i can confirm mammoths can spawn on brown plains. i havnt seen any on green grasslands. if someone would bother posting the exact names of all the terrains, i could tell you which one.

Personally I think mammoths are too weak. Their health seems about right, but their damage/ua doesn't seem strong enough. If you think about it, there is basically no way a single person in real life could EVER reliably kill a mammoth in single combat. Maybe if they were batshit insane and like jumped on its head and stuck a spear down its neck or something. But being able to just stand there and tank attacks? A five ton behemoth shouldn't just bounce off your armor. I think they should be buffed so that there is no way that one person could hold their ground against it, and fighting should require a large, coordinated group, like so:

If animals had armour pierce % like ants do, it'd probably be enough. Hunting with decent armour is super easy with a horse to run the animals down, even with low stats.

The problem with animals that can reliably defeat a single player is that they will reliably defeat members of a group one at a time.

Separate hunting from pvp. Some other mmo games I've played have seen fit to separate pve and pvp gear and skillsets because balancing one usually murders the other. The hunting minigame should be reasonably hard, but doable with skill more than armor and defense spamming. Perhaps give animals turn speeds, limit attacks to cone areas that make sense for each attack. Make people need to dodge or flank. Make attacks be negated by more reasons defenses. A weak boring / blunt attsck would need a shield. A clawing/slicing attack metal armor. A mammoth boring would need you to dodge or be shattered for a month if alive at all. But such a system would require optimizations to actually make such combat (or pvp for that matter) viable.
