The Wooly Mammoth, also known as Tundra Mammoth, is a recurring boss and summon in the Epic Battle Fantasy series, introduced in Epic Battle Fantasy 3. This noble creature is one of the last of its kind; when the party spares its life after defeating it in battle, it helps them on numerous occasions out of gratitude.

History

Epic Battle Fantasy 3

The Tundra Mammoth's overworld sprite

The Tundra Mammoth is referred to as "the last-ever wooly mammoth". It is one of the many creatures to have been hunted to near-extinction by the denizens of Glacier Valley.

The party hears many NPCs talking about the rarity and power of the Tundra Mammoth throughout Glacier Valley. They finally encounter the beast itself blocking the bridge leading towards their next destination, where they fought and defeated it. Although Matt and Lance wanted to kill and eat it, Natalie convinced them to spare the Mammoth's life. Out of gratitude for the heroes' mercy, the Mammoth became an ally of the party and guided them out of the mountains, only to pass out when they reached the desert covering Kitten Kingdom Ruins. Along with Giant Squid, it later joined the heroes in celebrating the defeat of Akron.

Epic Battle Fantasy 4

The Wooly Mammoth's EBF4 overworld sprite

The Tundra Mammoth returns, now named Wooly Mammoth. In the initial game release, it did not have any role in game's story and only appeared as an unlockable summon. However, based on Natalie's reaction upon summoning it for the first time, it is in fact the same mammoth that appeared in EBF3.

Following the Battle Mountain update, the Wooly Mammoth appears as an optional boss in Whitefall Town. It guards a chest containing its own summon, and is fought alongside a pair of Friend Dogs. In the Miniboss Marathon atop Battle Mountain itself, the Wooly Mammoth returns, this time paired up with two Sky Monoliths.

Epic Battle Fantasy 5

In EBF5, the Wooly Mammoth is no longer a boss, but is instead a high-tier foe nearly on par with Monoliths and Dragons. Additionally, it is now a member of a family of foes, the Mammoths. Being an ordinary foe, it has no significant role in the game's story.

Appearance-wise, its ears are a bit more spread out and it only has two tusks, but otherwise looks the same as it did in previous games. The Wooly Mammoth is generally encountered in the Frozen Valley, where it is one of the stronger foes to be found.

Appearance and Attributes

The Tundra Mammoth resembles an extinct type of real-world elephant, but with four tusks and shaggy brown fur. Its back is largely covered in snow, and an extra tuft of fur on its head gives it the appearance of hair. Oddly, it lacked ears and a tail in its EBF3 appearance, which was corrected when it returned in EBF4.

In battle, the Mammoth uses its great strength and bulk to perform powerful physical attacks, but it is also armed with a variety of Earth, Fire (only in EBF3) and Ice abilities. It is resistant against Ice, along with Wind and Water in some games, but weak to Fire, Dark (except EBF4) and Poison.

In EBF5, it gains two new quirks: a chance to revive with a fraction of maximum health when killed, which is easily stopped with the Tired or Weaken statuses the Mammoth is weak to, and a chance to make players Hungry (ignoring resistances and Evade) when killed, which can be avoided by capturing the mammoth instead of killing it. It also has the ability to debuff the players and buff other foes.

Battle Logic

The following describes general logic of the enemy and attack patterns, with chances of each attack to be used. Conditions are listed from highest to lowest priority unless specified otherwise.

Epic Battle Fantasy 3

• Every 2 turns → Passively summons either Ice Bits or Fire Bits, both level 22, into slots 1 and 5.
• Every 4 turns → Passively summons either of the following into slot 4: Viking Monolith, Ice Elemental, Holy Eye, Glacier Eater, Lava Eater, all level 22.

• Berserked → Stampede;
• Syphoned → Tusk Strike (1/4), Ground Pound (1/4), Body Slam (1/4), Stampede (1/4);
• ≥48.5% HP → Ground Pound (1/4), Body Slam (1/4), Stampede (1/4), Snow (1/4);
• <48.5% HP → Tusk Strike (1/5), Ground Pound (1/5), Body Slam (1/5), Stampede (1/5), Snow (1/5);
• Death → Summons level 22 Fire Bits into slots 1 and 5.

Epic Battle Fantasy 4

Epic Battle Fantasy 5

Action

• If catch score >55 and all players are Lovable → Ground Pound (1/2);
  • <49% HP → Trumpet (Debuff) (1/2);
  • Otherwise → Trumpet (Buff) (1/2);
• If Syphoned or Berserked → Tusk Strike (1/3), Body Slam (1/3), Ground Pound (1/3);

  • Otherwise → Body Slam (2/8), Trumpet (Debuff) (1/8), Trumpet (Buff) (1/8).

*Ground Pound will immediately be followed by either Tundra or Tremor (same 1/2 chance for each) on Hard/Epic, unless catch score >55 and all players are Lovable, or the Mammoth is Syphoned.

Counter (only if Counter-Attacking Foes is enabled)

• 33% → Tusk Strike (3/4), Body Slam (1/4).

