Gammoth are female Fanged Beasts first introduced in Monster Hunter Generations.
Physiology
All Gammoth are female as the males are not seen. Gammoth resembles a real-life Woolly Mammoth. She is by far the largest Fanged Beast known to date. The fur covering her huge body is mostly bluish, although it's also white and red on her trunk, legs, back and underside. She has brown plating covering most of her head and feet, as well as two tusks seemingly made of the same material. This plating is said to be extremely resistant to damage. The underside of her trunk seems to be covered in a scaly hide, and is lined with numerous spikes. Her eyes are small and on the sides of the head. Interestingly, Gammoth is sometimes seen with its legs encased in snow clumps.
Abilities
Gammoth is able to breathe snow from its trunk, encasing enemies in it. This snow can also be applied to its legs, encasing them in an icy armor. It can also use its trunk to create a large vortex, sucking hunters in from a distance so it can trample them more easily. However, Gammoth mainly uses its brute strength and sheer size to deal with threats.
Behavior
Gammoth are hostile to just about anything. They are particularly hostile towards Tigrex, however. This is said to be because Tigrex is the natural predator of young Gammoths, and as Gammoth grows older its fear of Tigrex is replaced by rage and aggression.
Habitat
Gammoth lives in polar regions, such as the Polar Field, Frozen Seaway, and Arctic Ridge.
