	The loxoth are a nomadic culture of hunter-gatherers who occupy the plains of the Shaar and, in much smaller numbers, the Hordelands, roaming the grasslands in what you can call either "clans" or "herds"; such groups consist of 1-6 small family units (1 male, 1-3 females, 3-12 calves) accompanied by a group of 6-24 unattached males. In [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]], loxoth were explicitly described as originating from the [[Spelljammer]] universe; the entire species were said to be descendants of a migratory fleet of jammers that, for whatever reason, chose to settle in the plains of the Shaar on Faerun. In 3rd edition, because of Spelljammer's non-revival, this was downplayed to being only a rumor and made as nebulous as possible; loxo were stated to claim to come from another world via "Mysterious Means", rather than by spelljamming.

Loxo are an elephantine race in the [[Forgotten Realms]] setting of D&D. They were first introduced in the 2nd edition [[Forgotten Realms]] as non-playable monster creatures, and reappeared as a playable race in the 3.5 edition Shining South supplement. Loxo are unique in that they have a pair of trunks, instead of a single one, each tipped with finger-like appendages.

Almost like humanoid elephants, the nomadic loxos share the
plains of the Shaar with humans and others. Loxos are huntergatherers
that prefer the seclusion that comes with miles of open
terrain and little interaction with other species. They have roamed
the plains for some two centuries, claiming to have arrived from
another world via mysterious means. Only the loxos are certain
where they came from, and they do not speak of it.

'''Personality:''' Loxos are peaceful creatures that want nothing
so much as to be left alone. Though they are not aggressive, they
defend their herds ferociously, able to fi ght in a terrible rage when
necessary. They are fond of geometric patterns in their simple
clothing, particularly with circle or diamond shapes, and enjoy
creating rustic works of art to trade.

'''Appearance:''' A loxo appears to be a bipedal elephant,
albeit a bit smaller. Its skin is bluish-gray, wrinkled, and covered
with rough, sparse hair. It has stocky limbs and fi ngers, fl at feet,
and large ears. Its most striking feature is the pair of trunks
that grow from its face, framed by large
tusks. Each trunk is about 2 feet long
and has three fi ngerlike digits at
the end. The typical loxo stands
about 7 to 7-1/2 feet tall
and weighs about 500
pounds.

'''Relations:''' Loxos prefer the company of their own kind, but
do not go out of their way to discourage visitors unless they know
hostilities are likely. They come into the cities to trade from
time to time, particularly to offer pieces of their artwork for
sale. Otherwise, left to their own devices, loxos avoid the other
nomads of the Shaar.

'''Alignment:''' Isolationist by nature, loxos do not involve themselves
in causes or in other species’ problems. They are removed
from the struggles between good and evil that surface in other
parts of the world, favoring neither side. To the loxos, everything
has its place, but extremes can be detrimental to the survival of
the herd. Loxos tend to be true neutral.

'''Religion:''' Loxos venerate nature and strength, having a prevalent
druidic tradition and a secondary priesthood. The worship of
the druids appears to focus on an entity that must be an aspect
of Hiatea, a deity of giants, but also one of nature, agriculture,
hunting, and childbirth. Many loxo clerics worship their vision
of Hiatea, while some favor an aspect of Iallanis (also a deity of
giants) for his strength and healing ability.

== Loxo Stats ==

=== 3rd Edition ===
Loxo were made playable in the "Shining South" [[Forgotten Realms]] supplement.

• +8 Strength, +2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, –2 Charisma. Loxos
are powerful physical specimens, but their lack of contact with
outsiders limits their abilities of persuasion.

• Monstrous Humanoid: Loxos are not subject to spells or
effects that affect only humanoids, such as charm person or
dominate person.

• Large: As a large creature, a loxo has a –1 penalty to Armor
Class, a –1 penalty on attack rolls, a –4 penalty on Hide checks,
a +4 bonus on grapple checks, and his lifting and carrying
limits are double those of Medium characters.

• Space/Reach: 10 feet/10 feet.

• Loxo base land speed is 30 feet.

• Darkvision out to 60 feet.

• Racial Hit Dice: A loxo begins with fi ve levels of
monstrous humanoid, which provide him with
5d8 Hit Dice, a base attack bonus of +5, and
base saving throw bonuses of Fort +1, Ref +4,
Will +4.

• Racial Skills: A loxo’s monstrous humanoid
levels grant him skill points equal to 8 × (2 +
Int modifier). Class skills include Climb, Listen,
Spot, and Survival.

• Racial Feats: A loxo’s monstrous humanoid
levels grant him two feats.

• Weapon and Armor
Proficiency: A loxo is automatically
proficient with
simple weapons and light armor.

• Natural Attacks: Loxos can
attack with their trunks. A
loxo can make single attack with one
trunk (as a slam attack) that deals 1d6
points of damage, or with a full-attack
action, he can make slams with both
trunks. As part of a full-attack action
with another weapon, a loxo can make one
secondary attack using a single trunk at his highest
base attack bonus –5.

• Natural Armor: +4 natural armor bonus.

• Berserk Rage (Ex): A loxo that sees a clan
member killed or incapacitated enters a berserk rage. The
loxo gains a +4 bonus to Strength, a +4 bonus to Constitution,
and a +2 morale bonus on Will saves, but takes a –2 penalty
to Armor Class. This rage lasts a number of rounds equal to
3 + the loxo’s (newly improved) Constitution modifier. After
the rage ends, the loxo is fatigued (–2 penalty to Strength,
–2 penalty to Constitution, can’t charge or run) until the
end of the encounter.

• Trample (Ex): As a standard action, a loxo can trample
creatures of Medium size or smaller. The loxo merely has
to move over the opponents. The trample deals 1d8 (plus
1-1/2 times the loxo’s Strength bonus) points of bludgeoning
damage. A trampled opponent can make an attack of
opportunity with a –4 penalty against the trampling loxo
or attempt a Reflex save for half damage. The DC for the
Reflex save is 10 + 2 (1/2 of the loxo’s racial HD) + the
loxo’s Str modifier.

• Automatic Languages: Loxo. Bonus Languages: Common,
regional dialects.

• Favored Class: Ranger. A multiclassed loxo’s ranger class does
not count when determining whether he takes an experience
point penalty for multiclassing.

• Level Adjustment: +2.