Additionally, if any front line player has equipment that scares Beasts, the Wooly Mammoth will inflict 1x Berserk on themselves at the start of their turn (this does not take up their action).

Can Revive on the first and second deaths if not inflicted with Weaken or Tired; uses Make Hungry on final death.

Strategy

Epic Battle Fantasy 3

Resistance to Earth, Fire, Ice, and Freeze are advisable, as well as Fire-based weapons and skills.

Matt:

• Hats: Genji Helmet, Fuzzy Hat
• Armor: Genji Armor, Viking Fur
• Swords: Sol Spear, Soul Eater, Swordbreaker

Natalie:

• Hats: Red Ribbon, Pink Flower, Ice Shards
• Armor: Red Dress, Viking Dress
• Staves: Crystal Staff, Flameheart, Obsidian

Lance:

• Hats: Fuzzy Hat, Genji Helmet
• Armor: Viking Fur, Genji Armor
• Guns: Ark Angel, Red Vulcan

Combined with Flameheart, Sol Spear, and Red Vulcan, Fire spells can do quite a lot of damage to the Tundra Mammoth, as well as his frequent summons. Make sure to inflict a good stack of Poison on the boss (via Nettle and Toxic) — with the Poison element weakness, it'll greatly help dealing with the Mammoth, possibly doing more damage in total than direct attacks. As usual, make sure to keep your defensive buffs high; Regen is especially useful, due to the variety of freezing attacks.

Additionally, it may be worth it to not kill weaker minions, as they would be quickly replaced with other, possibly stronger foes.

Epic Battle Fantasy 4

Although it is not as powerful as its EBF3 incarnation, the Mammoth is still a strong foe. Its main strategy is one of attrition; between its massive HP, Stun-inducing body slam, and ability to severely debuff the party's Attack and Magic Attack in one turn, wearing it down can be quite a chore.

Raising your resistances to Ice and Earth can prove beneficial, but they're far from necessary, since the Mammoth mainly relies on non-elemental attacks. Also consider raising your Stun resistance, as the Mammoth's body slam has a high chance of inflicting this ailment. As always, defensive buffs are essential to reduce the damage taken each turn, especially against the Mammoth's physical attacks.

Offensively, Fire and Poison and the corresponding status effects are highly effective against the Mammoth. Try to keep the beast under constant Burn and Poison statuses (alternatively, Poison and Weaken) - since they're unaffected by the offensive stats of the players, they can end up doing more damage to the miniboss than direct attacks, especially since the Mammoth will frequently use its debuff, keeping your Attack and Magic Attack at a minimum.

In Whitefall Town, the Mammoth is accompanied by a pair of Friend Dogs at the start of the battle. They should be targeted immediately, since their healing spells will only make the Mammoth even harder to wear down - luckily, the dogs share the Mammoth's Poison weakness, so you won't have to worry too much about switching gear around.

On Battle Mountain, a pair of Wooly Mammoths serves as the final wave of the Whitefall Foe Rush on the third screen of the area. They can be defeated in largely the same fashion as a single Mammoth, albeit with more emphasis on defence and keeping your HP up, since you've had to fight through five waves prior to this one and the damage can add up fast if both Mammoths target the same character. As usual, you should focus your Fire and Poison attacks on one Mammoth at a time for the most efficient results.

Summon

Epic Battle Fantasy 3

Tundra Mammoth is a random summon from Viking Fur (male armor) and Viking Dress (female armor). Both share the "Randomly summons Mammoths" caption, but the effects are different: Viking Fur's Mammoth simply falls onto the foes, while Viking Dress' one stomps the ground, causing an earthquake.

Statistics
Armor & Attack	Target	Power	Type	Element	Status Effect			Acc	Crit	RdF
Viking Fur's Mammoth fall	All	80		----	20%	2x		100%	10%	10%
Viking Dress' Mammoth's stomp	All	150		50%	--	--	--	100%	10%	10%

(As EBF3 random summons scale off players' stats and both Matt and Lance have drastically more physical strength than Natalie, the stomp version will likely deal less damage than the fall version, despite having nearly twice as much power.)

It's worth noting that both armors won't ever summon anything until the Tundra Mammoth is defeated as a boss.

Epic Battle Fantasy 4

The stalactites falling on a Blue Clay.

Can be obtained from the chest guarded by Wooly Mammoth himself, soon after exiting Crystal Caverns. Upon activation, Wooly Mammoth stomps the ground, causing stalactites to fall onto the chosen foe.

The Mammoth can also be summoned randomly by Viking Fur (male armor), Fur Dress (female armor) and Premium-exclusive Fur Hat (female hat). Instead of stomping the ground, Wooly Mammoth itself will fall onto a foe.

Trivia

• Despite being referred to as the last mammoth, the EBF3 Tundra Mammoth can summon an entire stampede of mammoths to attack the players.
  • In EBF4, there's also a second Mammoth in Battle Mountain, which is recognized as being different than the one fought at Whitefall. (However, as the characters themselves say when nearing the Mammoth there, all Battle Mountain-related events are non-canon.)
• Despite having more than double the base magic attack in EBF4, the Wooly Mammoth has no magical attacks.
