Loxodon
Native to Ravnica and Mirrodin. Loxodon are large humanoid elephant-folk, intelligent and highly spiritual, slow but immensely powerful. They are instinctively reclusive and are viewed as mysterious by other races, which respect them even so. On Ravnica, they traditionally belong to the life-worshipping Selesnya Conclave or the militaristic Boros Legion. In either case, Loxodon prefer to avoid confrontation and often use their intimidating size and popular respect to quell violence before it begins.
On Mirrodin, the Loxodon are even more mysterious than their relatives on the far more cosmopolitan plane of Ravnica. From the Razor Fields the Loxodon maintain an introverted, inscrutable society, pregnable neither by force nor friendship. So far Loxodon have only ever been seen on Mirrodin and Ravnica, so it is reasonable to assume that Memnarch brought them from Ravnica when he was starting to populate Karn's metal plane.
The race is named after the term for the Elephant genus, Loxodonta.
(Loxodon Gatekeeper, Loxodon Stalwart)
