Special Abilities

Long Steps (Ex) When a mammoth ape takes a 5-ft. step, it can actually reposition itself up to 10 feet without provoking attacks of opportunity.

Long Throws (Ex) A mammoth ape can throw massive boulders and logs of wood with ease, picking them up with a move action and throwing them (using two hands) as a standard action with range increment of 30 ft. On a failed attack roll they hit a random spot nearby like a  missed splash weapon and deal their minimum damage (usually 15) to everyone within 5 feet.

Terrifying Roars (Ex) A mammoth ape can attempt to demoralize a single opponent within 60 feet as a swift action, or all enemies within the same range as a standard action.

A mighty, yet extremally rare denizen of tropical lands, a mammoth ape is an enormous ape with equally enormous tusks—despite of what terrified witnesses might say, they are not as long as the beast's arms, however.

Mammoth apes are territorial and uncommunicative, but they can be placated with shows of submission and slow withdrawal from their territory. They are particularly aggressive towards others big humanoid and monstrous humanoids—relentlessly pursuing giants, trolls, and other specimens of their own kind. Their solitary nature can turn on them, though, when giants and trolls gang on them. Weirdly, they seem to mourn killed opponents, often issuing sad-sounding roars afterwards or going as far as carefully cover bodies of killed humanoids with leaves, branches or even whole trees.

They seem to be much more tolerant of wild animals, especially those that are much smaller than them. While strictly speaking, they are omnivores, the bulk of their sustenance is composed of plants, with animal hunting being only an occasional supplement to their diet. Obviously, they are far too huge to bother with minuscule snacks that appeals to smaller primates, such as eggs or insects, and when they eat fruits, they typically swallow a whole branch full of them.
