 {{Wikipedia}}
-The mastodon is an animal that resembles the modern [[wikipedia:elephant|elephant]].
+A mastodon (from Ancient Greek ''μαστός'', mastós or "breast", and ''ὀδούς'', odoús or "tooth"), is a member of the genus ''Mammut'' (German for 'mammoth'), which was endemic to North America and lived from the late Miocene to the early Holocene, which spans from 11 million to 11 thousand years ago. Mastodons belong to the order ''Proboscidea'', which also contains the modern [[wikipedia:elephant|elephants]] and mammoths (which belong to the family Elephantidae), while ''Mammut'' is the type genus of the extinct family ''Mammutidae'', which diverged from the ancestors of modern elephants at least 27–25 million years ago, during the Oligocene.

-A '''mastodon''' is a large, thick-skinned, [[herbivore]] that is not very common in the dungeon.
+A '''mastodon''', {{monsym|mastodon}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in ''[[NetHack]]''. The mastodon is a [[large]] [[herbivorous]] [[quadruped]] that is [[thick-skinned]] and can tear through [[web]]s, and has the highest [[monster level]] and [[Monster difficulty|difficulty]] of its [[monster class]].
-==Biology==
+Mastodons possess two strong [[headbutt]] attacks.
-To be precise, mastodons are a group of species. Not a single species. While the mastodon does resemble the modern [[wikipedia:elephant|elephant]], the modern elephant is not a direct descendant of the mastodon.
+==Generation==
 ==Strategy==
-Although having a moderate speed as compared to [[horse|horses]], mastodons can be [[tame]]d for the purposes of [[riding]]. Since it has a very good attack, it will make a strong melee-fighting pet.
+[[Tame]] mastodons are passable as pets and can make decently strong [[steed]]s, but their herbivorous diet and lack of defenses can make long-term maintenance very difficult.
-Consider zapping a tame mastodon (as with any [[motile]] pet) with a [[wand of speed monster]], particularly if you are riding it and/or don't have a [[magic whistle]].
+==History==
-Note that in [[SLASH'EM]] they are represented by {{brown|q}}, identical to the far less dangerous [[rothe]].
