Early humans were known to carve into mammoth tusks, but mainly for crafting tools. Mammoths only had two tusks that averaged 5-9 feet in length though the longest tusk ever found was almost 14 feet long. In actuality, the largest species of mammoths grew to roughly 13 feet in height, with most species of mammoths reaching a maximum of 10 feet. The mammoths kept as livestock by giants also flaunt ornate carvings on their tusks. Measuring almost 15 feet tall with four curved tusks, two larger and two smaller, with the longer pair an estimated 12 feet long. The dangerous mammoths found in Skyrim are massive. Some embellishments on the true history of mammoths may be more obvious than others. Mammoths are one of the largest herbivores found in the game and are an example of a real creature that was slightly adjusted for Tamriel. The wilds of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim feature many fantastic creatures, some of which are based in history and some that are entirely fiction.
