Mammoths were a species native to Earth in prehistory.

Prehistory

In the pre-universe before the Time Lords created history, there existed cities carved into gigantic ivory tusks where scholars and philosophers rode on the backs of steam-powered mammoth skeletons. (PROSE: Christmas on a Rational Planet) The mammoths ruled these cities and were in turn ruled by Cernunnos. The mammoths created stone men and then used breeding-engines to create humanity.

After the creation of the Spiral Politic, Cernunnos ordered the humans to hunt mammoths to extinction. A trace of loyalty to mammoths remained in humanity's collective memory for billions of years. The ruins of one of the mammoths' ivory cities stayed hidden in an alter-time realm. (PROSE: Cobweb and Ivory)
