Loxodon
Loxodon
The Loxodon are a reclusive, near-extinct race of wisdom-seekers and divinely blessed elephant-people. Their giant stature gives them the picture of idyllicism, in that it seems as if nothing in the world could ever disturb them. They hum or chant in sonorous tones and move slowly or sit in perfect stillness. As they say, "There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man."

race features:
- Powerful Build: You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.
- Loxodon Serenity: You have advantage against being charmed or frightened.
- Natural Armour: You have thick, leathery skin. When you aren't wearing armor, your AC is 12 + your Constitution modifier. You can use your natural armor to determine your AC if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield's benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armor.
- Trunk: You can grasp things with your trunk, and you can use it as a snorkel. It has a reach of 5 feet, and it can lift a number of pounds equal to five times your Strength score. You can use it to do the following simple tasks: lift, drop, hold, push, or pull an object or a creature; open or close a door or a container; grapple someone; or make an unarmed strike. Your DM might allow other simple tasks to be added to that list of options. It can't wield weapons or shields or do anything that requires manual precision, such as using tools or magic items or performing the somatic components of a spell.
- Keen Smell: Thanks to your sensitive trunk, you have advantage on Wisdom (Perception), Wisdom (Survival), and Intelligence (Investigation) checks that involve smell.
While they are 7 foot tall and very heavy, strong creatures, it is their wisdom and pacifism that separate them from all other races. These two things are the most important attributes a Loxodon can have in their culture. This is why a Loxodon is not considered an adult until they are 60 years old. Despite being an elephant kind race, they are bipedal. Their skin is rough and just like an elephant in our world. Unlike humans, they only have 4 digits. They have a long trunk and large ears. Most of the Loxodon in the world have tusks; however, these tusks vary in size.
Loxodon dwell almost exclusively within Leukos, a byproduct of being part of the largest councils of Luswere. There are a few nomadic tribes that live in Nobleon for the strong deital connection, but most Loxodon remain in government-related professions in Leukos.
