, Fantasia
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
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
YES! LET IT BEGIN!
Well…. How did it go? Don’t leave us hanging!
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
Thats a dark world your dm has crafted for you
@@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
Instantly made me want to make a mammoth rune knight build with the ice rune
That sounds like a sweet build! I may have to do some digging into this!
I would want to inscribe some of the rune on the tusks and go crazy with the nose grapple... That sounds really strange out of context.
I can't believe I have not yet thought about having my Loxodon Monk pick up a rock for an improvised club as a nose
I would give my loxodon character a fancy suit, tophat, and monocle with a weaponized cane and British accent.
I think thw monocle sells it. Nice work
@@Rookzer0 Thanks, as added quirks i would of course go with a fear of mice or anything that looks like one and love of peanuts for good measure.
@@thecrimsonfuckeralucardlor5087 that's great, i overlooked the peanuts... missed opportunity :/
@@Rookzer0 Still a good video though, i enjoy the drawings.
Call me Monopoly, cause I'm stealin yo shit! 🤣👌👌👌
(Just kidding bro.)
This is high quality content, I'm really enjoying your channel. I haven't had an urge to draw like this in 10+ years.
Thank you! If you want to share some of your work feel free to do so on the discord server
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.
Could be a good time. I would definitely go with the large size at that point
Ooooh stealing!
I have a loxodon light cleric named N`Daga who talks like an elcor from mass effect
She uses her tusks coming through her shield while charging
I dig it! Does that give you bonus damage or do you get a free shield bash on your charges?
@@Rookzer0 the DM and I agreed that bonus damage depended on the distance N'Daga was able to charge before hitting the monster because while an elephant might be slow on accelerating but can hit a surprisingly high top speed
@@troperhghar9898 Great idea, I always love to see players and Dm's coming up with unique moves for their characters. Really nice touch!
@@Rookzer0 thank you it's part of the reason I like playing beast races because you can add things for realism
Like if your an aarakokra you take bonus damage from blunt damage because of the hollow bones but for balancing they get different stats depending on the type of bird you are
Is that move called ''Get Train'ed '' ? Because if not I feel like there is a joke to be made. Neat idea btw.
YES! thank you so much for doing the video, turned out great. Same thing goes for the artwork!
Yeah np, I will post the images up on art station and patreon later for use with character sheets
We need more dnd/mtg crossover
I aggree, id love to see some more artifacts and spells cross over. I allow my players to bring cards to the table as insperation. A Beholder mtg deck would be pretty sweet.
I play a loxodon monk. shes doesn't use her trunk often but she known for yeeting things and being a battering ram
does she yeet things with her trunk?
@@Rookzer0 sadly no ;; although she hasn't had the chance to get really mad and strangle hit and throw things with her hands n trunk
Weapons? Two spiked tower shields, hammers, or/and a spear or axe either held with the trunk, or attached to the trunk like a gauntlet sword. Best class? Barbarian, Battlemaster, Cleric.
Only 2 shields? Pump those numbers!
@@Rookzer0 Naw, he's already armored. Those are for the lil' guys to use as cover as we advance. Not like he can't bash with 'em if things get wild.
I'm gonna play a Loxodon Echo Knight soon, cosmetically he's gonna be a Mammoth so its just gonna be for looks, cause Mammoths are cool
Nice if you'd like to use the artwork for your character sheet free free
I think any loxodon should have a stomp and sound attacks and rush or tackle attack. Also usin weapons in each hand and in the trunk
Could do that with your class, barbarian luxadon definitely need thunder damage
When I started playing MTG I had an elephant deck, I also had Loxodon Warhammers as well as eldrazi monument. It was fun
Nice The loxodon warhammer is a dope item I still have one or two in my personal collection somewhere
its like a marvel movie you gotta wait until the very end.
You figured out the secret!
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...
I always thought loxodons with step of the wind was beyond silly, and I love it.
I Loveeeee these videos, but we all do have to recognize Elephant Elephant as the best class of Elephant 🤣I feel your pain on that layer anything i ever do even if its just thumbnails ...... I am a mess i have done that soooo many times lmao! Nice video Rookzero!
:) Thanks
Very entertaining and learned some about something I knew nothing about lol. Never played d&d.
You should give it a try some time!
Playing a Loxodon Warlock at the moment with plenty of cantrips and melee touch spells to simulate ripping people to pieces with his massive limbs and tusks and it's awesome.
Investigator rogue loxodon with 8 dex, he just would grapple and stank people with a punching dagger or whip people with a think rope. His name was Gumbo.
Lol I like the visual
@@Rookzer0 he fit real well in dragonheist waterdeep.
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! :)
Just started a campaign with a Loxodon Clockwork Soul Sorcerer. An elephant never forgets after all. It's fun to be both charismatic and analytical, because even when you're sitting in the back counting on you abacus the exact gold amount the bandits should be forced to pay their victims as recompense, no will ignore the elephant in the room.
I'm not sure if your trolling me or not but I love it ether way :)
@@Rookzer0 I'm not trolling! I really did just start a campaign with this character and he's been real fun so far!
Elephants aren't afraid of small things, they're afraid to *step on* said small things, they don't wanna kill the mice 😭
I understand their worry
I love layers as a new digital artist, but it sucks when you forget to switch
Yeah is a constant struggle......
Now I’m curious about a loxodon with the giant barbarian subclass 😈😈
Mammoth giant barb sounds awesome
@@Rookzer0 that’s what I’m thinking…now I just need to find a group that will allow it 😂
Elephants aren't afraid of mice, but they are terrified of bees.
