The loxo are a fictive race in the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game. They are of the monstrous humanoid creature type. Loxo resemble humanoid elephants. They are named after a gigantic Quadling farmer in Ruth Plumly Thompson's Speedy in Oz.
Loxos appear as bipedal, humanoid elephants of roughly orc or ogre size. Their skin is bluish-gray and wrinkled with rough, sparse hair. Loxos, unlike an actual elephant, have two trunks. Both of these trunks end in three finger-like digits and they can use them as arms.
Loxo are seminomadic and peaceful clansfolk with a tribal culture which is a hybrid of Southern Asian and African real-life cultures. They inhabit warm plains.
Loxo are true neutral in alignment.
Loxo in the Forgotten Realms[]
In the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, loxo inhabit the African savannah-like grassland in the south known as the Shaar. Though usually peaceful, they war with the centaurs, wemics and thri-kreen which also dwell there.
Trivia[]
The name Loxo comes from the genus for African elephants, Loxodonta.