I didn't know that!
@@Rookzer0 Yeah, some places in Africa and Asia post and hang beehives to act as scarecrows.
Have you ever seen the video about underground elephants? Kinda blew my mind, I guess the idea never dawned on me whenever I heard we find mammoths in caves.
ruclips.net/video/7OcZmSJ6Ajk/видео.html
“Trunk fluffers” i like that
Ha ha thanks
I am cooking up character ideas for Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden and a Loxodon Mammoth would be sweet. Replace one of the abilities probably the armor one with cold resistance
Absolutely, If you're going monk feel free to use the character art for your character sheet
@@Rookzer0 Thank you! got some time to stew on it
@@Rookzer0 How is it that I see this video 3 days after I've joined a roll20 campaign for Rime of the Frost Maiden, and made a Mammoth variant Loxodon? Never heard of this race til this DM had me roll randomly for race, so I'm researching it.
I also hate that all big playable races are medium.... centaurs who weight up to 900 lbs are in the same weight class that lanky elves......WTF??
Squirrels come either in swarms or in Redwall sizes
Why you should play a swarm confirmed
@@Rookzer0 Dire Squirrel Swarm - the reason the frontier forest Journey's End has its name. "Beware the Chittering Tide" carved into stones along it's edge
Mammoth Loxodon and saber tooth tiger Leonin
Mind Flayer next! Please.
Oh dang, idk why thats not on the list yet. It's being added now!
You should do a few videos for some of the Starfinder races, lots of unique and interesting races there.
You know that's not a bad Idea, I have a secret love for sci-fi art which I haven't done since darwin's demons. I will look into it, thank you.
@@Rookzer0 Shirren are my favorites, always loved sentient insectoid races. Loved the Thri-Kreen back when Dark Sun was still around.
@@slyme369 I will defiantly check those out! I haven't drawn any bugs for a while :)
Hmmmm. What is Babar's class? He's of noble birth and dresses really well and is well spoken, so some Bard maybe? And I think he's done some stealth sort of things, so a few levels in Rogue? He definitely has training in pretending to be a normal naked elephant, so.... in pathfinder he'd have a lot of ranks in Disguise Self?
But can you have a Vintage Commander Deck with Loxadarns and the Hammer of Bogardan?
Are you telling me that I *shouldn't* be snorting a stack of d4s while I watch this video? Why I am wounded, and not just by the wannabe caltrops stuck in my nasal cavity.
Lines of magic missles probbably arnt that healthy for you.
I’m a loxodon wizard I can use fireball and my trunk lol
Insert sneezing joke
Howitzer wizard, also their armor bonus works with bladesong.
But Rookzer, snorting dice is badass...
Talk to your doctor before deciding ig snorting dice is righy for you.
Hell yea!
I hope you enjoyed the video.
ask the Persians, Elephants are afraid of pigs on fire
Good to know!
Monk that hunk
a "Hunky Trunky Monk"
I wanted to play a Loxodon as a druid Shepard but cant seem to roll it or find it in D&D beyond
The Loxodon should be in guild guide to ravnica... circle of the Shepard is in xanthars
Update: made a "Woolly Folk" race for this on D&D (glitched and wouldn't let me publish lol) and played one in a game as a large creature instead of medium definitely worth ot eventhough the game got cut short. Totally plan on playing one again as a huge creature. Try to ask your DM's to let you used a weapon that a hill giant would have lol
Should be a lot of fun. Hopefully you dm will populate the world with larger sized doors
I like Loxadanx
Just discovered you. Awesome!
Welcome to the club! Check out our discord if you have the time!
Elephantine*
I'm currently playing a wooly loxodon open hand monk on a horde of the dragon queen
YES! Feel free to use my image for your character sheet
@@Rookzer0 OMG THANKS
I've never been replied to by a youtuber
I want to make a mammoth loxodon but instead of giving it a +1 in con I might put it in strength because I want him to be huge
You could argue that. Make him a big beefy boi! Talk to your dm and go to town. I would probbably keep the con bonus but swap the wisdom for str. Spent all hos life at the gym instead of looking at how the world worked
How well do you think a Loxodon would do at being a forge cleric?
I dont see any issues should be pretty tough
Yupyupyup nice video
:D
I will make drunk monk elephant. It will be funny.
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. So wish goldtooth luck he's definitely going to need lol
Holly hellfire... now im to invested i might have to do some fan art :)
@@Rookzer0 well if you ever want a reference I have a Discord that I can easily send you a few reference pics of what might character pretty much looks like by my artist Curtkid.
Yeah that would cool!
@@Rookzer0 well okay my Discord is jaythemastermind#1992. Like I said if you ever get a chance hit me up on Discord and I'll even invite you into my group chat so you can actually get to talk to all the other Brave Heroes that join us in our adventures so you can actually get to hear their side of the story as well
Nice video man
Hey how about a video about satyr?
I wanna play one on a campaign but I dont know if I should (please HELP)
I will add it to the list!
Can you do the gargoyles or the homunculus?
Those are both on my lists, I hope to get around to them both in the near future!
Wish all the people watching these great videos would just subscription already
Ha ha we actually have a pretty high sub watch ratio. Need more people sharing and commenting. Thank you by the way.
Hey man new here can you do Rhino folk
Can you make a tabaxi vid.
The sketches have begun!
@@Rookzer0 nice
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.
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.
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.
The natural are thing is cool, they're one of the two races that has an AC not tied to dex, the other being tortol.
